Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool


Jurgen Klopp in a recent interview declared that it is now his team and you bet,  it is. He joined Liverpool two months after the previous season had already started when an ill fated Brendan Rodgers was sacked due to the poor start by Liverpool to the season,  winning only 3 games in 8 matches in the Premier League.

It is not a perfect situation for any Manager to be in, coming to a new club,  in a new country and also in the middle of a season but Jurgen Klopp took it as a challenge and even declaring managing Liverpool to be his biggest challenge till now due to its vast fan base and the huge expectations that goes along with that. One thing he told in his very first Interview that he wants to change the doubters into believers and that is what he is thriving to achieve past 10 months.

At the starting he was not too happy with the Liverpool squad's overall fitness level.  Slowly but steadily he has built on that and also closely monitoring each and every player alongside his trusted assistant managers Zeljko Buvac & Peter Krawietz ,  determining who among them are suited for his now famous full-throttle football.

There were flashes of brilliant football last season as well notably against Chelsea and Man City in the league and Southampton in the league cup.  Then came that run to the final of the Europa league which really captured the imagination of the fans & neutrals alike and really made believers out of doubters.  There was no fairy tale ending though as Liverpool lost to Sevilla by 3-1 in the final of the Europa league but there were enough evidences for the fans to believe in Jurgen Klopp and his way.

Now after the completion of his first full pre-season with Liverpool and the signing of seven new players with the likes of Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum,  who understands his vision and style of play,  one can truly say that this is Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool. Exciting times are ahead as Jurgen Klopp's liverpool have all the possibilities on their side this season and on one thing there's no shadow of a doubt that Jurgen Klopp is the master of converting possibilities into achievements.
