Liverpool: Klopp and Fowler are the dream team
Franz Beckenbauer says Liverpool must got for Jürgen Klopp as Brendan Rodgers’ replacement. Says Beckenbauer:
“He is fantastic. He is one of the best coaches I know in the whole world, and he was really a milestone for Borussia Dortmund. He took over the club and made them into a world-class team. If Liverpool has the chance to sign Jürgen Klopp then they should do it. He likes to talk. There are not many coaches left in the world that like to talk so much to the players but he is one of them. Liverpool is also one of the biggest clubs in the world, so Liverpool and Jürgen Klopp is definitely a good combination. He is also a winner.”
Why would Beckenbauer, a stalwart at Bayern Munich, be praising Klopp? This is what Klopp had to say about Bayern:
“Bayern go about football in the same way that the Chinese go about industry. They look at what the others are doing, and then they copy it with other people and more money.”
Meanwhile, Robbie Fower, the former Liverpool ‘God’, wants to be part of the new regime. He says:
“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t interested. If a new manager comes in I’d love to be part of the backroom staff. Liverpool is a massive part of my life; if that was to be the case then I would absolutely love that. My personal view on Klopp is that he is a very good manager. I don’t know him, I’ve never met him, but looking at it from the outside I was impressed with his performances over in Germany with Dortmund. I like what I see.”
When at Dortmund, Klopp set out his vision for gegenpressing – the way his teams hunt the ball in groups:
“The fans should not only recognise us from our black-and-yellow shirts. Even if we were playing in red, everyone in the stadium should think: ‘Woah! That can only be Dortmund’.”
Liverpool soon-to-be-twinned with Dortmund. Sounds exciting.
