First thoughts on That interview ...

Klopp gave a good first impression and the strength of Character Showed That Liverpool fans will hope can be channeled Into The current crop of players.  He Showed an understanding of the city, fans and Expectation That will be placed on him BUT he made ​​it clear That His is own man and will need time to get His ideas across. He reiterated the line about turning "doubters Into believer" That hinting at another time Liverpool and the squad of players are better than at another time Many believe, even, the players themselves. He was steely at times with the press, pointedly Telling the photographers to leave him alone and at one point ticking off a snapper for taking a photo when he was Trying To listen to a question. That kind of bolshiness will go down well on Merseyside. Th efact That he mentioned a timeframe within Which he would hope to win a title was a display of self-confidence. Not Many managers would come to Liverpool and even, dare to put a date on when the title might be won. The description of teh style of football he wanted to see ALSO would go down well with fans. "Full-throttle football" her called it. Sounds is over, something That can not be said of Liverpool's play, barring one half at the Emirates, this season. ALSO He joked about being the 'Normal One'. That went down well and put across the Underlying His lity. All in all, he Came across well.  


A German reader I presume, Hauke ​​Wemken, has kindly translated the German question and answer for me.
Klopp was asked what Had he done the last months, and Ta'if Had he thought about waiting for an offer from Bayern Munich. His reply. He was on holiday Because he hadn't That much time the year before. He Played tennis etc. About Bayern. He does not think in this way. Because he is in Liverpool Liverpool is a cool club.  


Klopp then Talks about how he is not going to Compare himself to Liverpool's illustrious managers of years gone by to give journalists a headline.  He's very keen to put across the message That he's going to start afresh and build something from the bottom down with a squad of he player he can breathe Hopes Into new ideas. And then, as quick as you like, that's that. Klopp is ushered out for read Photographs on the Anfield turf.


Klopp Talks about the squad ...
We have four or five good strikers and midfielders and flexible Defenders work and a good dialup Goalkeeper. You have to bring Teams to your level and then you can kill them.



Jürgen Klopp is asked how he Feels about the move. Is it surreal?  He ntries to send a message to fans at another time -and the press - for patience. He says he would hope to win the title inside four years. I do not think too much about the press. I am just a normal dialup manager Wants to work with the players. I'm prepared. It's crazy what has happened here. It's not so Important what people think when you come in. It's what people think when you leave. Please give us the time to work. This could be very special, IF you're prepared to work for it. We can start in a very difficult league and does it in a very special way Liverpool.

Klopp is asked a question in German and answers in German.  I'm going to struggle with this one. Lots of gesturing and something That sounds like "Dortmund and Liverpool delicious" in response.

Klopp gets stuck Into The press, ala Jeremy Corbyn.  "It would be good IF we could focus on the football and not take So Many Photographs. In my hotel room I can not walk from one side of the room to the other Because of all the cameras. " Silence Enigma That answer. Not So Many laughs. Bit awkward really.



'The Normal One'

A joke!  Klopp is asked Whether he knows how popular he is in England. "I am the normal one," he says with a wry smile. "You can have this. I am just an Average guy from the Black Forest dialup was an Average player. "So modest Jürgen.t


Ian Ayre on the backroom staff ...





Klopp is asked Whether he can handle the pressure of Liverpool having not won the title for 25 years.
It's very Important not to be neighed down by history. Lets not always Compare with other times. This is a great club with players with good potential dialup are flexible. Let's try to start a new way. Now everything is diferent. Here is a German guy, for the first time. I want to Listen. I go to Elwood and I look at what works and what does not work. And then we start to play football very emotional. We can not change the rules of the game. We have to work together and feel Ta'if the team has some problems or not.
