Jürgen Klopp unlocked inner passion by signing Ben Davies, giving Liverpool transfer advantage

Wake up with Liverpool.com: The Reds surprise move for the Preston North End defender is one which everyone has bought into — especially a manager who walked the same path

Jürgen Klopp has been relegated as a football manager. He was an average (at best) professional player. He had times when he thought opportunities were missed only for them to open later. These are his words, all things he has said openly when asked.

Indeed, it’s part of the DNA of the man — that his principles are wrapped up in honesty and modesty. To study Klopp over the years, you realise he almost has an innate fear of his team’s being humbled and outworked by those who know what it’s like to scrap. Liverpool need — above everything else — to remain honest about their day’s work. It’s what they are because it’s who the manager is.

And therefore, there’s no real surprise to see Klopp’s face light up when speaking about landing a player like Ben Davies. The manager maybe struggled for the right words in his second language when intimating Davies is a player Liverpool usually wouldn’t look at, but the romance of the transfer was written all over his face.

What Klopp knows Liverpool are getting is a fighter. A player who has done the rounds in the lower echelons of English football to earn himself this opportunity at 25-years-old. To look around his Premier League winning dressing room there are stories to be told of a similar nature: Andy Robertson tweeting about being skint, Jordan Henderson a Sunderland captain in his teens, Mohamed Salah rejected at Chelsea only to prove the world wrong.

Redemption is a key component of Klopp’s personality attributes which define his teams.

The other thing to now consider is whether Liverpool have hit the right note in finding “the player before the player” with Davies. We can argue not since Joe Gomez have we made a transfer at source which hasn’t had the added caveat of seeing how said player first fared in the Premier League or whether they’ve just been relegated etc.

All things considered, Davies’ story is one that everyone, none more so than Klopp, seemingly cannot get enough of. All that’s left is for him to complete the fairytale and succeed in a Liverpool shirt.

It’s good to have both Colin Millar and Callum Rice-Coates back with us freelancing for the month — and they both produced two excellent pieces for us yesterday. Callum wrote this excellent look at Takumi Minamino ‘s tactical fit to Southampton (which after last night takes on extra importance). While Colin produced a riveting look at the collapse of Real Madrid and Barcelona, and what it means when they no longer become the dream destination for the world’s top players.

The Ringer have produced their Wolf XI, which is described as follows: Like Harvey Keitel’s character in Pulp Fiction , these players do an unglamorous, often underappreciated job exceptionally well. I won’t spoil the piece for you, but you’ll be glad to know Robbo is in there.

Juergen Klopp, the charismatic German coach, has been at the helm of Liverpool Football Club since 2015.

In his time at the club, he has overseen a significant transformation of the team’s fortunes, leading them to become one of the most dominant forces in English and European football. Klopp’s vision for Liverpool is rooted in his deep appreciation for the club’s history, his passion for the game, and his unwavering commitment to his players.

One of Klopp’s primary goals for Liverpool is to restore the club to its former glory. Liverpool has a rich history, dating back to the early 20th century when it was a dominant force in English football. The club has won 19 league titles, 7 FA Cups, and 8 League Cups, as well as numerous European trophies, including 6 European Cups. However, in the years leading up to Klopp’s arrival, the club had fallen on hard times, and its success had waned.

Klopp’s approach to restoring Liverpool’s glory has been to create a team that is both successful on the field and beloved by its fans. He has instilled a strong team ethos, emphasizing the importance of hard work, dedication, and a never-say-die attitude. Klopp has also been a master of motivating his players, inspiring them to give their all in every game and to never give up, even in the face of adversity.

Another key element of Klopp’s vision for Liverpool is to play an exciting, attacking brand of football. He believes that football is a form of entertainment, and that the best way to win over fans is to play attractive, attacking football that is pleasing to the eye. Under Klopp’s guidance, Liverpool has become known for its high pressing, fast-paced style of play, which has led to some thrilling matches and memorable moments.

In addition to his focus on the team’s success on the field, Klopp has also been committed to building a strong, positive culture at the club. He has placed a strong emphasis on team unity, creating a sense of camaraderie among his players and staff that extends beyond the confines of the playing field. Klopp has also been a strong advocate for social justice issues, using his platform to speak out on issues such as racism and inequality.

Finally, Klopp’s dream for Liverpool is to establish the club as a dominant force in European football. He has a deep appreciation for the history and tradition of the European game, and he has made it clear that he wants Liverpool to be among the elite clubs on the continent. In 2019, Klopp achieved this dream when he led Liverpool to their sixth European Cup triumph, cementing the club’s place among the greats of European football.

In conclusion, Juergen Klopp’s vision for Liverpool is rooted in a deep appreciation for the club’s history, a passion for the game, and a commitment to his players and fans. His focus on restoring Liverpool to its former glory, playing an exciting brand of football, building a positive culture, and establishing the club as a dominant force in European football has led to a remarkable transformation of the club’s fortunes. Klopp’s dream for Liverpool is one that is shared by millions of fans around the world, and it is one that he is working tirelessly to achieve.

As Liverpool’s manager, Jürgen Klopp has been very vocal about his desire to build a team that is capable of sustained success and competing at the highest level. He has a clear vision for the club’s future, which centers around a few key principles.

First and foremost, Klopp wants Liverpool to play entertaining, attacking football that excites fans and puts opponents under constant pressure. This style of play is built on a foundation of intense pressing and high-energy movement both on and off the ball.

Secondly, Klopp is committed to building a strong team culture that values hard work, teamwork, and a never-say-die attitude. He wants his players to be fully committed to the club’s goals and to be willing to put in the effort needed to achieve them.

In terms of specific goals, Klopp has said that he wants Liverpool to win the Premier League and the Champions League. He has already achieved both of these feats during his time at the club, but his ultimate dream is to build a team that can sustain this success over a long period of time.

To achieve this, Klopp has emphasized the importance of building a deep squad with quality players in every position, and of developing young players through the club’s academy system. He has also stressed the need for the club to continue investing in state-of-the-art facilities and technology to give the team the best possible chance of success.

Overall, Klopp’s dream for Liverpool is to build a club that is not only successful on the pitch, but that is also respected and admired around the world for its style of play, its team culture, and its commitment to excellence in all areas.
