Klopp hopes Sturridge ‘doesn’t kick me from behind’


Jurgen Klopp has explained that he understands Daniel Sturridge’s angry reaction to being substituted against Tottenham.

Liverpool striker Sturridge started the 1-1 draw against Spurs on Saturday, but failed to convert any of his chances and cut a frustrated figure throughout.

Manager Klopp substituted the England international after 72 minutes at Anfield, with Sturridge reacting rather angrily to being hauled off. Doesn’t every player when they are removed from a game they feel they can change?

Klopp defended his striker after the reaction, stating that he was happy Sturridge wanted to stay on.

“I think that’s completely normal, especially with the quality of Daniel Sturridge,” Klopp said. “He has to think ‘leave me on the pitch and I can decide the game’.

“That’s true, but in this moment we need other help in the game. We needed ways behind the line. We needed Divock’s physical strength so I changed.

“I could have changed Adam Lallana and gone with two strikers. But in my opinion, and only my opinion counts, it didn’t make sense so that’s it.

“I saw that he was not happy because I’m not blind,” Klopp added. “But that’s not a problem because if he came off and [celebrated] something would be really wrong.

“You cannot play football with this confidence when you are like we are. You have to think ‘yes, I’m the best’.

“I like this – as long as he doesn’t come off the pitch and do something really strange like kicking me from behind.”

'You can throw your plan in the purple bin'

"The supporters moaning about corners is a waste of time. The corner has been taken and we know it was shit."

Reporter: "You're one step closer to the trophy and CL"
Klopp: "Please don't ask me about this shit."

[Kovai Red]

"The supporters moaning about corners is a waste of time. The corner has been taken and we know it was shit."

This is the one that stands out. Shows the character of the man. Dont dwell on things that are done, move on to next target. Applies to many things from fans to players

I love this quote - it's just brilliant. There's probably some German context missing from it, but I don't want to know it because it sounds better without it.

Wheelie bins in Liverpool are purple.

(1:15) After the Villarreal loss: "My first thinking when everybody was celebrating around me was, I thought, 'Sorry, it's not over. You still have to come to Anfield too.' So...we will be ready."

(5:24)Funny part, same interview. You hear a journalist ask him a long question in Spanish. You hear 'Anfield' in the middle of it. Klopp cuts him off:

"Completely different game." (everyone chuckles) "I'm not sure about your question but I hope you asked what I want to answer!" (everyone laughs as Klopps points to translator. Translator confirms the question was about what type of game to expect at Anfield. Klopp shakes his fists in delight) "Yes!!" (everyone laughs) "Completely different game! Looking forward to Anfield."

Klopp on title ambitions:

"I don't want to be sit here in twenty years and no (title)... I want be here in four years and we have won title once, yes."
"If not maybe (I will take) the next (Job) in Switzerland" 

On his first day at the press conference, he spoke about a possible future Swiss job ......

is there anything this fella can't do or doesn't see ?

So glad Ken found his app. Just dragged it into the wrong folder in the end.

I just laughed so much tears are streaming out

Same press conference:

"I would not be like him one second in my life, and he's a great manager"

"Against Villarreal in the first half hour I have not seen this often from a team. It was pure power.

[McrRed]

Not a quote but a paraphrase from a recent presser: "Come to Liverpool for Anfield Nights? Actually I came because I thought they had a really good squad!"

[mersey_paradiso]

“I liked this club long before I came here, now I love it,” he says. “I don’t think it’s coincidence, just another lucky decision in my life. I was taking a break from football because I needed one, but when Liverpool called I was on fire.

“I have not been disappointed. In fact it is funny, because there are only two clubs in Germany that have You’ll Never Walk Alone as an anthem. Mainz and Dortmund, my previous two clubs. I don’t know why that is but it is true. Now I am here. Maybe that is the story of my life. I never wanted to walk alone.”



https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/may/14/jurgen-klopp-liverpool-europa-league-final-sevilla-basel

[mersey_paradiso]

On the miracle that was Istanbul :

“It was something like a wonder,” Klopp says. “Being 3-0 down and coming all the way back is maybe the biggest show of character in football history, something you do not normally see in a final. When you reach a final you want to live up to expectations, you want to work and you want to be in the best shape, not to go 3-0 down in the first half. That kills dreams usually.”


Being an inspirational, motivational type of manager, Klopp admits to having tapped into the Istanbul spirit in his team talks in Germany in the past, offering it as an example of indefatigability in never admitting defeat. “I have used a lot of things in my life that helped me stay in the race or be more confident in difficult situations, and for sure this was one,” he says. “I have definitely used it in team meetings. But then again, I have used Rocky Balboa a lot of times as well.”


Fact and fiction often seem to blend when Klopp becomes animated, but the truth is that the Rocky character is not such a knockout with footballers any more. “I must have seen it about 20 times and mentioned it just as often, but I still remember the last time I tried it,” he recalls.

“I was trying to prepare Dortmund for a meeting with Bayern and I started talking about Rocky Balboa. Suddenly I could sense I was looking at dead eyes, so I asked who had heard of Rocky Balboa. Only two people had. So now I can’t use it any more. Footballers are too young.”

    Brilliant.  Fits perfectly, well done lad.

"I think Sturridge will be back soon -- but soon is relative and I actually don't know. "

I think I'm going to start using that one at work.

Does your boss know who Daniel Sturridge is   

[SerbianScouser]

“What are you doing here?” Klopp asked.

“Speaking about you!” Lallana said.

“Ask him if he knows when Spurs start pre-season training?” Klopp joked in a reference to recent speculation linking the England international with a summer move to White Hart Lane.

“Too late, we have already spoken about that,” Lallana responded.

“I asked him and he said July 1,” Klopp said before descending into laughter.

“I thought you were being serious,” Lallana insisted.

“Are you crazy!” Klopp added before heading back out the door.

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Time to Gegenpress fellas!!!!

[TheWalrus]

Lallana on Klopp before the league cup final:

“I remember it vividly. In the team meeting he said: 'This will be the first of many finals we will have together'. The way he said it, the words he used, you just believed there would be more finals whether it was this year or next year or whenever. Three months later we are in another cup final. It just shows you his confidence and self-belief and I think that rubs off on the lads, sub-consciously or not. 'The first of many finals', he said, and it just stuck in my mind from the moment he said it.

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

“Two hours ago you all felt shit. Now hopefully you all feel better. This is just the start for us. We will play in many more finals.”

The Liverpool manager then proceeded to start singing ‘We are Liverpool, tra-la-la-la-la!’, a song popularised by supporters during the club’s title challenge during the 2013/14 season and had his players join in."

Does anyone have the video of that montage about LFC and Klopp talking over it, saying a lot of the things he said in the first conference about turning into believers? Anyone that has watched LFCTV will know which one I mean. I want the video/file, it's beautiful.

He actually had a grudge with them before this already. The full quote is actually "Oh, the S@n? Do you think I am an idiot?" Apparently they've been asking daft questions during both legs of the tie.

So he's right it's not about Liverpool, they're daft regardless.
