Jürgen Klinsmann

For me, and I met him then obviously with Inter Milan, Napoli, we played

Many times in Argentina, Germany became a bit of a rivalry.

And for me, he was always an artist that couldn't control his brain.

So he was always chasing his own brain, you know, because his thoughts were always ahead of time.

On the field, that means he saw things ahead of time.

Before he got the ball, he knew already where this ball needs to go, who he needs to feed, what he needs to do.

He knew exactly...

He had a 360-degree vision.

He knew where the goalkeeper was.

So when he knew he was 10 yards out of the line, then he chipped the ball.

And I saw this.

It witnessed it in all these games.

But I think then off the field, obviously his brain becomes his biggest struggle because then drugs came into his life.

And when he came to Napoli...

you know, nobody couldn't believe it, that he actually comes to one of the places in Italy where, you know, it's not Juventus, it's not Inter, it's not AC Milan, it's not AS Roma, which was kind of still a big number.

It's Southern Italy, it's Napoli, and Napoli is a completely different world.

Even for the Italians, you can talk to the Northern Italians, Southern Italians, but Napoli is its own place and... Like Liverpool for us.

But absolutely fascinating.

And he became a child of Napoli.

But he said, this is my place.
