In one of his final ever interviews as Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp sits down with a handful of media publications ahead of his last match on Sunday
Jurgen Klopp cuts a relaxed figure as he chats to the media on a glorious day at the AXA Training Centre.
"The Liverpool I knew was when I was rather younger and you did not have a lot of footage. There was a show called Euro Goals - maybe you didn’t have it here - on a Monday night. They would show all the goals from Europe…England, France… but it was just goals. You couldn’t get anything else. You recently said Scousers were the most passionate football fans, so what have you learned from the people of the city during your time here?
"We lose that game on a Wednesday night, Manchester City are playing the next night, I said I am definitely not watching that and my son is saying ‘come on, let’s go for a beer’. So we went for a beer instead. "You cannot do it in London where there are 25 clubs. If you went to that street you might support Crystal Palace or Fulham, that street you’re a bit closer to Chelsea or whatever. You are here and it’s red or blue. That’s how it is. This is the place you can do it.
"I think two, three years before I think Ian Ayre called me up when I was at Dortmund and asked if I was interested. In that moment I thought, ‘Eh?’ Dortmund were flying, blah, blah, blah, maybe champions again and Liverpool? I thought: ‘Nah, no chance’.
