Jurgen Nobert Klopp. That's the post!

avatar
(Edited)

This German has been making a good name for himself and pushing Liverpool Football club to glory. I always remember how he promised to change us from doubters to believers when he first joined Liverpool in 2015. Back then, I was still struggling with academics at University so, I didn't have the time to be a football fan. I started watching club football in 2017 and this man has truly delivered on his promise.

We are all believers. In Klopp we trust and we fully stand with him in all his tactical decisions at the club. He also deserves every piece of respect he is getting from the fans, the management crew, the players and the footballing world as a whole. He is currently in the running for the first-ever quadruple in the history of English football. He goes one game at a time and we love the man. The man is a legend.


Klopp's Effect is felt in our starting XI

When the man joined, he had a starting XI of Mignolet (GK), Clyne (RB), Skrtel (CB), Sakho (CB), Moreno (LB), Lucas (DM), Emre Can (DM), Coutinho (AM), Milner (LW), Lallana (RW), Origi (CF).

Now, he is currently working with Trent (RB), Virgil (CB), Konate (CB), Matip (CB), Robbo (LB), Fabinho (DM), Thiago (AM), Hendo (CM), Keita (CM), Salah (RW), Mane (LW), Diaz (LW), Bobby (CF), Jota (CF)... Plus a bunch of quality players who are yet to cement a place in the starting XI.

What you see above would be very confusing if you don't know a lot about football. Those that are well informed about the game will easily spot the difference in the quality of the team and how we've been able to improve since Jurgen took over.

The man's footballing philosophy is electric and fun to watch. It is called Gegenpressing (german for Counterpressing) and he has been able to build a team that presses with intent. To give proper courtesy to the playing style of his team, I will be writing on 'gegenpressing' in the nearest future. Hehe.


The problem we all saw

Jurgen's contract with Liverpool is supposed to expire in 2024 and he has said on several occasions that he would take a break from coaching to get a much-needed rest. Whenever we see what he is doing with Liverpool, we get excited and we all laud his effort. I for one, can't speak enough of how much I appreciate having him as our gaffer.

But, he is meant to leave in 2024 and it will send tears down our cheeks. Where on Earth can we find someone as charismatic as Jurgen? We have great respect for him and we want him to stay and do more for Liverpool. We want more of him. It truly would be terrible to see him leave in 2024.


Finally!

Jurgen Nobert Klopp did it. He just extended his contract with Liverpool. He will be staying with us till 2026. Wow!

First and foremost, thank you Ulla (Jurgen's wife) for playing a big part in this decision. According to Jurgen, Ulla asked, "are we gonna leave these people in 2024? Is that realistic?".

His family turned out to be a big factor that played out in his decision to extend his contract with us. It's always like that with those in his line of business. The job can take them anywhere but whenever they are in a place that suits them and their family enjoys it, then there is always a chance of extending their stay.

You need to see the terms of the contract. Wow! A lot will be happening within the next 4 years. The man has the license, and backing of the club management, to bid for players he wants to bring to Liverpool. I'm so glad!


My reaction to this news

I first saw the update on Twitter. Jurgen Nobert Klopp was trending and we didn't play any game yesterday so, I was very curious to know what's up. Hehe. The first set of tweets I saw was from some pundits and Twitter influencers. For me, most of them are not reliable so, I didn't take their words for it.

Then, I went to check my notification. I got a couple of buzzes from Liverpool Fc's Twitter page. Lo and behold, the Twitter page was filled with multiple video clips and tweets about 'the man'. It was unbelievable!

My instant reaction was priceless. I love the man! Let's rule Europe 😋.

I have no doubt about his staying because he is enjoying it and he has talented group of players with him. He has been there for a long time and stamped his signature while the Anfield crowd loves him. Good to see him extend for another 2 years.

Exactly. The man has been doing well and I feel that he has reached a stage where he can enjoy the fruit of his effort because he currently has a team that has adapted to his playing style and his tactical approach sinks in.

This contract extension is a joyful thing. I hope he really gets to enjoy his remaining years and bow out as one of the legendary managers that ever did the job in Anfield.

Thanks for your input on this.

He has done the impossible for a long time for Liverpool. He would always go down as one of the best in their history.

He's indeed a coach to hold on to, a great asset to the football world..
A coach who knows the necessary positions that are deficient and needs to be signed

Bro... It was a good move to have him extend his stay. With the current players we have and the ones we want to get, I'm sure he will win more laurels during his time with us.

Another notable thing is that all his coaching crew also renewed their contract

I think that he is creating an era everybody will remember. I really hope that he finds the right time to step back. If he manages to find the perfect exit point he will be a true legend! What my fantasy is that his succesor would be Stevie G. That would be a dream come true :D

Yeah. It would be really nice to have Stevie but I'm not sure it would happen as soon as Jurgen steps out.

I just noticed from this tactical analysis that Liverpool have been training on the same style of play for 4 years, every single training day.

If we are still blessed with a very decent team and want to continue in this Gegenpressing style, it may be better to have Pep (Klopp's current assistant) to take over the managerial role. Haha. Many would laugh at this, but as much as I like what Gerrard is doing at Aston Villa and what he has done in his coaching career, I also admire the role of Pep in this current playing style we see from Liverpool.

A lot will be happening in the future. I'm currently watching Jurgen's Pre-match conference for the game we have tomorrow. The man is electric.

Thanks for the comment. !PIZZA

haha that is funny that his assistant's name is Pep :D
I am sure that if you want to continue the same play style you will need a similar coach, but you dont knwo how the game will evolve. Many thought that (original) Pep's TikiTaka is unbeatable, but once the players got older the football shifted towards other systems and styles. While Gegenpressing is very efficient right now, football will certainly evolve again :)

Yeah. That's a fact. The name Pep surely rings a bell. Hahah. If only this Pep can get to be at the level of the original Pep.

We are up for more thrilling display and show of tactical smartness as this game evolves. I'm already watching out for Ten Hag and what he will bring to Man United. To be fair, It will be nice to see beautiful football from top teams in England. That will make the league more thrilling. Hehe.

This man's charisma is top notch, and his coaching and man management skills are world class. Good to know he'll be sticking around the EPL a little longer.
But then I can't help the nostalgic feeling of jealousy

Hahah... That nostalgic feeling is mutual from all rival fans but it will always be nice to have him around since the likes of Kloop and Pep can set the standard so high. Hehe.

Next couple of seasons would be thrilling for English football. Haha. !PIZZA

Hahahaha.. Definitely, we just can't help the feeling. And yeah, with him and Pep the EPL will only get better. I hope the other teams can spring up surprises though, cos that's where the real fun lies

Exactly. That's why I'm hoping that Man U will fix themselves up with the prescence of Eric Ten Hag. It will be mahd fun

Seeing Villareal get two last night. I think Liverpool will want to play Man City, we all know Real Madrid will concede goals to anyone, but I think they would score more against Liverpool that City would. Great achievement whatever happens this season!

Man, it's a very dicey situation at the moment because both Man City and Real Madrid are formidable opponents.

I can't settle for any of them at the moment. Haha. Let's see how their game will turn out for the day.
