Liverpool FC manager Jurgen Klopp promised football in “full throttle” and full of heart at Anfield in his first words as the new Reds’ manager. The charismatic German’s first press-conference has the Scousers drooling over him.
Klopp was unveiled as the new Liverpool FC on Thursday night, and the German manager reknowned for his ability to play pressing football that chokes the opponent and then counter-attacking with pace, promises to play football at “full throttle”, at Anfield.
In his first press conference, Klopp emphasised on the need for the Reds’ fanbase to turn from doubters to believers and passing on the same message to the players in the process.
Klopp’s quotes can be seen in the tweets below
