Jürgen Klopp on Liverpool front three:

"Mo Salah, world class, but not every day. Sadio Mane, world class, but not every day. Roberto Firmino, world class, pretty much every day."

Klopp on Coutinho: "I told him stay here at Liverpool and they will end up building a statue in your honour. Go somewhere else, to Barcelona, to Bayern Munich, to Real Madrid, and you will be just another player. Here you can be something more.”

Jürgen Klopp: "The Camp Nou is just a stadium, quite big, but it's not a football temple."

Jürgen Klopp: "When Palace scored I saw many people leave. I felt very alone in that moment."

Klopp on Gerrard: “If you ask who should follow me, I’d say Stevie. I help him whenever I can. If someone gets your job, it’s not about them, it’s about you not being good enough."

Jurgen Klopp to stuttering journalist: "You wait almost as long as Simon Mignolet taking a goal kick."

Jurgen Klopp: "Chelsea is not my cup of tea... or in German; it's not my beer"

Jurgen Klopp on Mo Salah and Sadio Mane🗣️:

"Both boys don't drink alcohol at all - that is what kills the recovery after you win something. They were fit the day after the game. Both players are a force of nature. They recover extremely quickly."

Jurgen Klopp on Trent Alexander-Arnold in National team:

🗣 „Why would you make the best right-back in the world a midfielder?"

Jurgen Klopp on Gabriel Martinelli:

🗣️“Martinelli by the way…everybody should remember that name. Outstanding player".

Jürgen Klopp 🗣️:

"No, I am not a dreamer. I am a football romantic."

Jürgen Klopp 🗣️:

“We want to attack the opponent non-stop when we have the ball, when we lose it, and when the opposition have it. Put another way, defending is our first offensive action.”

Jürgen Klopp:

🗣„Virgil van Dijk is the best centre-half in the world, for sure - and thanks God he’s with us. We need all our players to play the football we want to play. There was always a basic ideas but the better the players get the better football you can play.

Klopp on Diogo Jota:

🗣️“Mentality mixed with quality is the reason we signed him. Of course he scored two goals, he is incredibly important to us, so it is that mix of his skills that is really exciting. He is in good shape as well and long may it continue.Diogo Jota on fire.”

Jurgen Klopp:🗣️

"If anybody says that Trent cannot defend then they can come to me and I'll knock them down. I cannot hear that anymore, I don't know what more the boy has to do."

Jurgen Klopp on facing Nottingham forest in FA "I know Nottingham only from when I was a kid watching Robin Hood!" 🏹

"So the north west of England is cut-off from the rest, this time literally"

Jurgen Klopp on trains 🚂 London for Caraboa final

“If you want to be a striker for Liverpool, you have to work your fucking socks off”.

Jurgen Norbert Klopp

Klopp on Mane: “The massive advantage of being in your early-30s… is that as a player you can see things in the right way if you have learned throughout your career. Sadio can use that and ­become an even better player than he was… before.”

Klopp on Thiago: “He’s a very, very good player, we were never in doubt about that. His skillset is insane.”

Klopp on Firmino: “He has a new record now as well, the closest to a goal with goalline technology! Congratulations to him on that!"

Klopp on Firmino: “I remember when we played at Barcelona and Gini Wijnaldum had to play in that position. Gini was sitting in the dressing room saying, ‘What the heck are you doing in that position? It’s unbelievable. It’s so intense’.”

Klopp on Firmino’s lack of goals - "We only have chances in other positions because Bobby plays the way he plays".

Klopp: “The world is sometimes a bad place, in the moment when somebody is shining we immediately speak about another player who played what feels like 500 games in a row. Without Bobby Firmino we would not even be in the Champions League”.

Jurgen Klopp about Bobby Fermino “Bobby for people with football knowledge, people will write books about how he interprets the false nine. We don’t say he invented it but it looks like at times,”

Klopp: "He can still play as the eight or we could play some games with a double six, Fabinho could play the eight or whatever, that’s all possible. Hendo is so important to us, not only as a player but also as a person and as a leader."

"To create a situation where everybody feels important, enjoys themselves, knows their jobs, feels respected and feels needed - that's how life should be."

🗣️ Jurgen Klopp

“It’s not so important what people think when you arrive, it’s much more important what people think when you leave.”
Jurgen Klopp.

Jurgen Klopp 🗣️

"I really think the most important thing for football is entertaining the people.

We don’t save lives, we don’t create anything, we are not good in surgeries, we are only good in football."

Jurgen Klopp 🗣️ " It needs time. Nobody wants to hear it, but that's the truth: if you want to have success in the future, you have to be ready to work now."

Jurgen Klopp 🗣️ " Bad performances can happen and are not that serious - even with new players. You can't, say, sell him, get a new one."

Jurgen Klopp 🗣️ " I don't want to spend money the club doesn't have; I don't want to hold a player that doesn't want to stay."

Jurgen Klopp 🗣️ “These young players don't think too much. That's important. They think about football, not about pressure."

Jurgen Klopp 🗣️ "A football team is like an orchestra - you need people for different instruments. Some are loud and some are not that loud but all are important for the rhythm, and Bobby plays like 12 instruments in our orchestra."

@smallnedu 😇

Jurgen Klopp to Robert Lewandeski 🗣️ "As long as we don't play against each other, you can score as many goals as you want,”

“Giving absolutely everything doesn’t mean you get anything but it’s the only chance to get something” - Jurgen Klopp

Jurgen Klopp on Mo Salah “For me he is the best, I see him every day, that maybe makes it easier for me, but there’s Lewandowski out there, Ronaldo still scoring like crazy and Messi still scoring on a world-class level.

“But at this moment he is for sure on top of that list.”

Jurgen Klopp on Mo Salah get Injured 🗣️ “Mo is a tough cookie,”

Jurgen Klopp to Mo Salah after winning PFA player of the year 🗣️ 😁 “From the LFC family, congratulations. But now, grab the trophy and run home... we play on Tuesday!”

Jurgen Klopp about the race with Pep Gaurdiola for EPL 21/22 “That is the plan, that we keep being as annoying as possible,"

Jurgen Klopp on Salah 🗣️ "It’s easy to see where we would be without Mo’s goals. It’s his desire, his professionalism, his greed which helps us completely. The team helps but I have to say he’s carried a lot. It’s absolutely exceptional, and that’s what makes him really special.”

Jurgen Klopp 🗣️ “When you think of Mo Salah, you think about an outstanding footballer and a great goalscorer, what you may not see is what kind of a good person he is.
If I tell you he is an even better person than he is a player, then you can imagine what type of guy he is.”

Klopp after listening to Italian translation of his response to Salah: "Was my answer that long?"

@doyinsola_o_

Jürgen Klopp 🗣️ “I’m not interested in what everybody’s thinking, what they want to hear when they ask a question, because most of the time I think they didn’t think a second about the question, so why should I think a second about the answer?”

Jurgen Klopp 🗣️ “It’s important for managers to be ready for press conferences. The best thing is if you are a little bit strange, or you are extremely smart, or always have the perfect answer.

“In my case, it is: ‘I don’t care’

Jurgen Klopp 🗣️ “During a game, something happens with the first whistle, I’m not too sure what but everything is different in these moments.
“I’m smart enough to know that nearly everything is more important than football, but not for me in these ninety minutes.”

Jurgen Klopp 🗣️ “Tactical things are so important, you cannot win without tactical things, but the emotion makes the difference.

“It’s the only sport where emotion has this big of an influence.”

Jurgen Klopp 🗣️ “There are some boring games and then I sleep. It’s so boring I think ‘why they meet each other and make the 20, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80,000 people watch this boring game?’.
“It’s not OK. So that’s what we want to see, we want to enjoy our own game."

Jurgen Klopp on his Full backs “This kind of full-back now is much more of a midfield player. The kind of football they play, in halfspaces, they are the other winger sometimes, the central midfielder sometimes.

Jurgen Klopp on high press "If you win the ball back high up the pitch and you are close to the goal, it is only one pass away a really good opportunity most of the time. No playmaker in the world can be as good as a good counter-pressing situation."

Jurgen Klopp on Trent's position "Of course he is still in the right-back position to defend especially, then he’s a right winger, then he’s an eight, a six, a playmaker."

Reporter : How did Adrian play today..?
Jurgen Klopp: Adriannnn...... What a man.. like rocky.. 🤣
