Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp laughs off rumours

Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp said he has not held talks with any other clubs as he set his sights on a "full-throttle experience" for his final game in charge at the Westfalenstadion on Saturday.

Klopp, who will leave BVB after the DFB Pokal final at the end of this month, was this week reported to have flown to Istanbul for talks with Fenerbahce -- which the Turkish club denied -- and was later said to have signed a deal to become Real Madrid boss.

Both stories had broken on Twitter, and Klopp laughed off the rumours at his prematch news conference.

"The spirits I have summoned! These days you need to believe everything some idiot posts on Twitter," he told reporters. "I have not been in Istanbul, and I have also not talked to any other clubs."

For now, Klopp is firmly focused on ensuring a positive end to a difficult season that had seen the club in the relegation zone during the winter break.

Dortmund host Werder Bremen in the final round of Bundesliga fixtures this weekend knowing that a draw will be enough to ensure his successor, Thomas Tuchel, will be leading the club into the Europa League next season.

"I want one real BVB home game," Klopp said. "I want one more full-throttle experience!

"The Bremen match is a final. A bad pass should be seen as an invitation to begin the 'Gegenpressing' [the high-pressing style for which Klopp's Dortmund became renowned]. The stadium has to live it."

Dortmund had become established as Champions League regulars during Klopp's seven-year reign, and they were finalists in 2013, but the coach said this season's flirtation with relegation gives them a new perspective on Europe's secondary competition.

"We have played in the Champions League in the past four years, and now everyone can take a look at what has been happening in Europa League," he said. "It's a huge chance to write an outstanding story.

"To understand the Europa League as something big, you need to go through a deep valley. It would mean the world to us to qualify. When we lost to Augsburg, I believed for the first time that it could get really dangerous."

After that 1-0 home defeat to Augsburg on Feb. 4, Dortmund turned around their season, winning eight and drawing three of the next 14 games, with the only defeats coming against high-fliers Bayern Munich, Borussia Monchengladbach and Wolfsburg.

"I am incredibly thankful that we are not involved in this wild battle against relegation," Klopp said. "And the world won't end should we not qualify for Europa League -- it would just be a much nicer place [if they did]."

He has called on Dortmund's famous supporters to give the team the backing they need to secure a positive result against Bremen, who are the only team capable of overtaking them in the table.

"It's a question whether the stadium is full of nostalgia or is in the here and now," Klopp said.

Klopp, who waved the chance of an official send-off prior to the kick-off at the Westfalenstadion, said he would not be bidding farewell to the fans just yet.

"I will say goodbye shortly before I leave," he said.

The Dortmund coach will have most of his players available for the game.

Mats Hummels, who missed last weekend's 2-1 loss at Wolfsburg injured, is back in training, while long-serving goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller -- whose future at the club is still undecided -- will return to the team.

Midfielder Sebastian Kehl seems certain to win one final start for the club before retiring from football at the end of the season.
