Jurgen Klopp ends interview over Bastian Schweinsteiger's remarks

Jurgen Klopp concluded an interview abruptly in New York after being questioned about Bastian Schweinsteiger's comments on African football. Schweinsteiger characterized the style as 'a bit unorthodox' and 'perhaps also not so conditioned by tactics' during a broadcast for ARD before Germany faced Ivory Coast. Klopp, visibly uncomfortable, declined to engage further, expressing uncertainty about the appropriateness of discussing the topic. Last weekend, Germany defeated Ivory Coast 2-1 and secured their place in the World Cup knockout stage. They aim to continue their winning streak against Ecuador as Ecuador fights to stay in contention.
