The Club World Cup is in full swing, and 16 teams that advance to the knockout round will make a full effort to make the final championship trophy. However, the outside world has always had some complaints about this competition. Not long ago, German coach Klopp publicly bombarded the Club World Cup in an interview with Le Monde.

The German coach said: "Holding the New Club World Cup is the worst idea in football history. Those who have never participated in the daily affairs of football have come up with such bad ideas from the perspective of interests. Last year there was the Americas Cup and the European Cup, this year there was the Club World Cup, and next year it will hold the World Cup, which means that many players will not be able to get enough physical and mental rest for three consecutive years, which may lead to large-scale player injuries next season. Even if not, then in the World Cup. Later, these problems may also break out in a concentrated manner! "

Klopp also gave an example of NBA players. He said: "A NBA player has about 4 months off every year, but Van Dijk has not had such a long vacation in his entire career. I understand that some clubs can earn a lot in this game, but it should not come at the expense of the players' interests!"

As the former head coach of Liverpool, the topic that cannot be avoided in the interview is naturally the crazy signings of the Reds this summer. Earlier, Liverpool had issued an official announcement, announcing that the 22-year-old German international Werz officially joined the team. According to many foreign media, the Red Army's transfer offer for Werz reached an astonishing 136 million euros. This number also breaks the Premier League team's signing value record set by Chelsea. No one can shake this number for a long time to come.

Klopp was also very surprised by Liverpool's big signings. He said: "There is no doubt that Wiltz is a top player, but it still makes people feel very crazy to spend 136 million euros to introduce him! If he has a few games in Liverpool, the outside world may criticize the players and the team with his value. I once said that if I were asked to pay a transfer fee of 100 million euros for a player, I would definitely choose to leave the team. But the world football world has been changing. You can't just use your youth training players. If you want to maintain the top level, you have to do this sometimes!"

However, Klopp is still very optimistic about Wiltz's future in Liverpool. He firmly believes that this young German international will definitely leave his mark in Liverpool!
