Klopp reveals there is "nothing to say" about links to Germany head coach role | OneFootball

"There are 500,000 ways to win a football match. You just have to find one," said Jürgen Klopp on Magenta TV, reflecting on Germany's penalty shootout defeat to Paraguay. 

It seemed only natural that the next port of call in the discussion was whether Klopp himself could take on the role of Germany coach – a position he has been heavily linked with of late.

"I haven't thought about that [the German head coach role] yet. I understand that when the national coach position is discussed, my name is mentioned in some form.

“But it's not the moment to really talk about it. There's nothing to say about it. I have a job that I enjoy very much. As far as I know, it's not a part-time job,” Klopp explained. 

Regarding the performance of Julian Nagelsmann's team, Klopp felt Germany “didn't create enough” and strongly criticized their general approach over the 120 minutes.

"You have to attack down the wings. There's no alternative. We all know how well these guys can play, but they didn't bring that to the pitch. In three months, we'll be raving about Wirtz and Musiala again , about how great they are. But not now.”

"Paraguay had the opportunity to achieve something (…) Germany was under pressure to achieve something. Everyone in the stadium thought: Now they'll turn it around! But we didn't. We let them off the hook.”

Klopp also stressed that structural changes were needed within the Bundesrepublik's football system and how they can go about implementing a change:

“We can talk about the DFB (German Football Association). We absolutely have to change a few things. We can start with the U-10s and wait a few years to see what the results are.”
