The former head coach of Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool, and now the director of international relations of the sports department of Red Bull and a member of the expert group at the German Football League, Jurgen Klopp spoke about the German national team. His words are quoted by Kicker.

“I respect Julian Nagelsmann, I like him a lot. He is a great specialist. I think he has a great team, especially if there are no injured players.

However, we should stop thinking that if we participate in a tournament, we must win it. I don’t know and I don’t understand the exact reasons why it should be like that and why we should change everything if we are eliminated in the semi-finals or quarter-finals.

Other countries like France, Spain are just too strong. Or England, who could have won the title in recent years with their squad,” Klopp said.
