According to Sky Sports, during a live broadcast of Bundesliga's opening match, Klopp was interviewed and discussed topics including Wirtz, Musiala, and the German national team.

Klopp on Kosick's role at the DFB and Uli Hoeneß's criticism

Klopp said: "Everything is fine. Many people start evaluating before we've done anything. For me, there are many expectations from the outside, and Marc will have to face some questions because this role didn't exist before. People said back then: 'You can't just change the coach.' Then we didn't just change the coach, and people said: 'But there's no need to do that either.' The truth is, Marc Kosick and I have worked together for 20 years. Whether it's building the brand, the image, or the calm in thinking and decision-making, Marc is the best I've ever seen. For us, it was clear, although not planned beforehand, that if this day came, we would do it together. We've also brought in other people, and everyone understands their role. It hasn't been easy for Marc to understand that, but things will be different in another year. I'm an expert in some areas, and in others, there are people who are better suited, and Marc Kosick is one of them, so he'll be here."

Klopp on Wirtz and recent criticism of Liverpool players

Klopp said: "I've spoken with Florian. The conversation was relaxed, no excessive politeness that made me feel I had to address some difficult issue—everything was normal. The challenge in football—and this is every coach's job—is putting talent or players in positions where they can perform most effectively. I think Liverpool understands completely where he should play. Of course it's in the middle, in the half-spaces, the pockets where he belongs. But Florian also has to learn: he needs to play at a level where the coach doesn't even think about substituting him. That's how it is, and we can't help him with that. [...] I believe Liverpool will learn how to integrate him into the team, and Florian just needs to play football his way—that's the key. I'd also very much like to see him do that at some point. However, to play with us, you have to press. I played with Shinji Kagawa in the number 10 position; he never made a tackle, but he was still one of the best pressing players I've ever seen. The core issue is not physical confrontation, but whether you're willing to participate. His technique is beyond question—for me, for everyone. But Jamie Carragher, Gary Neville, these people, they're always the first to worry back in England."

Klopp on Musiala's situation

Klopp said: "We didn't have a phone call. I sent him a voice message; he doesn't even know me or have my number. I think if I called directly, he might not answer for three days because he wouldn't recognize the number. He did reply to that message. No one wants to see him in the current situation, especially a young man like that. But everything will be fine, most people agree on that, it's just not the right time yet. I reassured him that this might affect the national team. Beyond that, I can't help much more. Vincent Kompany confirmed to me that he's in surprisingly good condition. After the screw has been removed, he's back to his old form, maybe even better. Now this situation has arisen for reasons everyone knows. The most important thing now is to give him enough time, and he also needs to be willing to rest. Young players often don't have major issues, but they become impatient, and at this stage, you certainly can't afford impatience. He's currently at a perfect club, in a perfect environment, and we also want to do everything we can to help him. We'll also tell him: 'Mate, recover your body first, the door is always open.'"

Klopp on what's needed to win major tournaments

Klopp said: "The issue isn't that tomorrow we'll have 500 of the world's best talents. The issue is that tomorrow, when we step into a match, our opponent will find it very difficult to play against us. We need to start from here right now. The DFB has many plans, but we also know that only performances can buy time—more precisely, progress buys time. To show people that things have changed. Because I can say a lot, but if we keep losing, I won't have much time. I want to have time, so now we have to deliver results. That's why I said there are two things to focus on: first, the national team, and second, everything else. But everything has to be organized. What needs to happen now is, when we gather, with only about a day and a half of training before the first match, to quickly find a way so people see: Ah! Everyone knows these lads want to fight, but we just haven't seen it yet. Now we need to show that. Being able to do that is a start. Making ourselves hard to beat is a step in the right direction, and we should start from there right now."

Klopp on communication with Bundesliga coaches

Klopp said: "Communication has been excellent. I know some of the coaches. We've had good conversations, they're all good lads, at least most of them in my opinion. I want to work with everyone. Now I'm at Bayern Munich's training ground, meeting players, and I also want to understand their training processes. Many players play in different systems, so I want to know how the coaches communicate with their players. These conversations are very important. But we've only just started, we haven't really felt the pressure yet. What needs to happen now is to build a common feeling and really collaborate."

Klopp on working with Bundesliga coaches

Klopp said: "The message I want to convey is perhaps that I want to work closely with them. I've been a club coach for 24, 25 years, and I know that feeling very well: always sensing that a player is playing too much, or not at all. If he's not playing, you think he's not training enough. You ask the club who they've sent back. Of course, we want to handle this relationship differently. We want to treat this responsibly. We want the national team to also bring value to the clubs—for example, by helping them through training, by boosting their confidence. [...] I've also spoken with some players. But now it's just about getting to know each other. For me, the core message is that we want to do things more thoroughly. Everyone agrees on this. It's entirely possible to play better, and to do that, everyone has to do more. Once everyone gathers, we'll address these issues. There are some common requirements, and some things that must be adhered to, but all of this will make sense. Then we'll get to work. But before that, I still have a lot to do because I still need to get to know many people; I've been away too long, 11 years. So there's a lot to do. So far, everything has been interesting. I have the best job, and I haven't lost a match yet."

Klopp on his first two weeks as national team coach

Klopp said: "These two weeks have been great, very good. I've learned a lot, understood a lot, met many people and had many conversations. But the most important thing still hasn't happened—the Bundesliga needs to restart. Players have to play, stay fit, etc. We've had DFB Cup matches and midweek European matches. This is how things should go now. Full of positive emotions and full of anticipation."
