Jurgen Klinsmann

The young generation has a different curiosity that is more visual.

The player can only compete with the best internationally when they've committed themselves to this goal. They have to be properly supported until that point.

The '54 World Cup was the first time the people got the recognition back after the second World War and felt like they are proud of something you know it brought people back together and you know now we can keep our heads up again.

And then '74 as I mentioned and then the 1990 world cup was our team was the team of the reunification you know, so we were the team for both sides of Germany so now, you know throughout the last 16 years, we've melted together. And now comes the next milestone.

We can only win by giving everything and being ready to defeat the adversary with fiery aggression.

I had to delegate authority to the people on my staff. That means you shave away the hierarchy.

Personally, I need a high level of physical fitness in order to feel at ease.

We want to start them thinking that they're responsible for their own career.

In 16, 17 years as a pro I was used to the head coach doing it alone. He might have asked his people for advice, but he made the decisions on his own. In order to learn quickly I couldn't do that.

As far as knowledge goes I've come a long way.

You have to work more than your adversary.

Once the World Cup preparations begin there will hardly be an opportunity to do so, since we'll have to put all our energy into the team. We coaches have a list of priorities and dealing with the media isn't in the top five.
