This is not the case at all. Outrage and incomprehension: these are the two words that quickly come up when we observe our neighbors’ media. “Football romance is long dead”notably launches De Spiegel. “Klopp introduced himself to Liverpool as ‘The Normal One’, unlike ‘The Special One’, Mourinho, which earned him praise. Today, many believe he embraced what is common in this industry: follow the money This news caused great uneasiness among fans.continued Der Spiegel.
In his editorial today, Marcus Krämer believes that the multinational Red Bull is “considered synonymous with evil in football. There is great indignation and even greater absurdities”he laments.
The most hated club in Germany
In fact, Red Bull is indeed considered a football multinational since it controls RB Leipzig in Germany, Red Bull Salzburg plus FC Liefering in Austria, New York Red Bull in MLS and Red Bull Bragantino in Brazil.
Among our neighbors, RB Leipzig is also considered the most hated club in the country. Very often compared to PSG, this formation would distort the championship while its player trading model would have to be combatted. For some, it is even an ideological war since the banners of opposing supporters very often adorn Bundesliga stadiums. Sometimes even to the point of excess. In the spring, the club’s pitch was coated with citric acid during a championship match against Heidenheim.
What is behind Jürgen Klopp’s arrival at Red Bull?
We are a long way from the clubs steeped in history that the coach has taken over like Mainz, Dortmund and obviously Liverpool.
“A simple stooge at Red Bull”
For its part, the T-Online website believes that Jürgen Klopp “destroyed his own monument in seconds”. Before continuing: “Signing with Red Bull crumbles his facade and torpedoes everything his fans believe he stands for. In their eyes, Klopp would be making a deal with the devil. Jürgen Klopp has now sold out and completely thrown overboard his previously unquestioned authenticity, probably for a lot of money The image of a charismatic figure of German football has been seriously damaged. He leaves the country’s football fans, many of whom admired him, stunned. This man who perhaps doesn’t love football as much as he always claimed.”
Finally, the journalist from the Münchner Merkur, Günter Klein, also went very far in his comments. ‘Klopp is as fake as his teeth’he said. “He said he would always vote left, joining a company whose media activities have contributed significantly to the rise of the right. […] At some point Klopp will realize that Global Head of Soccer is a fantastic title, that there is no urgent work to be done and that he is just a publicity foil for Red Bull.”
