According to Sport1, Borussia Dortmund chairman and DFB (German Football Association) vice president Hans-Joachim Watzke responded to earlier criticism of the DFB by Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeneß. Hoeneß had previously claimed that Germany's new coach Jürgen Klopp and his advisor Marc Kosicke have "taken over the DFB."

Watzke dismissed this notion in an interview with RTL and Sky Sport, saying: "I don't know what this has to do with the allegation of a peaceful takeover. Two of Germany's previous coaches, Nagelsmann and Flick, both came from Bayern, but no one said at the time that it was a peaceful takeover of the DFB by Bayern."

Watzke believes it is natural for a coach with Klopp's extensive experience and influence to have opinions about his backroom staff. He said: "Uli of all people should know about this. He also had the best coach in the world at Bayern. Every head coach has ideas about their coaching staff—that's completely normal. Kompany also brought some of his own staff when he came to Bayern, and that had nothing to do with a peaceful takeover."

Regarding changes in the German national team since Klopp took over, Watzke said the atmosphere surrounding the team has improved significantly. He stated: "When we had to go home early during the World Cup, everyone felt that deep disappointment. But now that emotion has transformed into anticipation and excitement across Germany, and people are happy again."

Watzke also expressed his support for Klopp: "I have great faith in Jürgen. Let him work his way, and he will surely deliver good results in the end."
