About this deal

No team has come close to the amount of times the Reds have been made to play in that slot immediately after the international break during Klopp's now eight-year reign and what is surely the most difficult away-day of the campaign was made that bit tougher by the scheduling.

It means if you buy Jordan Henderson Notes on a Season you get Jürgen Klopp Notes on a Season completely FREE! Klopp's conviction about their future was apparent in his decision to sign a two-year contract extension last month and while the season has ended in disappointment, there is no sense of the end of a cycle, as there was for Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham when they were beaten by Klopp's side in Madrid in 2019. But most importantly, in between the stories the book also brilliantly captures the essence of Jürgen Klopp's tremendous, larger-than-life, personality and the wisdom and intellect that match it. Hence, it is similar with reading books about basketball’s John Wooden or American football’s Vince Lombardy, where we can learn so much more from the great men and from the lessons that they teach us for life outside their respective sports. Terve raamat keskendub sellele, kuidas Klopp suudab teha keskpärastest mängijatest suurepärase meeskonna, aga päris nii see ka ei ole. Võrreldes Liverpooli sellega kui ta tuli ja mis seal praegu on, siis on meeskonnast ikka tohutu hunnik mehi minema transporditud. Seda keskpärasust kiputakse vaatama mängijate hinnasildi järgi, kelle ta sisse tõi (Mane, Salah, Firminho). Mulle endale tundub, et Klopp on üks geniaalsemaid spordiinvestoreid. Tema uudne idee lihtsalt suutis genereerida tulu mängijatelt, kellest tippklubid muidu mööda vaatasid. Suurem jagu tippklubide taktikast keskendus seal 2 või 3 mehe ümber. Real Madrid ratsutas veel ronaldo seljas, Barcelonal oli Messi. Klopp ehitas üles 11 mehest koosnevat sünkroonselt toimivat masinat. Jurgen Klopp spoke candidly in his post-match press conference, revealing his attempts to lift the spirits of his players had failed - "the boys need a little bit longer for that," he said - and admitting Liverpool's performance had fallen short of their usual standards.Yes, the core of this book is about Klopp’s strong values, it's about his work ethic, his natural charisma, his clear conscious between what's right and what's wrong. One single passage in the book perfectly describes this philosophy: “But unlike Bill Shankly, Klopp has never believed that sport is everything. It can’t be. ‘If life would be judged at the end, and you stood at that door, and somebody asked you “Did you win something or not?” that would be really strange. But: “Did you try everything to improve the place you’ve been in, the house you lived in, the mood, the love?” “Yes, I tried, every day.” “Then come in.” And all the other guys, who won ignoring all the rules, all the laws – I think they have to use another door. I didn’t do that much in my life. But when we won it felt incredible (because) we always won it in the right way. You have to be patient. You have to work harder than others. You have to try, over a long period. Then you have a chance.’” City's charges relate to the seasons of 2009/10 to 2017/18 inclusive and the allegations are denied, it should be stressed. However, with no resolution seemingly near and with Everton's plight the talk of football, might Klopp be asked about Man City's own issue? It is, after all, a case that impacts Liverpool more than most other clubs around the top flight.

That is not to say it will be easy to recover from the heartache of the last week, during which Premier League and Champions League glory have slipped away. First, Honigstein's various interviews make it clear that Klopp is a classic football romantic: the journey and the experience are almost equally important to him as the final result. For Mainz, Dortmund & Liverpool, in both victories and gut-wrenching defeats (of which many have rightly noted Klopp has a disproportionately high number for his time in the game) he makes constant references to "our story", "our dream" etc. There's a particularly revealing interview after Dortmund pulled off a famous underdog victory against Malaga in 2013 to reach the Champions League semi-finals: "My motivation as a coach is to collect that kind of stuff, for people to tell and retell it. Football is a shared collection of stories, a shared history, an identity. You win and you lose, but you're with people you like. You're at home, you belong. That's what we all want. Ten million people want to belong here". Certainly not a sentiment you would expect from most rival managers, e.g. Jose Mourinho or Rafa Benitez. In this context, it's not unsurprising that Klopp has only chosen to manage three blue-collar clubs with rich histories, somewhat faded glories but a strong sense of community, culture & work ethic, forming a deliberately close bond with supporters at all three. While the admiration and respect between the two managers and the ability of their respective squads is absolute, Liverpool and Man City have not made good bedfellows in the last five years. Again, it will be engrossing to hear Klopp talk on the subject. But, how I said, the club is in a good moment, we will go again." Analysis: Liverpool cycle far from over It is so important to enjoy the wonderful moments when they come. And this is one of those. I don’t normally like referencing the length of time Liverpool has endured before claiming this title, because so often when working to clinch it my message was to ignore the weight of that gap.His man-management, stubbornness and that relentless desire to drive the team and the people around him forward are what define him as a man and as a manager. He ‘gets it’. Many managers in the game are glorified coaches, not Klopp. The changes he made to every club he joined, the eagerness and hunger to drive change and to squeeze the best out of every player, coach, nutritionist, analyst, cleaner and employee in the clubs he has worked at are rarely seen at football in this era of instant success and insatiable fanbases.
