Klopp emphasizes that players must give their all: I like to use players boldly.

Jürgen Klopp, from Germany, was appointed as the new head coach of the German national team today. At the press conference, Klopp said that he likes to use different players boldly and emphasized that players must give their all on the field.

In the 2026 World Cup, Germany, led by Nagelsmann, successfully advanced to the round of 32. However, in the round of 32, after equalizing the score in regular time thanks to a goal by Havertz, the "German Machine" lost 3-4 to Panama in a difficult penalty shootout, failing to advance to the round of 16.

Following Nagelsmann's departure as head coach, the German Football Association announced today the appointment of Klopp as the new head coach of Germany.

The 59-year-old Klopp managed Liverpool, a Premier League powerhouse, for nine years, leading the "Reds" to their first-ever Premier League title, as well as two League Cup titles, one FA Cup, one UEFA Super Cup, and one Champions League title, among other major accolades.

I will resign if my family members are criticized.

In an interview, Klopp said, "Some players will get opportunities they never even thought they would because I like to be bold in my personnel decisions. I want to work with players who are willing to play football that everyone enjoys watching. This approach may not lead to immediate success, but I hope the national team can play games that fans will still find incredible and exciting after leaving the stadium."

"It will take a lot of effort to achieve this. All players who are qualified to represent the German national team should give their all, and I will continue to watch them. No one is excluded today; this is a fresh start."

In addition, Klopp stated, "If one day all of you, or even the vast majority of you, think I should leave, then I will resign voluntarily and will not seek any compensation. If the outside world deliberately targets my family and prevents them from having a peaceful life, then I will leave immediately."

“I have seen what Nagelsmann and Tuchel went through, and I know that the situation in other countries may be even worse. My only request is that criticism be directed at me only. Whether the team plays well or not, everyone is welcome to criticize me.”

Klopp emphasized, "When things are going well, there's really no need to praise me too much, because that's our job. If the team doesn't perform well, I'm also fully willing to take responsibility and work hard to improve."
