Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been pictured enjoying life away from the dugout. He recently took courtside seats in Berlin for the NBA showdown between the Orlando Magic and the Memphis Grizzlies.
According to him, it feels awkward when he is being dwarfed by the basketball stars, despite standing at a respectable 6ft 3in.
Klopp appeared completely relaxed despite the intensifying speculation suggesting he is the number one target for the Real Madrid job.
His words, “Only these guys can make a tall guy like me look small. I am having a „magical time for this historic @nba Berlin Game. It was a pleasure meeting [Svenja Brunckhorst ] the Wagner Brothers!”
On the Real Madrid job, “I don’t know if that’s where your question was going, but this has absolutely nothing to do with me, and it didn’t trigger anything for me either, which would probably have been the follow-up question.
I was surprised, that’s true – genuinely surprised. Then a few people messaged me, and I replied with various emojis.”
WOW.
Liverpool Football Club is a professional football club based in Liverpool, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Founded in 1892, the club joined the Football League the following year and has played its home games at Anfield since its formation.
Domestically, the club has won 19 league titles, eight FA Cups, a record nine League Cups and 16 FA Community Shields. In international competitions, the club has won six European Cups, three UEFA Cups, four UEFA Super Cups—all English records—and one FIFA Club World Cup.
The club established itself as a major force in domestic and European football in the 1970s and 1980s, when Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish, led the club to a combined 11 League titles and four European Cups. Liverpool won two further European Cups in 2005 and 2019 under the management of Rafael Benítez and Jürgen Klopp, respectively; the latter led Liverpool to a 19th league title in 2020, the club’s first during the Premier League era.
Anfield was built in 1884 on land adjacent to Stanley Park. Situated 2 miles (3 km) from Liverpool city centre, it was originally used by Everton before the club moved to Goodison Park after a dispute over rent with Anfield owner John Houlding. Left with an empty ground, Houlding founded Liverpool in 1892 and the club has played at Anfield ever since. The capacity of the stadium at the time was 20,000, although only 100 spectators attended Liverpool’s first match at Anfield.
