Jurgen Klopp quotes

"We can defend better, we can attack better, we can create better, we can have a better balance in the game - there are a lot of things to improve.

It’s no problem, that’s the job. Otherwise we could have a holiday all week and just meet Saturday or Sunday for the game."

“We cannot play with four strikers, if you have an idea how we can do this, plus defending, come to me, tell me!”

Speaking about the criticism directed towards Karius for his blunders at Bournemouth:

“There’s no perfect recipe for development—but closing your ears helps. I’m quite good at this, hopefully he can adapt to my skills!”


(makes me still laugh, this one… :laughing:)

“My life goal is to make Jose smile.”

“I have been here long enough now to know in the history of Liverpool, key players have left before – but the club always goes on. You cannot transfer the heart and soul of Liverpool Football Club, although I am sure there are many clubs who would like to buy it.”

Interviewer: “You’ve played 3 games and haven’t even conceded a goal and you’re top of the league - what are you going to tell me? It doesn’t matter?”

Jurgen: “Well if you stop the league tomorrow then we will start celebrating.”

I am German, so I don’t like it. But I have to remember that he is Brazilian.

“My son sent me a video this morning and it showed coaches freaking out. Trapattoni was there and I was in the video three times."

“Very smart people say, 'If you’d won at Leicester you’d be champions’ and stuff like this but it’s all bullshit. Only weak people and idiots bring something like this up.”

“This is our first time trying to be champion, not the last time. Last season, we were 25 points behind. It’s all good and we will carry on. At the end, only one team will be the champion. We don’t need to summarise the season. If we win it, we win it. If we don’t there are no regrets as long as we give our best, and that’s what we’ve done all season.”

(Spring 2019, while locked in an unrelenting battle for the league with Man Cheaty.)

“It was not like I saw Bobby Firmino’s teeth and said ‘I. Want. Them!’.”
