📹 Klopps sista snack med spelarna: "Jag älskar er"

Tårarna sprutade på Anfield när Jürgen Klopp tog farväl efter sina nio år i klubben.

Nu väntar nya utmaningar tillsammans med ersättaren Arne Slot. Det var dessa utmaningar, och lagets möjligheter att ta sig an dem på bästa sätt, som Klopp fokuserade på när han för sista gången höll ett tal i Anfields omklädningsrum.

Talet i sin helhet

“I love you, that’s all I can say,” he told the squad as he stood in the middle of the dressing room.

“The football you are able to play is absolutely ridiculous, I can’t wait. Watching you, developing, making the next steps, becoming third.

“I don’t even know yet who became champion, City? The only one who’s stopped them is us and you can do that again.

“I said it this morning, there might be some people who say ‘that’s not enough’, I tell you they don’t have a clue about football.

“Could you have done better in moments? Yes. Of course, that’s always possible. But did you do better than you can usually expect? Oh yes!

“Because it takes longer to become a top team again, and you did that (clicks fingers) like this.

“That’s why expectations get [blown up], and then we couldn’t keep their pace. That’s the problem a little bit.

“But besides that, becoming third in the first season of Liverpool 2.0, and from now on, with new energy from outside, for you, with new influences, with new boosts, with new [chances for] proving yourself, that’s good for squeezing everything out of your career.

“So it’s already too much.

“I want to say I love you, it was absolutely outstanding. Thank you for the ride, I’m so proud of you and I’m so proud that I have been allowed to be part of this.

“Thank you very much, the sky is the limit for you boys. Thank you.”
