  Seems to be a major event (I'm not into soccer much)

  "I'm the normal one" he told the fans, and:

  "I'm Oh eight fifteen"

  Does anybody know (without internet recherche) what this means?

  ! Germans excluded !

  It was a dig at Jose Mourinho (the Chelsea manager) Jose calls himself "the special one"

  alosso:

  "I'm Oh eight fifteen"

  No idea...lol

  Maybe it's easier in the regular writing:

  08/15

  (don't peek at google etc.!)

  The topic of my student’s essay was the importance of trust, camaraderie, and toughness among football 
players. “After all,” he wrote, “you don’t want a bunch of pre-Madonnas out there on the field.”

  Basically, 08/15 is used in German to describe something usual, run-of-the-mill.Thus, the two quotes of Mr. Klopp basically have the same meaning.

  But, where does it come from? A clue:

  It refers to the years 1908 and 1915 and stands in conjunction to WWI (and WWII).

  Hi

  From Urban Dictionary:

  This slang comes from the German military. The 08/15 was a standard Machine Riffle, that was first produced in 1908 and later modified.
  It was the first standardized industrial product and the birth of the German DIN (=German Industrial Standard).
  The soldiers didn't like it very well, so it became a slang for something that is very common.
