Overview
- Treu, who spoke to German outlets on Sunday, said he expected a one-week camp in mid‑October but stayed for three weeks after Jürgen Klopp told him at a team dinner that he would remain with the squad.
- The 25-year-old made his senior debut in the 1:1 friendly in Amsterdam and described the emotional high of entering the pitch and singing the national anthem with his family in the stands.
- Treu praised Klopp as a reassuring, detail-focused coach who mixed personal encouragement with tactical input, including showing a Liverpool pressing video to the group.
- After the match Joshua Kimmich gave Treu a debut medal and offered supportive words that the defender said meant a great deal to him and helped him feel accepted by senior teammates.
- Treu has hung his first Germany jersey at home with grass stains still visible, holds a coaching B-license, and his sudden rise to the national team is likely to increase attention on his long-term role at club and international level.
