Football fans criticizing Jurgen Klopp will forget about his move to Red Bull very soon, Christian Falk has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Klopp only took the Red Bull job because he would not have to work as hard as he did at Liverpool, and he definitely would not have to watch football every day like he used to do in England.
Falk added that he expects criticism to die down quickly because Klopp can do no wrong in Germany.
His words, “I have been working on the story since May but Jurgen always hesitated – he wasn’t sure he wanted to make that step. He won’t have to work so hard as he did at Liverpool. He won’t have to watch football every day.
It is true it is controversial. There is a big discussion in Germany at the moment about ‘has he sold his soul?’
I would say no, because Leipzig is a big club. Of course it is hard in particular for Dortmund fans because there were big fights and they have always said it is a tinpot club – it is not traditional.
But, by the end, after say a month or so, it will die down. The love for Jurgen Klopp in this country means he can almost do anything.”
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.
