After 30 years…

He has an opinion and does not hesitate to say it in public, he has humor and does not hesitate to make fun of himself, he has a strong personality and he does not need to show it, he also has knowledge, a lot of knowledge about football. And he has something else that is hard to put into words… As if he was born to be loved! They loved him to the point of worship in Mainz and 20.000 people adored him in the last game he coached the team in 2008, rhythmically shouting his name to him say goodbye.

He was passionately loved in Dortmund and when in 2015 he announced that he was leaving after seven years to take over my team Liverpool, not only did they not hold a grudge against him, but they gave him an unforgettable night when the 80.000-seat Westfalen stadium began he applauds him and he finds himself in the middle of the field, looking at the matrix like a loser, the video that the German team had prepared for him to express his gratitude for his offer and to say his "goodbye". There, in the semi-darkness of the extinguished spotlights of the stadium, he showed another aspect of himself… That he tries in an awkward and completely failed way to hide his tears!

He is the one who does not hesitate at every opportunity to blast the EU's neoliberal turn, to speak openly about Africa, about the Amazon, about the dictatorship of the media, and he is also the one who when asked in a press conference what irritates him unbearably , he answered seeing some people consider football so important, at a time when people are starving to death.

And last but not least, the first training session of the team after the quarantine, he asked his players to kneel in the middle of the field, in protest of the assassination of George Floyd and in support of the protesters in the United States and the Black Movement. Lives Matter. ”He can talk with the same ease about Goethe, Shakespeare and the goal scored by Garrinza at the 1962 World Cup.

With a presentation reminiscent of a professor of English literature at a progressive university in New York, but also with sudden outbursts during the race, reminiscent of a fan on a provincial team podium, the 53-year-old German from Stuttgart is a mixture of bohemian and ballad-minded!

Fate wanted to lead my team first to the top of Europe by winning the Champions League last year and then to the top of England by winning the championship this year. Tell the world… We are Liverpool, Champions of England! We have been waiting for thirty years now and I hope we never have to say goodbye to him, as happened in his two previous teams.

His name is Jκrgen Klopp and now his name can be placed in the same golden font next to those of Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley.

You'll Never Walk Alone Beloved Jürgen!
