Jurgen Klopp walked out of an interview with a broadcaster after being asked about former Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger’s description of African football as “wild” and “unorthodox”.Schweinteiger, who spent 17 seasons with Bayern Munich, commented on Ivory Coast’s style of play before their loss to Germany in Toronto last week on German broadcaster ARD, saying the side played “African football” which was “a bit wild, a bit unorthodox and a bit perhaps not so conditioned by tactics”.The comment drew criticism from many in the pundit’s home country, including German journalist Philipp Awounou who said in Spiegel that the description had “racist, colonial roots” as black people of African heritage have historically been “stigmatised as uncivilised, different and potentially dangerous”.Awounou said he does not believe Schweinsteiger is racist and shouldn’t be labeled as such, but suggested his comments reflect the opinion of many Germany fans.Schweinsteiger is working as a pundit (Alexander Hassenstein/Getty Images)The Athletic has approached Schweinsteiger’s representatives and ARD for comment.Former Liverpool head coach Klopp, who is working with broadcaster Magenta for the World Cup, was asked about the comment by Deutsche Welle on Wednesday but refused to comment on the topic and instead walked away.
