Klopp's joke to interpreter steals spotlight before Greece match

t-online.de (German) —

Germany coach Jürgen Klopp caused a stir at a press conference in Thessaloniki when he joked to an interpreter, "I have no idea what you said," drawing attention ahead of the Nations League match against Greece. The interpreter translated answers from Klopp and midfielder Aleksandar Pavlović for Greek journalists, but not simultaneously, causing delays. Klopp watched with amusement and later joined applause for her work, initiated by DFB press chief Franziska Wülle. Klopp has a history of quirky interpreter interactions, including correcting a mistranslation in 2019 and joking about a translator's "erotic voice" at another press conference.
