“When he was appointed everyone was really excited,” says Kenny Dalglish in quotes released by Channel 4.
“He nailed himself to the people when he said ‘I’m the normal one’ because that’s what the Liverpool people are, they just want people to be normal, very good at their job but they don’t need it slammed in their face every two minutes.
“It’s important that the club has a feelgood factor, Jurgen certainly brought that in and that’s the way it used to be at Liverpool. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that that was when it was successful as well.”
“He took a team, without spending huge amounts of money and he’s putting them alongside the Barcelonas, the Real Madrids, the AC Milans, all the teams that had been doing well in Europe,” adds Steven Gerrard.
“Jurgen Klopp took Borussia Dortmund there. He’d even knocked Bayern Munich off their perch.”
Jurgen Klopp: Germany’s Greatest Export will air on Channel 4 at 10 pm on Monday evening.
