Patrick Owomeyela: Jurgen Klopp will bring “special approach” to Liverpool

He says it won’t take much time anyway, because they’ll only be discussing the highest level players anyway.

‘It’s only this game because of the fans, that’s what I know, think and feel.

‘This is maybe the hardest challenge at the moment in world football. Does anyone in this room think I can do wonders? How the people live football in Liverpool and around Liverpool, all Liverpool fans all over the world. It is not a normal club. It’s a special club. It is also a major coup of sorts considering he was widely expected to take-over from Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich, whose contract with the Bundesliga champions ends in 2016 but is yet to sign an extension to stay on at the club. Our positon is absolutely OK, so we can start our development today and tomorrow.

Klopp’s first game at the helm will be away to Tottenham Hotspur after the worldwide break. You have to change doubters to believers.

“This is a insane discussion”. “In this case, all the world-class teams play ball possession football”. I need these people.

“It’s really easy to handle this”.

Asked if he would describe himself in a similar way, Klopp told reporters: “I don’t want to describe myself”.

“They have presented to me a very clear vision and I share their ambitions and model of work”. And now I am here.

“It’s one of the best moments in my life, to be here with my family”.

“I come from the Black Forest, I am an average guy”, he said at his introductory presser. Everyone knows me. I don’t change in four months. “It’s a transition game”.

“If you come to the stadium you want to see fighting spirit, many sprints, many shots and if you see this”. “It will be full throttle football”.

“It is surreal. But I have to accept this”.

“Those decisions will be Jurgen’s but the near future is about what we have here and what Jurgen has to work with and that is for him to assess, ” Ayre said.

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

“It is impossible to compare [Liverpool with Dortmund when he first arrived]”. It is the same idea here.

‘I think it suits Liverpool a lot more than Carlo Ancelotti, and there are parallels that can be drawn with Rafa Benitez coming from Valencia’. [I had] seven cool years at Dortmund and now I want to do something new.

“I understand football. If the people are not interested in football you can put a few sticks in the park and play. I want to build a great relationship with these supporters and give them memories to cherish”.
