[@zervalu6313]

I think the most bizarre thing about the reporter's question is that is was posed in German (by, as far as I can tell, a German reporter). My guess is that if an English reporter had asked Klopp in English, he would have felt obliged to reply in English. But with the reporter conveniently asking in German, it would have felt somewhat silly for Klopp to reply in English.

[@sonicsupa99]

Yeah, you can't just speak German and be like "BUT U GOTTA REPLY IN ENGLISH MATE". Like, no... just translate it buddy. Seems like your ability to speak German is quite good so there's literally no reason for a voice over dubbed in English to be done.

It is easy to tell who are the people judging from the comments. They also don’t like it when the tables are turned regarding their, “This is America! Speak English!” comment when they go to other countries and demand that the locals of that country speak English. The key word is “demand”. When politely requesting, that is a different matter.

If he had spoke English, it would have looked totally stupid on German TV, as they always dub over English language with a German voice over. He also hinted he does more than enough questions in England. They'll be having press conferences in Liverpool every time a player farts, soon enough. It was probably a relief/ escape to speak German for a short time.

Totally agree and I'm English. I can speak French pretty fluently still, though it's a long time since I've used it, and I also know Spanish and Italian. I actually feel very lucky to have English as my native language, but I don't feel entitled at all. If I was unable to communicate in another country I would at least learn how to politely ask if anyone could help me by speaking English to help me with their own language.
