Liverpool: Klopp to appear before press

Klopp, interviewed by Liverpool TV’s Claire Rourke, added that becoming Reds boss was “one of the best moments of his life”.

On what he did since leaving Borussia Dortmund in May.

“Now I’m back in the race”. And I am here to try to help.

“Of course I will adapt, but I don’t think about this because I know English football”. Why give him a job if he can’t do it? “I’m not only here because LFC was calling, I believe in the potential of the team”. He’s very good with them and he’s very upbeat with them, and with the fans. It is not a usual club, it is a special club. The German club combined an image of Klopp with the Beatles’ “Abbey Road” album cover.

“It’s one of the biggest problems we have at the club”.

The Merseyside club are presently at 10th place in the point’s table and things did not look well for them in the Champions League as well. For the rest, you live in a period of disaster. Our positon is absolutely OK, so we can start our development today and tomorrow. This is a restart. “It is important we play our own game and feel the trust of the people”. Now we have to start, not wait. Stop thinking about money.

New Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists he is “the Normal One” and is not setting out to join the ranks of Anfield greats.

‘I’m not a dreamer, I don’t want to have Cristiano [Ronaldo] or Lionel [Messi]. Following the dismissal, Jurgen Klopp and Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti became favourites to take over the position at Anfield. “I’m a very normal guy from the Black Forest”. He flew into the city’s John Lennon airport yesterday afternoon and was unveiled at a press conference today morning. If you want, I am the normal one! Then had a great opportunity with Dortmund. “This could be a very special day, if you are patient”.

And he quipped: “Everyone told me about the British press”.

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

“It’s a insane discussion”. So please give us time. I don’t want to be…

“When we sign or sell a player, it’s really easy to handle this”. “I’m not a genius”.

“It’s enough for me to have the first and last word”.

Then he set himself the task of winning a league title in four years or he would move on to another job, like coaching Switzerland. [I had] seven cool years at Dortmund and now I want to do something new.
