trotter Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 He was universally adored at Dortmund as well. If they win the league this season (as I suspect they might) he'll achieve God-like status on Merseyside, and they won't let him leave even if he wanted to. He's the best signing Liverpool have made in about 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJAMBO Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Trust and belief are important in a players mindset his football well being and life style. The standard a man like klopp has access allows him to cherry pick the very best fruit. Its easy to smile for the camera and put on a show the real art and talents lays in the approach and knowing the players footballing / athletic strengths. Players at champions league level are able to cope with the modern world and its multi dymentional systems and media coverage. The hard route are the guys like David Robertson proper man mangers that roast players for the slightest thing right from the off. Klopp has it easy and deserves the luxury I can't say he created it but he certainly took them to their old stature. The mans a genius right enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribble Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 What I like most about him is that he knows his own limitations so ensures that the team around him pick up any shortfalls, remember him bringing in someone to coach throwins? Plus when he brings in new players he only plays them once they have learned how to play his way, Robertson for example hardly kicked a ball during his first 6 months there!

Just humped some bunch of mugs 6-0 and he makes a beeline for one of his young players for the benefit of the cameras, telling them they took a throw in wrong in the 10th minute or something. A guy called Jeff King wrote a great book about Bobby Robson's time as manager at Barça, High Noon. Describing some of the players he says that Guillermo Amor (who ended up at Livi) was a prince amongst men but Pep Guardiola was nice/nasty depending if there were cameras around. That was in 1996/97, looks like he hasn't changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Turn Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Every manager has different styles and as people we’re all different. I think it’s a lot to do with intuition, being able to read people, knowing how far you can push them and knowing how they will react. I think Klopps probably a bit of an amateur psychologist and is also clearly, very intelligent. That’s outside of being the best attacking manager in football. I also think he looks at the type of person he signs, to fit into his group, someone who can improve, like Wijnaldum for example. He's not a Real Madrid or Barca type manager, he’s very much about team work and work ethic first and foremost. Liverpool & Dortmund weren’t jam packed full of great individuals, they were great units and great teams. He’s also very close to the fans and understands their way of life. He knows they work hard to come and watch his teams and wants them to be entertained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, he's like me in my old champ days, takes a good side, usually 2nd or 3rd best, a team with a good history and improves them.

He doesn’t play the “Barca way”. You’ll know this but Liverpool play high press, counter attacking and direct football, they don’t play wee 5 yard passes, a lot of their football is back to front. I’d don’t think he’d suit Italian football either. That’s all defensive and tactical. Maybe Munich but a lot of Germans don’t like Munich. British football & German football are very alike.
