RB Group CEO Oliver Mintzlaff: If there was any doubt about Jurgen Klopp's influence on RB Leipzig as Red Bull's Global Head of Soccer, his actions during the German Cup semifinal against Stuttgart put it to rest.

Following Leipzig's disappointing 3-1 defeat, the 57-year-old moved swiftly through the interview zone alongside RB technical director Mario Gomez, a former Stuttgart and Bayern Munich striker. Klopp had just visited the defending German Cup winners' locker room, where he delivered a brief speech to the team while interim coach Zsolt Löw attended the official press conference.

Though Klopp avoided making public statements, TV cameras captured his reactions throughout the match. Leow later recounted his speech: "He spoke about the positive things and the team's on-pitch improvements." Reports suggest Klopp encouraged the squad, highlighting their resilience and tactical progress, reports Xinhua.
