Klopp said: "In an ideal world, it starts on Friday; Friday is super important. We have to make sure that we are really ready and can qualify for the 'final' in Berlin".
Confidence without pressure

He said: "I don't feel any pressure. I've known myself for 59 years and have always tried to do my best. You can't do more than that. I don't doubt myself".
Adidas farewell event
GOAL reported that Klopp recently participated in a farewell event for adidas, which has supplied the national team’s kits for 77 years, and the partnership is set to conclude as Nike prepares to take over the equipment contract next year, ending Germany's residency at the "Homeground" facility in Herzogenaurach.
Adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden said: "No matter what logo you wear, we will support you".
