Liverpool coach, Jurgen Klopp has come out to say that he is not interested in a statue outside Anfield after their recent EPL triumph.
Klopp recently revealed that even if he is very proud, he does not want to be compared with iconic figures because of his achievements with the club.
According to him, he could win the league because the club did not lose patience with him and his players at any point.
He added that the EPL title is not the final destination for his boys and his players will still carry on to achieve more success.
His words, “I want to live for 30 or 40 years so I am not interested in a statue, for sure not in my lifetime – I don’t want to pass anything like that,”
“I am the manager of this team and we won the league so people see this as positive I can imagine. I am very positive about that as well but you don’t have to compare me with these iconic figures.”
On the title, “The history is no burden anymore. The history is now our wonderful background for the basis of what we are doing,”
“When I came in, we had to say ‘don’t compare us anymore with anybody’, with these wonderful, fantastic people who played for this club and won everything for this club in the past. We cannot – the world’s changed.
“We need to get the opportunity from you actually, our supporters, to find our own way. This is only possible because nobody lost patience with us in any moment. Football manager is a nice job but a difficult one as well because we cannot really ask for time.
“We have to deliver immediately, people have to see the steps we make and people saw them because they wanted to see them. So the story was possible.
“We are in a good moment, we are all young enough to still go for something. This is not the final destination. It’s a moment like last year’s Champions League final. From that moment you carry on, and that’s what we’ll do now.”
