The Enthusiasm of Jurgen Klopp
Is there a more excitable figure in football than Jurgen Klopp? Whether his team’s winning, losing, or drawing, the former Borussia Dortmund manager can be found rampantly parading along the touchline as he feels every pass, tackle, header, and shot that’s being seen on the pitch in front of him.
For those who dislike Liverpool, there was an audible groan when it was revealed that Klopp would be taking up residence in the Anfield dugout. That groan? That was one of begrudging admittance that, yes, this could prove to be a masterstroke and a move that sees Liverpool return to their former glory.
Looking at the black and white facts of it all, though, the German has yet to bring any sort of silverware to Anfield. In the modern game, so often a manager is judged on the trophies that are listed on his CV, yet Klopp has managed to win favour with many despite having a reputation of so often being second-best – having lost an FA Cup final, a Europa League final, and a Champions League final during his time at Liverpool.
What Klopp has on his side, however, is that his players all love to play for him. His enthusiasm and passion are unmatched, and it’s those traits that constantly have players lining up to play under Klopp. Following the disappointment of the 2017/2018 season for Liverpool, many managers might have struggled to get their players to bounce back and push on in the following campaign. For Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp, that’s not the case. And if anything, it looks as if the Reds will only be going from strength to strength while Klopp remains at the helm.
