funny the adventures of the famous naturalist and explorer. to celebrate alexandre from 250 if they weren't working on the for the job discovery. expedition in boyd on dino. you. know i have a totally normal guy i'm not normal one maybe if you're one of those. this is the normal one you're going to clone. a completely normal person and that's what i want to say the odds are to go. but how normal can someone really be who can
7:31 pm
lift up an endangered dortmund's and lead them to 2 titles in a rather i'm in orbit more a little bit more about. some of the people now normal can someone be who is given the once world beating club liverpool a new lease of life. especially what in this room think. you want to know. how 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 than any german ever before. being focused perfectly legal we asked him what he has to say our exclusive interview with you going to club now with kick off life. my old friend and fellow journalist i haven't met him in years. but he hasn't changed. i
7:32 pm
can speak like a waterfall. except for. the top 6 something that. i 1st interviewed him 12 years ago in mind. then again and he became a legend in germany and now. when we 1st met in mind. knowing something here and talking english what's the main difference from then to know. your middle east. the job changed completely and. i was in in mind. in the very beginning response before absolutely everything wrong the football team
7:33 pm
we had 50 percent hi lynn spalding director and it would be about the club pretty much to decide on the mystery of the best way to learn which opens with you have to do everything in nobody's really watching it because my know what was interesting months as i had to learn that when i learned the hard way and mean boss off what i did that time alone i have now i would say maybe 20 assistant for you so i'm already the manager of the coaching stuff and. i can't do that because i know what they all are doing because i did it by myself so that made me into a good time when i left dried up you see a lot on the stage that said all i am and all but i became. that you had to and them that's exactly like it is so i learned everything there and could use that for the rest of my life i was. just as you come.
7:34 pm
through i am still using the same 2. and minds here i still use my interest of full people so i was always very interesting people so i didn't change the problems of the boys changed a lot because of social media and stuff like much more pressure i know money is involved the pressure increase incredibly so and that's all they're very young and . every day it's like acting constantly in the glasshouse constantly for their was c.c. 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 that you . the worst in the world so there's nothing there's not there's only black white there's no great color greys disappeared somehow. i was always a pretty calm person that's probably nobody can really measure that because i look
7:35 pm
quite different and have been a bunch of cool 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 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 and so that's it and the. 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 that's the job to do and that's not done already 80 percent about football but the last 20 percent can be really decisive and that's my job. and dump money he did the same he
7:36 pm
picked young players and build a family very successful and. 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 between like bulk of the chest and. it depends. it's too important they only can speak my belly and that's too important and the 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 to needs of his experience that i try that players are
7:37 pm
very often surprised when i meet them 1st 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 waste of time i'm sure there me to. a lot good football or to be honest and then asking about our club or whatever so. you're talking with some life my friend terry. called and the good world. thought it was possible that that's possible no not really likely to be honest. everybody knows the meanwhile that i'm really good christian but it's. not. i don't know because i know that i'm not a christian whatever that said it's all just so people who live in the free world and cannot. it's not my mission. talking off believe most people in liverpool would see the tide john as the messiah. that probably hasn't been any
7:38 pm
german before him that english people adore this much. you can call his perfect political when your thoughts are doing a good job it. would be good training or experience absolutely doing it's. and this season might make dreams come true liverpool are tight in the race for the league title and are in the champions league semifinal what would be more important for liverpool winning the premier league a 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 to use the hearing visitors league and then set of the after that or sunday i think when the premier league so. becoming a decision we have to play our best football in each game but if you are some people that's. very. obvious on some form of people it would be winning the league
7:39 pm
winning have we made waiting for the last yeah but is it the kind of question people around us i just need to ask people around the stadium if you the prize for winning the league this year would be that you never ever can watch a liverpool game anymore in the stadium or would you say. there's my ticket. like 40 years going each home game and field road what's a game that shows how much it means so easy easy answer and. but what can we do now we're on in terms of semifinal i think we should still try. last year you work with very close to winning the tempest. do you think. this game have. already forgotten or is that what you're facing both though of course he's had does a lot to write for last year because it was difficult all right vs always typical to go to 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 be
7:40 pm
a whole life with all they have a really good coaches don't have the teams i had and i don't have to experience who to face by a meeting or rabbit redemption 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 watch. but if you take it it still can help and that's actually how we took it. and all 3 of you will try it again if it's possible of course but it's like this the world out there is like this if i'm probably. lost the last 6 finals i was and. 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 to when i was 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 the god who ever thought i need to show that somebody can do 6 miles in
7:41 pm
a row and still goes to the 7th 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's everybody's darling in england improving germany's image abroad he's now been nominated to become the german football ambassador. people surprised when i met you and learned that you. i think you're here immediately that i'm from germany to be never get rid of all german x. and it says the day they tell us that we have the german is a really hard language and for us it's like a thing which is beings like us and so softly i could and never will be able to speak like that so that's just not possible so they were not surprised 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 joining a lot of good experiences they met some germans here in their madame in the mad
7:42 pm
american france where they met them as all good people so it's a good time actually for your it doesn't look like with all the breaks and 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 i'd be so i would not show how many foreign people live in london to be honest it's pretty much like berlin you if you're speaking english anyway berlin the better language just being in berlin than german so and also that to be honest in london the kids in there are 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 while there were other love most about you would it 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 100 percent but i still love the idea that players go abroad but what for your advice will be open just be open and be
7:43 pm
a baby learn language as we just possible it helps a lot so a nice thing with english people is that the they no way that they don't speak pretty much any foreign language because they don't have to the whole world is speaking 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're rebuts really nice is if you speak 3 bits english english person makes a sentence of it so they want to understand you it's really like. oh yeah i know what you mean and then they help you as well but still it helps a lot if you learn the language has always been helps with socializing and then coming to ghettos it's brilliant but on top of that just be open and really learn and learn this maybe for young people especially sounds like a negative birth because it means a reasonable goal of ever 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. this is something that. you know how to go i stopped drinking coffee. and i mean it would
7:44 pm
be if you would have asked me. 2 years ago if you want to t.s.a. i'm not you know sorry i don't need it so and it's just it's about it's a nice tradition is a different sort of money to a kid and it's all it's all a little bit of it because his machine and i still can't understand why people think i have no confidence one of us so for different reasons but that's only one little thing so i understand you bye bye bye people are doing to have tea time they call. dinner they call it 40 so this makes no sense but it's just everybody to have $14.14 nothing with them to be there but it's dinner so they call it installed so little things would you only understand really when you live there because you don't find even any books so you're quite good integrated with the 100 percent yes yes yes yes yes so it's like this is a full english breakfast you could have offered me in germany 3 times we're going to said 5 times i don't 'd want it so i don't want that and then you are now here
7:45 pm
under the you get it in germany but 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 i have 5 eggs in the morning already. i'm just seeing them a special one. that's hosers the movie when you introduce to save the change see unlike i don't want to describe myself the only thing i can feel. ask anybody this room think. that i do want to know so let me work i mean totally normal guy came from 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 joke 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 to know is. when you came here and you introduced us of us of a normal one and we were sitting in germany and laughing because we knew you and oh
7:46 pm
you know i am 100 percent but if you don't know what i'll be honest i don't know i don't know this is what we need to look at 1st of all and i know that's how it is. life is very often this kind of marketing you have to be on 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 was and will be only 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 i feel 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 them the main dish would be good enough so because of because i have no real english skills apart from i'm not the generation grown up of ok we could have heard a lot of music and learning english by that like my sons that actually but it was not the music i so my english was kind off and at
7:47 pm
a press conference and we all know famous press conference with a lot of my peers and stuff like that 1st time in new york and he don't want to be famous for that problem says the language my niece is not ready. my german is better and i have the. list. understandable english. i'm also a little bit lucky and can even if you know the american look at championships then i said what i said that was not true i wasn't prepared i said normal and that's how i see myself that's not. i don't know how to say it in english but it's not that i did i want people think he things he says is annoying but he knows he's a special and 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'm going to a bit more a little bit more about football than. some other people that's true doesn't make me a special person to whom it was only luck because 500 years ago with that i could have
7:48 pm
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 hawk coaches day work i wrote a lot of work 5 times more than i do and earn 4 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 then through notice at any time that you may be a little more normal misnomer than the others because you are different from the
7:49 pm
other side what am i different from others no i have another skill and it's again pure luck 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 that's true thank you so i'm not absolutely pure gift i know that so is a red light camera i'm not getting nervous. so that keeps me completely calm in a situation where 90 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 not it's a pure time so how could i be proud on a tell it so but in the road out there where the outside view on you is really important it's an important skill. obviously that's an important skill but again
7:50 pm
pure coincidence 500 years ago i would have cliff dance in front of the king probably. and all the rest. again and sleep together history so i know you're a lucky guy 100 percent i've said a couple of times but it's really like that. the director's going to head off my school when i did a level and i want a sports prize for my best friends one science prize and. language prize and i got a spot for us funny so and he said in front of all these other guys who got a lot of them i had with mike in his hand i hope it works all the football because if not i'm really worried about you so i had you know i thought i think the same but i do have to say that now if this everybody can hear it so i will i knew i was lucky. people missed him in germany. the good old days spent dogman surprised europe and german football was top of the heap.
7:51 pm
but what happened to german football since you went away. that's the explanation no but now it's i do it as i would like that. story no it's the it's of course nothing really you went to the media plays you could put it like that. yeah small decision no. nothing really it's just after a long long spell of contesting results big success there's a little dip. in the development that can happen but i saw no a german team playing against holland after. your bit of made 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 on the problems really so. it's always it should be life like this why should always
7:52 pm
the same country win everything why should always the same team we know everything so there are moments when you have a high and moments when you have rather low if you learn of it then everything is fine and that's the real problem in germany and with international football like european the germans see. this discussion we have already for a couple of years in germany always when the teams are not that successful it's a saying. 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 on its own a system it's not like it's not a club all going to station like they have it in germany and that makes life easier than you have just the top 6 in england would be top 6 yes to get a dog and buy in germany as well would be in italy and spain about what a lot of would be in that because it's just so good it's really good football. teams you're here know best not much you know the way you can go you could be like
7:53 pm
the king of money and coach someday in the national team or you could go to clubs like that do you have a picture of yourself in the future no you don't do that no not at all nothing interesting about about maybe. if i think about my future as a future when i stop working oh yeah it has been going is that because that should 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 you know not have that as you know my bench when i'm 70 or something like that everyone is watching really if you stop working on a lot of things that i did look the 1st part of my life was when he had a really good life but the 1st part of my life was i had no money and no time and then i had no money at immediate no time anymore and i have the money but absolutely no time so it means i didn't see anything of the road if i see a city and i see the stadium and the hotel and the street. i drive the bus
7:54 pm
that's it so that's the most precious thing i'm on pretty. pretty famous rather than whole face so i cannot go to a lot of places without signing thousands of autographs what makes this all probably a problem for me because i'm most of the time tie up if i'm not working so but it's like this when i hope for the day when i'm long enough out of the business people don't recognize me the streets anymore and then i go and see the world that's a plan actually to go with the song of the boys and ranch i want to try as they're going to have no problem but that's it. thank you very much but. did you know kick off is now on you tube with the world of football. squad north of mexico. to read we travel the world and really feel how high the face of sound
7:55 pm
right i'm going to say no to start me never people closer and. i am chris here it's. already been going on. is a football kick off on you tube. i can see you. it's not so important people think when you come in it's much more important what people think 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
7:56 pm
7:57 pm
7:58 pm
with different languages we fight for different things that's fine let me all stick up for freedom freedom of speech and freedom of press. giving freedom of choice global news that matters w. made for mines. i don't think that that well i guess sometimes i am but less than nothing when. think stevens or german culture looking at the stereotype question but if you think the future of the country guy not. needed to be taken as drama did you know it's all about a new i might show join me to meet the jetman from d.w.
7:59 pm
