6:02 am
he negotiated a cease fire in september. so i have a totally normal guy. maybe if you want. this is the normal one you're going to claw. a completely normal person and that's what i want to say. but how normal can someone really be who can lift up an endangered. more a little bit more about. some other people. are normal can someone to be who is given the. new lease of life.
6:03 am
normal can someone be who can lead to different teams to the champions league final and can compete for the premier league title and can be more well liked in england any german ever before. we ask him what he has to say our exclusive interview with you going to close now with. my old friend and fellow german i haven't met him in years but he hasn't changed and i can speak. english. so. i first interviewed. years ago in mind. then again and dark moment when he became
6:04 am
a legend in germany and now which setting liverpool. when we first met in mind. know we're sitting here and talking english what's the main difference from then to not. i've met at least. a job changed completely. i was in in mind. in the very beginning with a sponsor before absolutely everything wrong the football team we had fifty percent highland sporting director and it would be about the club pretty much to decide oh the mystery of it the best way to love the job so if you have to do everything you nobody's really watching it because my know what was interesting minds as i had to learn that when i learned the hard way and mean that i'm boss off what i did that
6:05 am
time alone i have now i would say maybe twenty a season for you so i'm no really the mantle of will be coaching stuff and. i can't do that because i know what they're all doing because i did it by myself so that made me into. the time when i left dried up you see a lot on the stage and i said all i am and all but i became. that you had to and them that's exactly like it is that i learned everything there and could use that for the rest of my life i just. i just was. so i use the using the same two it's used. here as to use my interest of full people so i was always very interesting people so didn't change the problems of the boys changed
6:06 am
a lot because of social media and stuff like that much more pressure my money's of off the pressure increase incredibly so and that's all there very young and. just every day it's like acting constantly in the glasshouse constantly and for there was easy whatever you do each mistake each failure it's a good thing it's a bad thing well there's if you're good you outstanding if you're not good you are the worst in the world so it's nothing there's no there's only like why there's no career. color grays disappeared somehow. i was always a pretty calm person that's probably nobody can really imagine that because i look quite different but i have been a bunch of bull but we have a ball for a football game it's true. that in normal things of life i'm completely calm and now meanwhile i'm much more experienced than i was that time but. i said probably we spoke about that i'm not sure if years ago because i was
6:07 am
a very young father i had to learn it pretty early to take care for young people. and that's what i'm still doing the boys are now younger than my sons so i still like it a lot and so that's it and that's. only players with world class potential not all of them will be world class but the world class potential in my job is to help them to become. class and that's the job to do and that's not did then already eighty percent about football but the last twenty percent can be really decisive and that's my job. and dump money he did the same he picked young players and the family very successful. i always ask myself how did he choose his players. how do you do it. do you do it by instinct more by instinct on my brain or is there something in
6:08 am
between like bulk of. chess and. it depends. it's too important that when he can speak my belly that's too important other things it's too expensive let me say it's too expensive the people trust me a lot and and so i cannot spend millions but i think it. could work if you sign a player you have to know as much as possible it's easy to find a good football player to know him as a person. or learning about him as a person it's not that easy job that needs a p.c. experience and i try that players are very often surprised when i meet them first time that we don't talk at all about football because the thing is already done for me because i don't sit here because a very good footballer otherwise it would be a waste of time i'm sure they're meeting. a lot good football to be honest and then asking about our club or whatever so. you're talking with some life my friend terry
6:09 am
. called and the good world. thought it was possible that it's possible no not really likely to be honest. everybody knows burley meanwhile that i'm really the christian but it's. not. i don't know because i know that so i don't i'm not a mr whatever that said it's all just so people who live in the free world and we cannot. it's not my mission. talking of people most people in the put see the tide john as the messiah and. probably hasn't been any german before him that english people adored this much. you can call his perfect political your clubs are doing a good job it. would be good tryna experience absolutely brigades. and this season might make dreams come true liverpool at tight in the race for the
6:10 am
league title and are in the champions league semifinal what would be more important fun of a poor cup winning the premier league winning the champions league very famous question actually. on friday night it's winning the premier league. and then on wednesday when the germans league then on sunday said that they will hear from a leak choose the healing visitors league and then settle the after that or sunday i think when the premier league so. begin to make that decision we have to play our best football in each game but if you are so people that's. very. obvious on so from the people it would be winning the league winning every game made the waiting for the last yeah but is it the kind of question people around us understood as people around the stadium and if you the prize for winning the league this year would be that you can watch a liverpool game anymore in the stadium what would you say is my ticket.
6:11 am
like forty years going each home game and field rolled what's a game that shows how much it means so easy easy answer and. but what can we do and i'll be on the terms of semifinal i think we should still try. last year you were very close to winning the tempest. do you think. this game have. already forgotten or is that motivation both though of course his head does a lot to the right for last year because it was difficult and robust as always to because good in terms of fun so i'm already blessed that it was or a device they had it's unbelievable most of my colleagues have to your whole life with all they have a really good coaches don't have the teams i had and i don't have the experience to to face by a meeting or i'm afraid which i was the final it's a really interesting experience where i was losing it is a very interesting experience as well not something you need but it's like a very very strong medicine which you actually want. but if you take it if that can
6:12 am
help and that's actually how we took it. you know if you'll try it again if it's possible of course but it's like this the world out there is like this if i mean well probably. lost the last six finals i was in. that didn't make me a broken person or whatever so for me life is tried and tried again and tried again if only if only the winners allowed to survive then we all have to go so i really think it's not about winning and so i'll try that if that's if that's the ne god who ever thought i need to show that somebody can do six finals in a row and still goes to the seventh and i'm the perfect person for that that's all it is. i don't know who decided it but. obviously a funny guy. even having lost some finals he still everybody's darling in england improving germany's image abroad he's now been nominated to become the german
6:13 am
football ambassador. people surprised when i met you and learned that you. i think you heard you hear immediately that i'm from johnny b. that we never get rid of all trauma next and it says a day they tell us that we have to be john this is a really hard language and for us it's like the thing which is beings like us and so softly i could and never will be able to speak like that so that just not possible so they were not surprised that i'm sure because they hear it immediately but of course it's you you realize that it's actually a time where people when they think about don't have a lot of good experiences they met some germans here in their madame in the mad american friends why would i met them as all good people so it's a good time actually for your it doesn't look like with all the breaks of things around but it's actually the time we had in the european union helped obviously that we all came closer to each other and be so i'm not sure how many foreign
6:14 am
people live in london to be honest it's pretty much like berlin if you're speaking english anyway and berlin it's the by the language you speak in berlin then german so a lot of that to be honest in london because in this of course as well but it's the same from all over the world they come together and that's what what i really love . i don't like this area of thinking and that's where the other love most about the e.u. would be cool to travel wherever we wanted and needed a passport but actually didn't have to show it i know that it's not always that easy one hundred percent but still off the idea when players go abroad but what would your advice be open just be open and be a baby learn language as quick as possible it helps a lot so the nice thing with english people is that the they know way they did they don't speak very much any foreign language because they don't have to the whole world is being in its own way should learn a foreign language for us to be always a bit english but they are not a lot of drama but what they are able to really nice is if you speak three birds
6:15 am
english english person makes a sentence of it so they want to understand you. i know what you mean and then they help you as well but still it helps a lot if you follow the language has always been. for socializing and coming to ghettos it's brilliant but on top of that just be open and read and learn and learn this maybe for young people especially sounds like a negative birth because it means a reading a book or whatever but it's learning it's actually learning from from life how they are why they are like this so it's for me it's really true. since everything that. you know how to go i stopped drinking coffee. and i mean it would be if you would have asked me. two years ago if you want to two years i'm not you know sorry i don't need it so and it's just it's about it's a nice addition is a different sort of money to make good and it's all it's all a little bit of the coffees machine and i still can't understand why people think oh i had no confidence want to have you so for different reasons but that's only
6:16 am
one little thing so i understand you bye bye bye people are doing it to you to have tea time they call. they call it for tea so it was makes no sense but it's just in the book if you have fourteen and fourteen nothing with in t.v. but it's so they call it ian's also little things what you only understand really when you live there because you don't find it in any books so you're quite good integrated with the one hundred percent yes say yes yes yes yes so it's like this is a bit of a full english breakfast you could have offered me in germany three times we're going to said five times i don't want it so i don't want that and then you are now here under the you get it in germany think one egg a day or you die of a heart attack if you die of a heart attack after one egg a day then all england collapse tomorrow because they have five x. in the morning already. seen them a special one. that's hoses in moving you introduced to save
6:17 am
a child see unlike you i don't want to describe myself you know the thing i could. ask anybody this room i think. that i do want to know so let me work i would totally normal guy a can for black forest. and my mother maybe sit in front of the television and watch his press conference and said no word i'm still no. but he's very proud she's very proud so i'm a totally normal guy i'm the normal one maybe if you want this. when you came here you introduced us of us of a normal one and we were sitting in germany and laughing because we knew you and oh you. i am one hundred percent but if you don't know what the others what i don't know i don't know this is what we look for as well and i know that's how it is. life is very often this kind of marketing you have to be your own
6:18 am
marketing business like you have to sell yourself stuff like that that means you have to prepared for things like a press conference or whatever i wasn't. real knew the only thing i know about myself is read that i can react pretty spontaneous so because my whole life is my preparation for what like for as long as i talk about football i'm always prepared because i think so much about it it's strange. and the press conference my only worry was that i did some of the make which would be good enough so because of course i have no real english skills apart from i'm not the generation grown up of ok could have heard a lot of music and learning english by that like my sons that actually. but i was not in music guy so my english was kind of another press conference and we all know famous press conference with a lot of my peers and stuff i guess first time into your going to you don't want to be famous for that problem says the language my niece is a lady. my german is better and i have the. list. i understand. i'm also
6:19 am
a little bit lucky and can even if you know the american look at him then i said what i said that was not true and wasn't prepared i said normal and that's how i see myself that's not. i don't know how to say the english but it's not that i did i want people think he things he says is annoying but he knows he's the special one i want evidence of like this i'm completely because i think about myself as a complete a normal person i have so many questions still much more than answers means how can it could i be special how could i be exceptional so i am an obit more a little bit more about football than. some other people that's true doesn't make me a special person to those who make use only luck because five hundred years ago with that i could have slept in the street so with that knowledge and i'm a really lucky person that my best skill is needed somehow. and that's what i appreciate every single day i know haughey coaches they work i
6:20 am
wrote a lot of work five times more than i do and four percent of what i earn so i'm not a happy person i would be really crazy but i'm smart enough not to overestimate that not to think them all as i think because it's strange it's just football so. my how i see me i'm a completely normal person and that's what i want to say that day and now it's on a teacup. but been through notice at any time that you made me a little more normal misnomer than the others because you are different from the other side what am i so different from others now i have another skill and it's again pure luck and i can't. so i can speak like a waterfall so i don't i'm not worrying about what people think that's true but that's true thank you so i'm not yeah absolutely pure gift i know that so is a red light camera i'm not getting nervous.
6:21 am
so that keeps me completely calm in a situation where ninety percent all day i get nervous that makes me different it's a pure coincidence and a pure skill i have nothing i didn't teach myself in that i didn't try to get a target it will be like this completely no it's a pure time so how could i be proud on a tell it so but in the world out there with the outside view on you is really important it's an important skill. obviously that's an important skill but again pure coincidence five hundred years ago i would have could have dance in front of the king probably. that is and all the rest. of the sleeves get to the street so i know you're a lucky guy one hundred percent i said a couple of times but it's really like that. the director's going to head off my
6:22 am
school when i did a level and i want to sports price for my best friends one science prize and. language prize and i got a spot for us money so he said in front of all these other guys who got a little and i had with a mike in his hand i hope it works all the football because it's not not really worrying about you so i had you know that i had thought i think the same but i do have to say that now this really can hear it so i knew i was lucky. people miss him in germany. the good old days spent surprised europe and german football was top of the heap. and what happened to german football since you went away ah that's the explanation no but those it's i only way that they would like that. story i know it's that it's of course nothing really you went to the place you could put it like that. yeah small decision no.
6:23 am
nothing really it's just after a long long spell of fantastic results big success and there's a little dip. in the development that can happen but i saw no a jump in playing against holland. you're going to. make if you would. be honest but it was full of skills full of talent full of you with full of joy and all that stuff was a really really good team and. i thought if that's if these are problems then no problem. israeli so. it's always it should be life like this why should always the same country with everything why should always the same team we know everything so there are moments when you have a high in moments when you have rather low if you learn of it everything is fine and that's the real problem in germany and with international football like you repeatedly german see. this discussion we have already for
6:24 am
a couple of years in germany always when the teams are not that successful it's the same. we have to admit just singing them is more money around that's the truth because of t.v. money so it's a different system its owner system it's not like it's not a club although a station like they have it in germany and that makes. life easier than you have just the top six in england would be top six yes to get a dog and buying in germany as well would be in italy and spain about you know there would be in that because it's just so good just really good football teams here here no that's not much your way can go you could be like the king of money and coach someday the national team could go to italy on clubs like that do you have a picture of yourself in the future no you don't do that no not at all nothing for interesting about it but maybe. if i think about my future as a future when i stop working oh yeah and when the going is that because that should
6:25 am
be a moment when i still have. enough energy to do. things i had never time for so it should not be that i seem to be really happy that i sit on the bench when i'm seventy or something like that for everybody not to reveal just of ok all of a lot of things look the first part of my life was only a really good life but the first part of my life was i had no money and no time and then i had a bit more money immediate no time anymore and i have the money but absolutely no time so it means i didn't see anything of the world if i see a city and i see the stadium and the hotel and the street. i drive the bus that's it so i miss the most precious yeah i'm pretty. of pretty of course famous rather than all phrase so i cannot go to a lot of places without signing thousand of autographs what makes this all pro or
6:26 am
even. if it's a year. it's not so important what people think when you come in it's much more important what people think and when you leave don't worry he's not going anywhere yet but will leave you with some of our favorite memories from his long and successful career so far. thanks for watching and remember not to slack off in english class it's not of which ones are in germany i'm a good eight fifteen feet sometimes one comes. through the other.
