Klopp backs Liverpool to win title ‘within four years’

Liverpool fans in the Transfer Tavern are excited to see Jurgen Klopp get to work immediately on their side, as the Premier League outfit confirmed the first new signings at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp has been appointed Liverpool’s new manager on a three-year deal worth £15m.

Klopp, who has been out of work since leaving Dortmund at the end of last season, ended his sabbatical to replace Brendan Rodgers following his sacking last Sunday. “All the things that make football interesting for me I want to see on the pitch”. It is not a usual club, it is a special club.

“For me it is enough to have the first and the last word, the middle we can discuss everything”.

Klopp admitted he was uncomfortable with the level of press interest in him since arriving in Liverpool on Thursday, seemingly unaware of why he has immediately become one of the Premier League’s biggest draws. Then they can talk about the game or the next game and that’s how I want to live.

“It is possible to be the hardest team in the world to beat, so let’s try to be this”.

“This is a great club with a really good team, good potential, everything is there”.

I am a totally normal guy, I come from the Black Forest, my mother might be watching this on the TV.

Klopp, a man who appreciates Liverpool’s rich history, will have the final say.

The German said managing Liverpool was “the biggest honour I can imagine” and called for patience as he implements a brand of “full-throttle” football that won two Bundesliga titles for Borussia Dortmund.

The former Manchester United manager thinks that owners of club have gotten too caught up in saber-metrics and the notion of studying reams of statistics rather than trusting their manger.

Now with the ink on the contract having dried and the first press conference – which was a corker – done, it’s time to focus on what the charismatic tactician can bring to Merseyside.

“It’s important that we play our own game”.

“There are problems, you need to solve them“.

But the other thing is that when he does want a player, including a few of the top talents in Europe, you suspect they’d want to come to Anfield because of him and what he can do for them.

“If I sit here in four years I am pretty confident we will have one title”, he said.
