Klopp is by far away the best thing which has happened to LFC since the times of Shankly and Paisley. Anyone not seeing this must be blind.
Arteta in comparison is just a former player who has had the luck to get to manage a high-level club. I don’t even see how the two can be compared to be honest.
The utter disrespect of one of the greatest managers of this generation, the man who rebuilt clubs to the summit of world football winning almost every trophy available to him to win on shoe string budgets relative to his rivals. Comparing him to a bum like Arteta who was handed a top job on a platter with no credentials or body of work to prove he was good enough, thanks to his contacts and has proceeded to spend a billion pounds with only one FA cup to show for it is beyond insulting to Klopp. Arteta should be getting compared to Brendan Rodgers as he also finished 2nd and wasn’t able to get us over the line.
“But then I tell Pep (Guardiola) — he improved his (golf) handicap with age! I didn’t have a f***ing minute of time to play golf! So that’s why he’s a genius and I am not.”
His voice goes up an octave. “When do you play golf? I cannot believe that.”
Yeah someone spamming off the back of what he said a few days ago, he’s achieved everything so he doesn’t need to prove it to anyone anymore. Probably realised how enjoyable life is, maybe the Jota death has had some effect on him, I know some hate the red bull thing but it allows him to be involved without any high decisions.
I was surprised he went there because of how much Red Bull is loathed in German Football. A wealthy business propping up an otherwise artificial club to serve their marketing interests.
But frankly, I get it. He wanted a job in football that allows him to have a voice without requiring the daily grind, and overseeing multi-club model with global reach means that he’s removed from the day-to-day rigors of each individual club.
The only other option with that kind of structure was, what, Man City? That was never going to happen.
I do dislike RB Leipzig, because then are a “Werbeplattform” (in English: advertisement platform) and he has did not startet in the lower leagues, but in the Oberliga (fifth division) after he did took the place from SSV Markranstädt (a Leipzig suburb club). Nevertheless, i do not hate Jurgen and i like, the fans of LFC honoured Jurgen.
