Jurgen Klopp has full confidence in Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann and the national team. In an exclusive interview, the former Liverpool coach showed his support for both.
As the DFB squad prepares for the crucial World Cup qualifying match in Northern Ireland, Klopp — speaking from Mallorca — sent a clear message: trust over doubt.
“I completely trust Julian Nagelsmann, and I don’t need to constantly check to say: everything will be fine. I know everything will be fine!” said the 58-year-old at a padel tournament.
The former Dortmund coach praised the head coach: “Julian is an extraordinary coach, and we have extraordinary players.”
Klopp sees the current situation as part of a development process: “A team needs to find itself, learn, and fight together. They are doing that right now. And then we will see a great World Cup with the German team.”
He also recalled previous difficult qualification campaigns: “No one has ever become world champion after struggling in qualifying. Before the 1990 World Cup, Icke Häßler had to score a very late goal just to get us through.”
Currently, Germany sits in Group A with six points, level with Northern Ireland and Slovakia
Klopp: Wirtz discussions ‘a bit exaggerated’
Florian Wirtz, currently under contract with Liverpool FC, has received strong backing from Jurgen Klopp. The German international is still struggling to find his rhythm in the Premier League after his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen.
Speaking to RTL/ntv and sport.de, Klopp remained calm: “The discussions are a bit overblown. Right now, Liverpool have lost three games in a row — that’s unusual, but it’s also normal in life. That’s why people start talking about things like this.”
He continued: “I’ve been at the center of such discussions for long enough to know that nothing could matter less to the people inside the club than public debates.”
Klopp couldn’t hide his admiration for Wirtz’s potential: “Florian is a once-in-a-century talent, and sooner or later he’ll start showing that again in every game, just like he did at Leverkusen.”

FLORIAN WIRTZ is a fantastic player the problem lies with Liverpool manager he has no ideas, what Liverpool did last season is mostly KLOPP system. Now no more he has no system , I am very afraid he won't survive at Liverpool..All transfers are useless expect WIRTZ the others are failure

The same problems is with ARSENAL manager , He will play the same players no changes and at last you will see most players are injured as the remains fixtures where they start losing.
