Jurgen Klopp

Product Information

Losing the Champions League is a disappointing season," Richards said. "Liverpool have been incredible but you look at winners, we are talking about the league being special and then the Champions League.

Both clubs have admirably taken steps to ease the simmering tensions in the last 12 months or so but there is little dispute that neither fanbases is, to quote Klopp "best friends" with each other. There are a few areas in the book where more detail would have been interesting. The section on the type of player Klopp looked to sign was very interesting but I would have like more detail on why certain players were signed – what was it about Lewandawski that made Dortmund pull the trigger for example when he was overlooked by other clubs? I know what I thought when I said it, and I thought I put it all into perspective and said how much I respect everything that they’re doing. Then obviously it was still not right for some!" I had decided on the title of the book long before writing down the very first word of it. Because it summarises everything that I wanted to explain: how Klopp’s human touch, faith in the principles of teamwork and true love for fellow human beings created a beautiful working environment. We conceded a goal from a throw-in. (Federico) Valverde wanted to shoot, Vinicius was there and that's it.I could not love this group of players more. I could not appreciate them more. I could not be more proud of them. This achievement is their achievement. Their focus. Their dedication. Their talent. Their hunger. That’s what has delivered this title. They sacrificed, individually and collectively, and they have their rewards. This group of players are giants for what they achieved." This is what I love the most about him. The never give up mentality and the attitude of standing up every time you fall. Because, at the end of the storm, there is a golden sky. Liverpool's English midfielder Jordan Henderson (C) lifts the Premier League trophy during the presentation following the English Premier League football match between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield His man-management, stubbornness and that relentless desire to drive the team and the people around him forward are what define him as a man and as a manager. He ‘gets it’. Many managers in the game are glorified coaches, not Klopp. The changes he made to every club he joined, the eagerness and hunger to drive change and to squeeze the best out of every player, coach, nutritionist, analyst, cleaner and employee in the clubs he has worked at are rarely seen at football in this era of instant success and insatiable fanbases. Liverpool moved up to second courtesy of an impressive defeat of Thomas Frank’s team. Mohamed Salah continued his prolific form with two goals and Klopp said there is much more to come from his new-look side.

I’m a big fan of Raphael Honigstein’s writing – in particular his book Das Reboot. Like his other work, this book is well written, well researched and a very enjoyable read. Ich bin seit über 20 Jahren BVB-Fan und da Jürgen Klopp eine sehr prägende Zeit in der jüngeren Vereinsgeschichte hatte war ich sehr gespannt auf seine erste Biographie, auch wenn ich sonst gar nicht in dem Genre unterwegs bin. Every manager across the division will likely be asked about the situation before the weekend's fixtures and Klopp will be no different. Given the fact that such a punishment has been meted out to the Reds' local rivals, it will add an extra layer of intrigue as to what the manager will say and Klopp has rarely played the straight bat to questions during his time on Merseyside.Even my husband (who is a Liverpool fan) was surprised to know that I read this book on Klopp. I was a bit disappointed when I read at the beginning where the writer mentions that this book is not about Klopp's life but it's about his journey as a football player and then a manager. He said on BBC Radio 5 Live: "After the season that they have had. to have the disappointment of losing out on the league and then this one as well, they [Liverpool] can still be very proud of what they have achieved this season.

It’s also fascinated me how a manager’s character can shape the neutral fan’s perception of a football team. Under previous Liverpool managers (especially Houlier) I found Liverpool quite dis-likable and certainly not a team I would root for. Yet under Klopp its hard not to have a soft spot for the free-flowing Liverpool team that plays in a manner But former Manchester City defender Micah Richards, speaking before the final, said it would be hard not to see failing to win the Champions League as taking the shine off an otherwise impressive campaign for the Reds.

Attack - Jota, Nunez, Salah

Klopp's conviction about their future was apparent in his decision to sign a two-year contract extension last month and while the season has ended in disappointment, there is no sense of the end of a cycle, as there was for Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham when they were beaten by Klopp's side in Madrid in 2019. Klopp: Bring the Noise is a fun and detailed biogrpahy of the most charismatic manager in football – Jurgen “Kloppo” Klopp. Honigstein details the key influences on Klopp’s career including his own limitations as a player and his one-time coach Wolfgang Frank. The rather flat narrative of his team's results means that his poorer performances are never questioned - he stuggled to get Mainz promoted, faltering at the end of the season, and Mainz's relegation is excused as he had to sell some players. Although Dortmund were at a low ebb, they are still a massive German team, and the underdog story was taken a bit too far for a club of Dortmund's resources. That said, he did win the Bundesliga twice, which was an undeniably great achievement, but that doesn't excuse him of any criticism whatsoever. While the Reds complete the campaign with two trophies, Klopp admitted it was too soon for his players to be able appreciate what they have achieved.

Bleeding into questions over Everton's situation might just be the long-term one that continues to engulf Saturday's opponents Man City. Today was about getting through the game and we did,” the Liverpool manager said after his team’s 3-0 win against Brentford. “The boys responded sensationally well. Now they are all gone and we can train once before Manchester City. How can you put a game like this on Saturday at 12.30pm? Honestly, the people making these decisions, they cannot feel football, it is just not possible. And it is the moment where the world pays the most to see a football game. I don’t think anybody wants to be best friends with us. I never heard about that at least. It’s completely normal competition. Again, it started here with a question, I answered it and all the rest was made of it. The book itself is very personal and intimate with lots of interviews from the people at the heart of the life and career of Kloppo. It gives a great insight to the man inside the manager. It is easy to see how he can motivate the teams to go above and beyond.Klopp comes across in the book in the same way he does on TV. He clearly has a huge work ethic and builds a very strong connection with his players. The access that Honigstein had to so many people close to Klopp at different times of his life and career gives a great insight into his tactics and his management. It means if you buy Jordan Henderson Notes on a Season you get Jürgen Klopp Notes on a Season completely FREE! But most importantly, in between the stories the book also brilliantly captures the essence of Jürgen Klopp's tremendous, larger-than-life, personality and the wisdom and intellect that match it. Hence, it is similar with reading books about basketball’s John Wooden or American football’s Vince Lombardy, where we can learn so much more from the great men and from the lessons that they teach us for life outside their respective sports. Terve raamat keskendub sellele, kuidas Klopp suudab teha keskpärastest mängijatest suurepärase meeskonna, aga päris nii see ka ei ole. Võrreldes Liverpooli sellega kui ta tuli ja mis seal praegu on, siis on meeskonnast ikka tohutu hunnik mehi minema transporditud. Seda keskpärasust kiputakse vaatama mängijate hinnasildi järgi, kelle ta sisse tõi (Mane, Salah, Firminho). Mulle endale tundub, et Klopp on üks geniaalsemaid spordiinvestoreid. Tema uudne idee lihtsalt suutis genereerida tulu mängijatelt, kellest tippklubid muidu mööda vaatasid. Suurem jagu tippklubide taktikast keskendus seal 2 või 3 mehe ümber. Real Madrid ratsutas veel ronaldo seljas, Barcelonal oli Messi. Klopp ehitas üles 11 mehest koosnevat sünkroonselt toimivat masinat. Each of the books is a compilation of the columns the Liverpool manager and captain wrote for the official Liverpool FC Matchday Programme during the team's title winning 2019/20 season.
