Jürgen Klopp – The pain after the last Ufftata – Süddeutsche.de

The coach leaves the BVB with a defeat that hurts. He he delivers a skirmish with ARD man Delling and hopes that the cameras out.



From Filippo Cataldo, Berlin / Munich

Jürgen Klopp was in jogging step disappeared in the catacombs of the Olympic Stadium. He had applauded fair on the lawn, was presented as the Wolfsburgern the Cup, and before every hugging, who had run across his path. But the lap of honor of the winner, which he had not yet wish to view.

But then Klopp returned once again to the interview with Gerhard Delling and Mehmet Scholl. Klopp had to deal with it, he gave the same to. “It’s the biggest challenge in life, deal with defeat. I do not begrudge it to Wolfsburg. But our defeat was unnecessary today,” he said. Could lose Klopp never really good. But now he wanted to try it. It was, after his last defeat. His last defeat in the last match with Dortmund. Klopp wanted to pull himself together, but Jürgen Klopp is Jürgen Klopp. He had lost, Delling was too naughty. Klopp reacted. And so waiting the outgoing coach to bow out with one of his emotional moments in dealing with reporters on.



“You do not think that you have five minutes nor pity”

Delling had wanted to quickly lead to another topic after the game analysis to elated too fast and for Klopp. “That’s the Horny at your job,” he said. And then: “You do not think that you still have a bit of compassion in five minutes, the challenge of dealing with defeat, is for me a wide and with you is the same Ufftata-Ufftata…” Klopp’s conclusion: “Since you can also still a bit to learn …”

Delling disagreed gently and asked Klopp, as he now would. “. Below average I’m working incredibly to me, the defeat to process,” he said and then showed how close to him went the whole affair: “Each time I embrace a my player and I think maybe that was the last time , immediately the tears come. It is a beautiful story that comes to an end. But I have to handle things one by one. And this thing I’d like to work with when the cameras are off, “he said.

This thing. His departure from Dortmund. His farewell to his club, his fans, and a little also of a part of itself.



Klopp of hurly-burly was rather unpleasant

Here Klopp had until the final whistle did everything to the divert attention from himself and his farewell. That this cup final against VfL Wolfsburg, Klopp’s third overall, at the same time his (for now?) Would be the last game as coach of Borussia Dortmund? A chance of – admittedly self-selected – history. The players should be the focus, the Berlin night, maybe just the Cup, but certainly not: Jürgen Klopp. He was all the fuss about his person rather unpleasant.



Unlike him had many others of course done a lot to make the cup final for the last Klopp Festival. The car sponsor of the club, coincidentally one of the biggest rival of VW owners Wolfsburg had distributed masks with Klopp’s likeness among fans. And long before the kickoff. So wore all afternoon legion of fans Klopp Visage including the characteristic gum line for a walk through the capital. Hundreds, oh what, thousands Klopp-Kauleisten at Kottbusser Tor, Brandenburg Gate, around the Olympic Stadium. That was perhaps a bit too much of a good thing. And the players had promised to want Klopp with his second Cup victory, his fourth title overall, goodbye.

“The future of the coach has no relevance to the game,” had Klopp but already at Zag before Game said. Whether he could not believe it himself? On Saturday he repeated it anyway and then spoke about the trappings. “It is, as it should be in front of a finale. Accordingly, here is a good atmosphere. The weather is good, it does not rain, it could not be better,” Klopp told before the kickoff of the ARD. “Of course, I enjoy the atmosphere. We have earned the final, now we are here, now let us get the thing also.” Business as usual, well, final business as usual flat.



Better than of him they should run for Kehl, their captain

It was only when ex-Bayer Mehmet Scholl, for ARD as an expert in Berlin, objected that the players their coach naturally wanted to give a good-bye, Klopp admitted: “When one sees itself as a good coach with a team, then it can happen that players take a step more.” But even more they love and much more his players should for Sebastian Kehl race, their captain, who made his last game against Wolfsburg his professional career. “For a player that is a lot more like that. One of course he wants to help. If the coach a should hold back a bit, the other players should be fully opened,” said Klopp.

Otherwise, if his departure just yet not the issue. Saw Borussia coach Dieter Hecking as: “He says goodbye to Borussia Dortmund, but he’s not from the world we safely go right back on the way Say goodbye I do not need it – and the title he does not need..” , he did not say.

Does he also. But if he had, of course, had very much anyway. Not only because he now another so beloved by him itinerary denied on a truck loader to the Borsigplatz. Not only because “one of the best stories that I know in football” (Klopp Klopp and Dortmund), has now gone titellos and a disappointment to end. Not only because Klopp just can not lose. Especially because the Wolfsburg, however, were more clever, the defeat was “unnecessary”, as Klopp is still expressed caution.





Hands off: Jürgen Klopp’s departure must take place without Cup.

And so was there, as later explained Klopp instead of a trophy ceremony including subsequent Sause at Borsigplatz “just a farewell ceremony” at his last press conference as Dortmund coach. He also admitted: “Farewell now beginning to ache I have tried to express my gratitude to each of my players – I found it very hard to let go again..”

At the kickoff Klopp had yet to thought his departure. And if so, then he hid it well. In the 94 minutes from Berlin Klopp was just: 94 minutes Klopp. And his players offered which incidentally, also 94 minutes Klopp Football. The Wolfsburg-based course also. It was a full-throttle event at the Olympic Stadium, a duel, conducted with an open visor, a game with almost perverse many chances for a single final. And in the middle of the ordinary Klopp madness, this time without any borderline actions.



The leadership he cheered only moderately, later he shows his teeth

It took less than three minutes of the game, until he for the first time the close contact with the fourth official sought. Robert Hartmann was allowed to listen for a foul by Luiz Gustavo from Gündogan a few kind words Klopp. No game five minutes it took to Klopp abklatschte with his men on the bench. Aubameyang had the 1: 0 shot. It had been a high-quality technical results, a goal predicate valuable. Aubameyang celebrated the strike with a somersault, Klopp cheered rather subdued. Who knows if he would have gone out more off if he had known that he would not be able to cheer on this evening

Dieter Hecking was at 1: 1. By Luiz Gustavo in any case clearly ecstatic as Klopp previously , The contrast had unpacked the complete keyboard of Klopp coaching before the equalizer: Reus shoots over the crossbar – Klopp fires clapping at; Gündogan loses a duel – Klopp shakes his head; Luiz Gustavo and Kehl carry out a duel – Klopp makes a lunge, as if he were umgrätschen the Wolfsburg equal; Referee Felix Brych whistles no penalty for Dortmund – Klopp fist smacks against the balmy spring air Berlin; Wolfsburg takes the lead – Klopp fires to the players; Wolfsburg expanding its leadership – Klopp showing teeth; Kevin De Bruyne is treated on the sidelines – Klopp sets itself only with the Wolfsburg-based Bank staff before he encouragingly patting the player’s mind; Dortmund and Wolfsburg awarded chance after chance in the second half – Klopp times pressed with index and middle fingers to the thumb, times with a dismissive thumb movement, with and without gum line. And then, the closer the final whistle came, the closer the Cup defeat came, the gestures were economical, the facial expressions frozen.

And then came the hugs. And the kisses in the wind. And escape from the lawn.
