Mohya reveals “cool guy” Klopp led him to pick Germany over Morocco

The 17-year-old Gladbach star was swayed towards representing the DFB-elf instead of Morocco thanks to Jürgen Klopp.

Wael Mohya has revealed that DFB head coach Jürgen Klopp was the reason behind his decision to represent Germany over Morocco.

“Morocco have made no secret of their interest in having me represent them,” Mohya was quoted as saying by Sport BILD.

“However, my parents are from there, so the country is part of my family, and I have huge respect for it.

“But the way Jürgen Klopp spoke to me meant I didn’t have to think twice about whether to accept this call-up.

“He [Klopp] convinced me with what he had to say, and then I immediately realised what a really cool guy he is.

“I’m looking forward to spending the coming period with him on the pitch, and I’m convinced that he will help me improve as well,” he added.

Mohya was left out of the DFB squad which beat Serbia 3-1 but could potentially make his debut against the Netherlands on Monday.
