This Klopp Geoff Shreeves interview was a tense exchange between the Liverpool boss and the reporter. Shreeves asks Klopp “if it is still possible” before the Man City game referring to Liverpool’s chances of being league champions again. Klopp, perhaps a bit frustrated, gives this reply
“I don’t understand you, honestly… the only thing you want to talk about all the time is us becoming champion. Have you ever been the best sports commentator in the world? Do you think it’s still possible?”
As reported by us earlier, Jurgen Klopp has today (October 9, 2015) been officially unveiled as Liverpool’s new manager, taking over from Brendan Rodgers. He also gave his first Liverpool interview. The German came across as a breath of fresh air and gave some quotable quotes, describing himself as “the Normal One” and promised to deliver “full throttle football”
Days after sacking Brendan Rodgers, the Fenway Sports Group have landed a mini coup of sorts by agreeing a deal with Jurgen Klopp. The former Dortmund gaffer has agreed a 3 year deal with the club, and will bring along with him, his former assistant Zeljko Buvac and analyst Peter Krawietz.
Sean O’Driscoll and Gary McAllister, the current Liverpool assistant manager and first team coach respectively, have been relieved of their responsibilities and will not be part of the new setup at Anfield, although it is understood that McAllister has been offered a different role.
Liverpool have also parted ways with Chris Davies, their Head of Opposition Analysis man who joined with Rodgers in 2012.
With eight rounds done in the league so far, Liverpool are in a disappointing 10th place, but only six points separate them from leaders Man City, meaning that Klopp has been given a fairly good opportunity to transform the Reds’ season
