11:31 am
lead into 2 titles in a rock. i'm an old bit more a little bit more about football than. some other people now normal can someone be who is given the once world beating club liverpool a new lease of life. in this room. and that i do 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 clarke now with kick off life. my old friend and fellow german i haven't met him in years. but he hasn't changed
11:32 am
and i can speak like a waterfall if you speak 3 birds english english because they send over. the top 16 it would be top 6 johnny flynn frame. 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. no we're sitting here and talking english what's the main difference from then to know. i am as least. job changed completely. i was in the mines. in the very beginning responsible for absolutely everything wrong the football team
11:33 am
we had 50 percent highland sporting director. of the club pretty much to decide on 3 was who would be the best way to love the job so if you have to do everything in nobody's really watching it because my know what was interesting minds as i had to learn when i learned the hard way and mean. what i did that time alone i have now i would say nearly 20 or system for so i'm already the manager of the coaching staff and. i could do that because i know what they all are doing because i did it by myself so that made me to. the time when i left. a lot on the stage they said all i am. or what i became. that you had and that's exactly like it is i learned everything and could use that for the rest of my life i was.
11:34 am
well i use they're using the same. here but 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 that much more pressure but 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 for their 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 not there's only black white there's no great color grays disappeared somehow. i was always a pretty calm person that's probably nobody can really match for bed because i
11:35 am
don't quite differently and have been a bunch of bull but we have evolved in a football game it's true. that in normal things of life i'm completely calm and no mean about 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 on how younger than my sons are so and 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 both class but the class potential and my job is to help them to become brady broke last and that's that's the job to do and that's not to date done already 80 percent about football but the last 20 percent can be really decisive and that's my job. in. i don't mind he did
11:36 am
the same he picked young players and his family very successful one. 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 our chest. it depends. it's too important alone 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 you. 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 me it's a pretty experience and i try that players are very often surprised when i meet
11:37 am
them 1st time that we don't talk at all about football because the thing is already done for me because i want to sit here because a very good footballer otherwise it would be waste of time most of them me to. but not good footballers very honest and then asking about our club or whatever so. what are you talking with someone life. god and the good world. what is always possible that it's possible not not really likely to be honest. everybody knows. that i'm really the christian but it's. not. i don't know because you know i'm not that i don't i'm not a person whatever that said it's all just so people live in a free world and they cannot. it's not my mission. talking of living most people in liverpool would see the tide german as a messiah and. probably hasn't been any german before him that english people
11:38 am
adored this much. you can call who is perfect for the people you're cops are doing a good job in. what. they spread it's absolutely true it's. and this season might make dreams come true if liverpool are tight in the race for the league title and are in the champions league semifinal what would be more important fun of a poor 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 i think she was there he willing to turn his league in then suddenly 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 some people that's. very . obvious on so from the people it would be winning the league we have examined
11:39 am
waiting for the law yeah but is it the kind of question people around us are just there to ask people around the stadium if you the prize for winning the league this year would be that you can watch a liverpool game anymore in the stadium or would you say that's my ticket. like 40 years going each home game and field rolled what's a game that shows how much it means so easy is the answer and. but what can we do now we 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 it the motivation both though of course he does a lot to write for last year because it was difficult some of those things always do 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 be
11:40 am
a 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 it still can 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 i'm probably. lost the last 6 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 the god who ever thought i need to show that somebody can lose 6 finals in
11:41 am
a row and still goes to the 7th and i'm the perfect person for that and so it is. i don't know who decided it but. the funny guy. even having lost some fine is he still everybody's darling in england improving germany's image abroad he's now been nominated to become the german football ambassador. that people surprised when i met you and learned that you. i think you heard you're here immediately that i'm from germany that we never get rid of our trauma next and it's as if they did tell us that we have the german is a really hard language and for us it's like the thing which is being slang isn't so soft and i could and never will will be able to speak like that that just not possible so that i'm 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 don't have a lot of good experiences they met some germans here in their madam in the middle
11:42 am
america in france where i would imagine was 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 to be all came closer to each other and be so i'm not sure how many foreign people live in london to be honest it's pretty much like berlin if you speak english and when berlin stood by the language you speak in berlin then german so a lot of that to be honest in london because it was 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 . don't like this barrier of thinking and that while there were other love most about it you would be called 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 sort of the idea when players go abroad but what would your advice be open just be open and be a be
11:43 am
a member learn language as weak as possible it helps a lot so the 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 be distinguished but they are not a lot of drama but what they are able to really nice is if you speak 3 boats 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 helps a lot if you're in for a lot of language has always been helps with socializing and in coming to adults 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 reading a book 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.
11:44 am
you know how to go i stopped drinking coffee. and i mean it would be if you would have asked me. 2 years ago if you want to t.s.a. i'm not in a sari i don't need it so 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 different because his machine and i still can't understand why people think of i had no confidence one a half year so for different reasons but that's only one little thing so i understand it bye bye bye people are doing it to you to have teeth and they call. they call it 40 so it is makes no sense but it's just in the book if you have 40 units of a t. nothing with m.t.v. . but it's so they call it in it's all the 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 100 percent yes yes yes yes yes so it's like this is a full english breakfast you could've offered me in germany 3 times we're going to send 5 times i don't want it so i don't want that and you are now here and if you
11:45 am
get it in jail he think one 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. seen them especially one. that's hoses in moving you introduced to save a child see unlike club i don't want to describe myself the only thing i could. ask anybody in this room think. that i do want to know so let me work i would totally normal guy came from black forest. and my mother maybe sit in front of the television and watch this press conference and said no no. but it's very pro she's very pro so i'm a totally normal guy i'm not normal one maybe if you want. when you came here you introduced us have been normal one and we were sitting in germany and laughing
11:46 am
because we knew you and oh you know i am 100 percent but if you are number one or the other one i don't know i don't know that but what do you look 1st of all and i know that's how it is. life is very often this kind of marketing you have to be your own 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. we all 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 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 course i have no real english skills apart from i'm not the generation grown up of ok we had could have heard a lot of music and learning english by then 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
11:47 am
famous press conference was a lot of my peers and stuff i guess 1st 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 love the. list. understandable english. i'm also a little bit lucky and can be like you know the american look at them then i said what i said i was not that 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 unknown but he knows he's a special know what i would have said like this i'm completely because i think about myself as a completely 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 that doesn't make me a special person to have in me only luck because 500 years ago with that i could
11:48 am
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 hockey coaches they work i work a lot they 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 it not to think them all as i think because it's strange it's just football so. for my how i see me i have a completely normal person and that's what i want to say that day and now it's on a teacup. but didn't notice at any time that you made me a little more normal on misnomer than the others because you are different from the other side what am i different from others no i have another skill and it's again
11:49 am
pure luck i can't. so i can speak like a waterfall. and don't i'm not worrying about what people think that's true 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 going to hurt us. 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 it hard and it will be like this completely not as a pure time so how could i be proud on a tell it so but in the road out there with the outside view on you is really important it's an important skill obviously it's an important skill but again pure coincidence 500 years ago i would have could have dance in front of the king
11:50 am
probably. and all the rest. of the sleeve would go to the street so i know you're a lucky guy 100 percent i've said a couple of times but it's really like that. the directors or the head of my school were going to the 90 day level and i want to sports price for my best friends one science prize and. language wise and i got a spot for us funny 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 if not not i'm really worried about you so i hope you end it and have thought i think the same but i do have to say that now if this is that everybody can hear it so i knew i was lucky. people miss him in germany. the good old days spent dog surprised europe and german football was top of the heap. and what happened to german
11:51 am
football since you went away. that's the explanation no but those it's i only way there's a word like that so sorry no it's not it's of course nothing really you went to the place you could put it like that. yeah smart decision no. nothing really it's just after a long long spell of fantastic results big success there's a little dip. in the development that can happen but i saw no a jumpseat playing against holland after. your bit of money if you would. be honest but it was full of skills full of talent full of you would full of joy and all that stuff was really really good team and. i thought if that's if these are problems then no problems really so. it's always it should be life like this why
11:52 am
should always the same country win everything why should always the same team we know everything so there are moments when you have 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 german city. this discussion we have already for a couple of years in germany always when the teams are not that successful it's the same. we have to admit just in england is more money around that's the truth because of t.v. money so it's a different system it's own the system it's not like it's not a club although a station like we 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 in germany as well would be in italy and spain above about you know they have would be in that because they're just so good just really good football teams you're here no that's not much you wait can go you could be like the king of
11:53 am
germany and coach someday the national team or you could go to play on clubs like that do you have another picture of yourself in the future no you don't do that no not at all nothing found interesting about about maybe. if i think about my future as a future when i stop working oh yeah you know it's going to be his 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 what happened as you know my best when i'm 70 or something like that everybody wants to reveal a piece of ok. a lot of things i mean look the 1st part of my life was only 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 or 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 we drive the bus
11:54 am
that's it so that's the most pressure yeah i am pretty. pretty famous rather than whole face so i cannot go to a lot of places without signing autographs what makes this will probably a problem for me because i'm most of the time tie up if i'm not working so but it's like that's what i hope for today 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 if the boys and branch 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 automatic go. to read we travel the world and really feel how high the face of
11:55 am
sound running i'm going to say no. never people just get football i am pretty serious in. the game. is a football pick up on you cheat. if it's in 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 we'll 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
