Jürgen Klopp has sharply criticized FIFA's expanded Club World Cup, even in his new role in the RB cosmos. "I don't like it. It's useless. Whoever wins the tournament is the poorest winner of all time, because they have to play through the whole summer," said the 57-year-old at his presentation in Hangar-7 at Salzburg Airport. From June 15 to July 13, the Club World Cup will be held for the first time with 32 teams, including the two German representatives Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.
For Klopp, the strain on the top players is already too high and there are many injuries in European soccer. "We have to reduce the number of games," he demanded. There are other great sports to watch, he said. "Football doesn't have to fill every gap."
