Klopp rejects racist comments about the national team

Jürgen Klopp reacted with disgust to racist and offensive comments on social networks during the national football team's international match against Greece. When asked by a reporter about reports that the team was “not German enough” or “not white enough,” the national coach initially said in the press conference before the next Nations League game against Serbia in Munich on Thursday (8:45 p.m./ZDF) that he “didn’t notice.”

After that, Klopp became clear. «So, there is no reason to worry about these people. They don't get my thoughts. In normal life I have little time for stupidity - and neither for social media," said the 59-year-old and continued: "The big crux of our lives is that everyone is allowed to express their opinion. It's crazy if something like that was there."

The sports locker room as an example to the world

The group he has together in the national team camp - including a number of players with a migrant background - "couldn't be more great in this coexistence," explained the 59-year-old head coach.

“The world should take a sports locker room as an example,” says Klopp: “Everyone there is respected based on the right facts and not discredited based on wrong opinions. Point!"
