Former England defender, Jamie Carragher has talked about all things Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp.
Just before Liverpool’s amazing away victory against Bayern Munich last week, Beckenbauer said that Jurgen Klopp would be the proper appointment at Bayern Munich.
Reacting, Klopp, who is still trophyless at Liverpool said he loves coaching Liverpool and he has to keep proving his abilities as a manager.
Carragher has also said Klopp and Liverpool’s fit is beyond football and the German coaches better when he battles against giant clubs.
His words, “He’s suited firstly because he’s a top manager. There’s no doubt about that. Then there’s his personality, his passion on the sidelines resonates with Liverpool supporters.
His beliefs away from football, too, and how he likes his football played.
He resonates with fans on a different level. When he speaks, Liverpool supporters listen. He speaks their type of language, how they like football to be played.
It comes back to that energy and passion in his team, and with him on the sidelines. That mirrors Liverpool people and Liverpool supporters at Anfield.
Liverpool people have just taken to him. How long that love affair lasts? It depends on how successful the club are.
There are a lot of top managers in the world. I’m not saying Jurgen Klopp is the best manager in the world, by a long stretch, but what I would say is I don’t think any manager is a better fit for Liverpool than Jurgen Klopp is.
It doesn’t really worry me that Franz Beckenbauer says he is the perfect fit for Bayern Munich.
Jurgen Klopp has only had three clubs in his managerial career, and none of them have been a Bayern Munich-type club, a Real Madrid or that type of club.
He’s always been at clubs where the feeling is you are fighting against those clubs. Maybe that’s what brings out the best in Jurgen Klopp.
Of course there is no doubt top clubs around European football will be looking at Klopp to be their manager one day, but he’s at a top club right now for him.
He’s had success with similar types of clubs, from that working-class area. It does feel like he clicks with those types of clubs, and long may it continue.
[Keeping hold of players] is a big thing that people at the top of the club and Jurgen Klopp have achieved. Liverpool did lose Philippe Coutinho not so long ago, but I think it would be difficult to prise players away from the club now.”
