Klopp: I Will Only Be Judged by God, Not Trophies

By Daily Sports on March 16, 2019

Jurgen Klopp has said his achievements as Liverpool manager will only be judged by God and not by the trophies he wins during his time at Anfield.

Liverpool can go top of the Premier League if they win at Fulham on Sunday, with leaders Manchester City not in league action until they themselves visit Craven Cottage on Mar. 30.

Klopp’s side also received a favourable tie in the Champions League quarterfinal draw on Friday and will face FC Porto in the last eight, following Liverpool’s 3-1 win at Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

But with his team in a strong position on both fronts, Klopp insisted that he is under no pressure to win his first trophy at the club and will not be affected by the judgement of others as the Reds attempt to win their first league title since 1990.

“You can’t imagine how less I’m interested in that,” Klopp said at a news conference on Friday. “My job is to do everything I can to help the team be as successful as possible. I’m not searching to be remembered in 50 years or whatever. For me it’s no pressure, only opportunity.

“I respect a lot the desire of all the people and the players, and I can be really part of that, I can be part of that dream. But it’s not for me at the end, it’s for the people.

“I am not interested in who judges me. God judges me one day and that is the only thing I am interested in. What other people say about me I couldn’t be less interested.”

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson will miss the trip to Fulham because of an ankle injury, which could also rule the midfielder out of England’s European qualifiers this month. (ESPN)
