Jurgen Klopp was depicted in a satirical float at Mainz's carnival parade, capturing the essence of public sentiment regarding his new role with Red Bull. Critically, the float features Klopp with wings made of banknotes, signifying his controversial association with Red Bull sports, which has faced backlash for allegedly commercializing football. Despite his historical ties with Mainz and Dortmund, Klopp's appointment as global head of soccer at Red Bull has attracted criticism, showcasing the tension between football's traditional values and today's commercialization. The float served as a medium for the public's dissent towards Klopp's perceived betrayal of football values.
"For Kloppo values he no longer cares about, used to matter. Because Red Bull lures with a lot of money, he is now falling off his pedestal with a crash."
"The German played for Mainz then stepped straight into the dugout, leading the club into the Bundesliga for the first time in their history."
"RB Leipzig are often referred to as the 'most hated club in Germany' and have faced regular protests by opposition fans ranging from boycotting games to the arrest of 28 Borussia Dortmund fans for throwing cans and stones at rival supporters in 2017."
"Klopp, who managed 319 games during his time at Dortmund, has faced criticism in his homeland since stepping into his new role."
