The end of a tournament is a good time to pause.

I would not deny that to work as a club coach could be fun.

I have faith in all my players.

You need to be able to deal with pressure while on the ball and not keep giving it away in easy situations.

You need to receive the ball and be assertive with it.

For us to reach the Euro 2008 final was a success.

I don't say anything about referees' decisions, you have to accept them.

I am coach of the Germany national team and there are not many jobs in the world which are better than this.

You can learn a lot from setbacks.

Everybody wants to have the ball and be perfect with it.

Every player has his own strengths and weaknesses and has to be integrated into a team.

There are things you can learn about certain players while watching them in action in a friendly.

If players from our national team are playing in the Bundesliga, it for me shows that it is at least as strong and attractive as the Premier League or La Liga.

Even before the World Cup in 2010 I had said that there were no world champions who aim to stifle the opposition's play and somehow hope to win. These teams do not go far.

One can not win titles with result-orientated football anymore and this has been clear to me since 2008.

As a coach, of course I favour competition.

You need superhuman performances at the World Cup.

Everyone who knows us knows how we always encourage players to speak out, to be open and honest, to be critical. These things are very important to us.

Real Madrid are an interesting club for any manager.

I know lots of Korean players, Heung-Min Son from Tottenham Hotspur of course, there are also lots in the Bundesliga. They have a great mentality and are very quick.

Gotze is a miracle boy, a boy wonder. He can play any position up front.

I said to Gotze: 'OK, show the world you are better than Messi and can decide the World Cup.' I told him that. I always had a good feeling about Gotze.

You cannot let him out of your sight, literally. You've always got to ask: 'what's Ronaldo doing, where is Ronaldo?'

I can see exactly why Liverpool want Klopp.
