New Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp makes four-year Premier League title vow
Klopp replaces Brendan Rodgers after the Northern Irishman was sacked following the Merseyside derby draw on Sunday. It seems that I am a really lucky guy.
“For sure the Premier League is one of the most hard because five, six, seven teams can win, but only one can be champion”.
“It’s cool that you’re looking for that, but it’s not my part to think about that”. I don’t think about this, it’s really not important.
“I had two very special clubs before and this role is the flawless next step for me”.
“It’s not a normal, usual club, it’s a special club”.
“I’m not here today to speak too much about football and I didn’t meet my team until now”.
“The intensity of the football, how they live football is what attracted me”.
This short clip includes the spine tingling moment when the Yellow Wall salute Klopp, who stands speechless before them on the penalty spot, one last time.
“It’s been insane here”, he said. It’s only important we play our own game, we feel the confidence and the trust of the people. We talked about it. For me, it’s enough. “This could be a very special day, if you are patient”.
Fans were certainly impressed with the former Borussia Dortmund boss – as was Dalglish, who is expecting a thrilling ride with Klopp at the helm. It is emotion inside, it is speed, it is a transition game, so you will see this.
“Liverpool has extraordinary supporters and Anfield is a world renowned home, with an incredible atmosphere”.
Klopp takes over for Rodgers’ disappointing 2015 season, but hopes are high for the newcomer.
“The problem is you can be as good as you want but you have no influence on how good your opponent is”.
British media reports put the value of Klopp’s contract at a basic 5 million pounds ($7.68 million) per year, with bonuses taking that to a potential 7 million.
Sir Alex Ferguson has hailed Jurgen Klopp as a “good appointment” for Liverpool but predicted trouble ahead with the transfer committee, the legendary Manchester United manager told ESPN FC in an interview. “Critically, he is also a victor and someone who can connect with and enthuse our supporters”, Werner added.
