NEW YORK \u2014 World Cup pundit and former Liverpool coach J\u00fcrgen Klopp broke off an interview after being asked about former Germany player Bastian Schweinsteiger\u2019s characterizations about the Ivory Coast\u2019s team\u2019s style of play.<\/p>

\u201cA bit African football, a bit unorthodox, a bit wild, a bit perhaps also not so conditioned by tactics. We have to be prepared for it to be unpredictable,\u201d Schweinsteiger said as a commentator on German broadcaster ARD before Germany played Ivory Coast last weekend.<\/p>\n

Klopp, who\u2019s working for broadcaster Magenta, seemed taken aback when asked about Schweinsteiger\u2019s comments by Deutsche Welle in a huddle with journalists in New York on Wednesday.<\/p>

\u201cNow you want to carry on the subject,\u201d Klopp responded. \u201cNo, no, I have no chance. I have no chance to answer this question. Everybody likes it so you bring me in this situation. It\u2019s not my job that everybody likes it, but this is a serious subject, and I don\u2019t even know what is appropriate to say. For African people it\u2019s one thing, for other people it\u2019s another thing, and I\u2019m not here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Klopp said he had felt fortunate to avoid the subject.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank God, I thought, nobody asked me about that. You found a moment. And surprisingly, you are German. That surprised me so much,\u201d he said with irony before leaving.<\/p>
