Klopp: The Liverpool FC Celebration

"I said when he was appointed, 'fasten your seatbelts and get ready for take-off,' and I wasn’t wrong. He took us on some journey" Sir Kenny Dalglish On 9 October 2015 swathes of Liverpool FC supporters gathered outside the Shankly Gates to listen to Jurgen Klopp’s first press conference, where he confidently predicted a change in the team’s fortunes after years of underperformance. Across the next nine years Jurgen would go on to revolutionise the club, creating a team of mentality monsters who would consistently deliver on his promises. In this revealing book, LFC turn to the players, club heroes and competitors who worked most closely with Jurgen to describe some of the most pivotal and memorable moments of his tenure. Mike Gordon explains what made Jurgen the perfect fit for LFC; James Milner describes how he set about transforming the club; Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk outline how he convinced them to sign for him; Jordan Henderson reveals what he said in his team talk to inspire their legendary UEFA Champions League comeback against Barcelona in 2019; Sir Kenny Dalglish recalls the momentous 2019-2020 Premier League season and how Jurgen ended the 30-year wait. Every story places readers at the heart of Jurgen Klopp’s incredible LFC journey and outlines the qualities that have enabled him to become one of the club's most revered and successful managers. Accompanied with stunning photographs from Liverpool FC’s archive, this celebration describes the indelible mark that Jurgen Klopp has left and relates countless memories that LFC fans will cherish for years to come.
