Jurgen Klopp has admitted that it didn’t take him long to fall in love with Liverpool.
The German arrived to replace Brendan Rodgers almost a year ago now, and has had some real good times at Anfield already. He’s reached 2 cup finals and acheived some seriously good results.
And Klopp has taken to his surroundings with ease and is already building a formidable relationship with the supporters.
They love him and he loves them back.
Klopp explained: “Without being the most confident person in the world, I think I am the right person for Liverpool.
“I can’t score goals and I can’t make saves. I am not saying I am the best manager in the world, either.
“But I’m quite good and I am one of those managers who is really interested in structure.
“I don’t sleep too long. Here is a moment when the club needs consistency in this chair—they need the right person and I am the right person, because most of the time I am really serious, but normal.
“I am not saying there was no-one else around. The club would have found another manager, and I would have found another job—maybe an easier job.
“But I liked this club before I came here. It wasn’t a big decision for me.
“It was the only club that could have broken up my holiday. I had enough offers, I was saying ‘no, no, sorry, not now…’.
“Then came Liverpool. And I know how this sounds, and what people will say, but I fell in love.”
