This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

First of all, can I get your reaction to the news at Yuikim Loeb will leave his post as German National Team Manager after the euros.

And obviously your name is again being linked with the job.

So can you tell us now whether or not the summer will be too early in your career to take on that role.

We should ask a question differently.

Will you be, if that's the question we want to ask if I'm available for the job

or for the manager coach of the German national team in the summer no and your reaction to the fact that you're coming to...

And no, oh yeah, oh come on, Yogi Luft did an incredible job for so many years.

I think it's the longest servant ever we had in Germany if I'm right but for sure one of the

most successful so it did an incredible job really and I understand that he wants to have this

highlight for him as a European championship tries to

squeeze everything out what he can in his tournament and then somebody else

will do the job and I'm pretty sure with the amount of really good

German managers in the moment that the German have able to find a good solution.

It won't be as you've said.

It's coming up to a year since she last played in front of full stadiums and obviously that was in the

Champions League against Athletico Madrid.

Obviously you had a couple of tasters

with around 2,000 fans in the stadium since then,

but how would you sum up the impact

that no fans in grounds has had on yourself,

on the players throughout this whole pandemic.
