How a 'Normal' Manager Changed Football Forever

so I'm a totally normal guy I'm the normal one so I can speak like a waterfall and don't I'm not worrying about what people think that's true so it's a red light and Camera I'm not getting nervous a personality don't give up fighting Spirits every player giving everything who's the toughest manager you've ever faced with that man Club the best FIFA men's coach is Jurgen klopp he's almost like a Godlike figure winning the league winning the Champions League club World Cup what he's done has been astonishing cops one every trophy that can be won are you the best manager in the world [Music] no he's one of the greatest managers of all time maybe he's the the best the best manager in the world the best manager who create the teams attacking the back for who also has an unpredictable personality very erotic Voice by the way I'm not a native speaker but if you want to understand me wrong you can do that all the time this is very difficult to describe this personality but it is empathy is is a kind of love this is a man who claims to be normal if anything he's the opposite when you came here you introduced yourself as the normal one and we were sitting in Germany and laughing because we knew you aren't or are you I am 100% to be honest I never read a book about football I never looked um had the opportunity to to look what other coaches are doing so I had to learn it by myself why don't you wear a suit I don't like it I I I like wearing a it in the right moment but I never my problem is I can't I have no space no resources to think about what I wear I have so many questions still much more than answers means how can could I be special how could I be exceptional so you might be wondering how is this man able to revive one of the greatest football clubs in the world well the more you learn about klopp's younger years the more it all make sense I was a very young father and I was not prepared for this actually each young father probably is a lot of times I have no idea what I'm doing there but I tried really my best but it gave me the opportunity to learn how to handle much younger people than myself meanwhile Jurgen was playing football at the amateur level determined to go pro he didn't know whether he'd have a a professional career in football and if he had one he didn't know how long it would last studied Sport Science and played in third division with got a little bit money but small money so I had to work I worked in a pup I worked on different places he had a family to support so he was always thinking about what else he could do studied Sports Science need a lot of luck to to to get something like a professional career klopp's hard work finally paid off he was offered a contract by m05 a second division Club situated on the banks of the river rine he got the opportunity he'd been dreaming about but this moment wasn't how he envisioned it Jurgen klopp is our special guest time to find out about Jurgen klopp the footballer what would you say about him how would you describe him without swearing if you don't mind yeah no no very everage I was really quick and good haer that's it big heart I was not so good in techn things of the part of the game year after year mindes failed to gain promotion to the Bundesliga Klo dreams have taken them to the promised land seemed impossible I when I was around about 31 32 I knew oh no money not the best future it's not so good but I love the game too much that I could stop it but what if there was another way to achieve it in the morning time when in the in the newspaper uh you could read J Klo is the new coach what the is that I started as a manager as a head coach and they there after I was a player everybody was surprised about our decision they were surprised and we were sitting there and we were laughing and said okay let's go let's have a look what happened klopp officially made the transition from player to manager but with great power comes great responsibility in the very beginning responsible for absolutely everything around the football team and so I had to learn it the hard way and I learned it the hard way that changed his life and it changed the club everybody was excited about that this is where gets interesting though because even with zero managerial experience klopp decides to implement a tactic that few others have tried gag and pressing and then through his press conference he said let's play Full Throttle football and with say what Full Throttle football the idea always to get forward to get into press situation G and pressing is the best playmaker yeah what do you mean by that so you win the ball back in a high and a a high on the pitch and you are close to the goal so it's only one pass away from a really good opportunity most of the time I know it's not the most important statistic but I love it when I read after the game that we run more than than the opponent we formed it a new style of of playing football and the results were almost instantaneous fourth in his first four season as a manager followed by another fourth place finish in the second not too bad for a manager with no experience he gave the players the human warmers they fight for him they believe in him but a little bit of a sign that it's not only a dream don't have to stay a dream maybe it could be real the players believed in flop and in the third season that belief manifested itself Minds were promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time ever it was unbelievable that we got in the first division after 3 years and for him the was explosion for him too after spending nearly two decades with mines klopp decided it was finally time to begin the next chapter when I was thought first time about where do I want to go if you could have a dream where would you want to go and Dort but at this next Club there was even more pressure on his shoulders in dorment is first is football maybe family first but then is football the task of brussa Dortmund was no easy one they had not won a league for nearly a decade when I came to Dortmund and when we started working together it was not the best atmosphere they felt they had to wait too long for the next success you see klopp was a man who realized that what matters most isn't necessarily the tactics but something else what is the one quality a Jurgen klopp team must have character mentality not to be satisfied with small steps you cannot win without technical things but um the emotion make the difference one of the core characteristics of our club is the intensity and the emotion the authenticity and Jurgen klopp is just himself he's so authentic Jurgen your management style um I love watching it I won't Li you you're you're very sort of tactile very Hands-On like like a father figure you really are we always trust him and he always trust us and um I think that's really important in such a relationship he's the perfect football teacher klopp's men believed in him deeply and in his third season with the club he did the unthinkable he convinced us that we were really a good team and that it's time now to be Champion he he knows what football means to the city of Dortmund he won Dortmund their seventh league title and instantly became a hero in the eyes of the fans but could he aim even higher so this is it the Champions League League final Bayern Munich versus Dortmund it's going to be a good game we want to make our parents proud We want to we want to we want to do everything what what we can do and to be the winner in this unfortunately Jurgen club would have to wait longer before adding the Champions League trophy to his cabinet he was really able to spend hope I remember his speech to the people in London after the Champions League final he was really able to spend hope to the people in moment where they were really really disappointed Jurgen klopp exploded onto the German football scene like a firecracker and left a lasting mark on bruo dormand but in 2015 he made the intention to conquer a different country it's not so important what people think when you come in it's much more important what people think when you leave T I'm going to have to stop you because we got we've got some big breaking news from the Premier League breaking right now Brendan Rogers has left Liverpool uh uh the club is a brilliant Club I'll go back to what Jimmy said it's not a big team anymore and I think most people in football certainly our Rivals thought Liverpool would do if it was me I would go for klopp ahead of angelotti I think he's got more to prove and I think we all have this would be a good moment for a restart really good moment we can be successful but we can wait for it of course but we I don't want to say we have to wait the next 20 years and I'm sit here again I I know know and when I sit here in four years I think we won one title in this time I'm pretty sure he made that step because he knew which potential Liverpool has and what he could create with his philosophy out of that club but club's fresh start at Liverpool wasn't exactly full of success I studed Sport Science so I like for a development losing a game when I know why more than winning a game I have no idea how in the 2016 Europa League final he missed out on securing his second chance at European silverware tonight it was not too lucky that's true and one or the other final were not too lucky true that's how it is means we have time to train we will use it we will use it and we will come back stronger that's that's for sure in 2018 another defeat in the European final was added to the tally and things started heading into a concerning territory from klopp all great managers throughout history have laid claim to a European trophy was klopp an ordinary manager after all I don't think that God have the plan with me that he say come on go to the final and he got always a knock sometimes it weighs a little bit harder so I have a lot of luck in my life that I sit here and the Manager of Liverpool FC I don't think um I'm an unlucky person or the life was unfair to me that's for sure not however things slowly started to come together for Klo and Liverpool fans trusted the process and klopp repaid them with results in The Following Season klopp's men completed a once in a lifetime comeback against Barcelona he comes in and says um no team in the world really has a chance to overturn this but it's you and we do and I think that gave us the belief then that we could and the the way the night happened and obviously went in the semi-final that I think that took us on to then go and and win the final kin still a winning mentality in his place players and ultimately this led him to the trophy which has always eluded him klopp was a Champions League winner at last and this shows you what is possible and what can happen if a Coach with a with a mindset and with a clear idea of how his team should play what can happen but could he rest even for a second no because there was a bigger hurdle still yet to be overcome Liverpool are not a club who can one season have a bad season and then just going blow hundreds of millions in the transfer Mark and get close the next season and we spoke about the transfer window and things like that and you said look when I came here I know what it's like I'm I know what I'm up against in terms of you haven't got all the money in the world if you actually look at what Jen spent net spend he's only spent 80 million or 5 years which is unbelievable actually compared to his Rivals so what does Liverpool we cannot act like them it's not possible not possible but klopp never let finances get in the way of his success in the past could he do it one more time you're going to go that extra yard for each other you're going to put your head into that challenge for each other you want to go that extra yard for your mate because you don't want to let him down and the way that he thought about things was totally different so that helped me massively you know I've already he said that he's he's like a father to not just me and the team but the whole the the the city but they're Relentless and they should win a title they're playing the football and massing the points they have Jurgen klopp has picked up the manager of the month award for a record fifth time this season uh Liverpool at 22 points clear at the top of the Premier League table I think if they keep their heads keep Virgil Van dijk Salah fit as long as he's not too bad I do believe it's Liverpool's year this might just be the biggest lift for Liverpool Jurgen klopp emerged as the man who was able to get the job done it's a big moment I cannot I I have no real words to be honest um I I it's such a big moment I'm completely overwhelmed well this a comp ment and the continued pursuit of success has come at a cost it shouldn't have happened those were the words of young klopp in his news conference today regarding his behavior towards the officials um we have our story history with Mr TI I I really don't know what this man has with us I really don't this was a sloppy performance tonight just I want to only hear it because I'm not sure if I heard it right maybe he spoke about another game cannot be this game Sorry you picked the 1230 King you 12 yeah after Wednesday after Wednesday you after Wednesday Saturday 12:30 is really really dangerous for the players so and when you are not winning everything then the next problem is there and the next one is there and the next one and he cannot play and he cannot play and he should not play he don't want to harm anybody or something like that when he's quarreling with a referees it's just emotion it's a football emotion he's living for football that's just coming from the heart it is that I'm running out of energy um know that I cannot do the job again and again and again and again and for you the love grew for you and the least thing I owe you is the truth um if I think about my future then it's the future when I stop working oh yeah when when it's that because that should be a moment when I still have uh enough energy to do things I had never time for it's good fun to to go for it and you have to accept early that it will not work out all the time and if you can accept that then you can have a pretty good [Music] life
