The secret of Liverpool’s success under my watch — Klopp

By Daily Sports on December 29, 2018

Jurgen Klopp has told ESPN Brasil that he introduced an attacking, high-intensity style of football when he first arrived at Liverpool to help get the club out of an atmosphere that felt “like a depression”.

After replacing Brendan Rodgers in October 2015, Klopp’s first three seasons on Merseyside saw an entertaining Liverpool secure back-to-back top-four finishes and appearances in the finals of the Champions League, Europa League and League Cup.

However, with a more controlled Liverpool currently six points clear at the top of the Premier League, centre-back Dejan Lovren recently said the team had turned into genuine title contenders this campaign thanks to experience and excellent player recruitment. “I heard what Dejan [Lovren] said, but I’m not 100 percent sure what he meant. But bringing in the right players or whatever and, of course, we had to develop. That’s what we do since I came in,” Klopp said in an exclusive interview at Melwood on Friday.

“First, because it felt a little bit like a depression here. I think it made sense to be extremely lively. Yes, to make mistakes, but be very lively, very direct, very energetic.

“It was not perfectly organised. In a few parts we were pretty quick with organisation, but it was only the offensive pressing pretty much. All the other departments we were a bit random, I would say.

“That, of course, improved a lot, so we are now working together with big parts of the squad for more than three years, which is brilliant. And all the other players which we picked, they adapted pretty well because of different reasons. One is only quality and the other thing is that they have played similar styles of football in the club they were in before.

“It was clear, we have to become more stable. That’s what we try to do. It was a big thing in the summer obviously and the boys did the job so far. That’s why we could get the results we could get.” (ESPN)
