Summit at JFK Airport: DFB and Jürgen Klopp come closer to each other, but criticism is also loud

The article reports on a high-level meeting between German Football Association (DFB) president Bernd Neuendorf and potential new national team coach Jürgen Klopp at JFK Airport in New York. The meeting, which lasted four hours, appears to be moving closer to an agreement, with Klopp already being strongly positioned due to his prior commitment and support from the DFB. However, there is criticism from fans and former players regarding Klopp's association with Red Bull, particularly concerns over commercial interests influencing football. Critics argue that this partnership represents a 'kniefall vor dem Kapital' (a knee to capital) and could compromise the integrity of German football. Some traditionalists view the deal as a pact with the devil, while former DFB President Theo Zwanziger has expressed doubts about having a coach associated with the Austrian company.
