"I want to improve everything. Present the German national team in a positive light so that we can eventually rise to the top again," he announced. Above all, his football should be exciting: "It’s been a while since I watched internationals outside of major tournaments. I’d really love for all of us to watch every international again. We all agree that successful football can change a country."
He sees the fans and their enthusiasm as an important aspect of achieving success, because a certain level of emotion is needed to get through difficult moments as well.
And tactically? Klopp: "Counter-pressing will be an important topic, a stable formation, a clear footballing idea. With all the uncertainties that come with it. We won’t play man-marking," even though Bayern Munich play with man-marking. He also said he gained important impressions from the World Cup: "The teams that could have won the tournament played with a back four. We’ll do that too. We’ll also play with wingers. The playmakers of today’s generation are out wide."
He also hopes to be given time to develop things. Success cannot be guaranteed immediately, but he wants to deliver a kind of football that gives the fans a good feeling. Football that gives you the sense that the team has given everything. If that succeeds, then success is possible too.
He cited France as an example, saying they have the better individual players. "But that doesn’t mean we can’t beat them."
