Oct 13, 2015 Liverpool’s new manager Juergen Klopp recently said being called to work for the club is the biggest honor he could imagine. He also gave himself a four-year target to win a league title.
During his presentation, the German national said:
“The greatest honour I can imagine to be here. For me it is one of the biggest clubs in the world and give me this opportunity, yes, to try to help in a situation that is not so difficult like all the people in the room feel, I think. It is not the perfect moment of course but I feel it is a good moment to come here and I feel really proud.”
When question on his attraction of Liverpool, the former Borussia Dortmund manager said:
“The intensity of the football, of football. How the people live football in Liverpool and around Liverpool, all Liverpool fans all over the world. So it is not a normal or usual club, it’s a special club and I had two very very special clubs with Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund, and this now, it is a perfect next step for me to be here.”
Klopp, who took over from Brendan Rodgers, praised the players and said what was needed, was a new way of playing to motivate the team.
“This is a great club with a big team, great potential, fast players, strong players, good defenders, flexible, creative, everything is there,” he said. “So some players are injured, that is normal. Let us try to start a new way. I think this is the perfect moment to do this because now everything is different. Here is a German guy, first time, let’s try to use him. Because I don’t know all but I am a pretty good listener and I want to listen now what happens until now and then I go to Melwood (training ground) and see what will work, what doesn’t work, all these things, then we think about it and then we play football, it is a good moment now.”
