Liverpool boss Klopp’s best ever quotes

On his playing days

“I never succeeded in bringing to the field what was going on in my brain. I had the talent for the fifth division, and the mind for the Bundesliga. The result was a career in the second division.”

On losing to Bayern Munich in the Champions League final

“The only thing I can say is that it was great. London is the town of the Olympic Games. The weather was good, everything is OK. Only the result is shit.”

On a poor first-half performance

“I told my players during the break: Since we’re here anyway, we might actually play a bit of football.”

On Arsene Wenger

“He likes having the ball, playing football, passes. It’s like an orchestra. But it’s a silent song. I like heavy metal.”

On facing Bayern Munich

“We have a bow and arrow and if we aim well, we can hit the target. The problem is that Bayern has a bazooka.”

On losing Mario Gotze to Guardiola’s Bayern Munich

“He’s leaving because he’s Guardiola’s favourite. If it’s anyone’s fault, it’s mine. I can’t make myself shorter and learn Spanish.”

On beating Bayern Munich in 2011

“When Dortmund last won here 19 years ago, most of my players were still being breast-fed.”

On signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan

“Mkhitaryan fits us like an arse on a bucket. What he offers is exactly what we need.”

On his hair transplant

“Yes, it’s true. I underwent a hair transplant. I think the results are really cool, don’t you?”

On being compared to ‘The Special One,’ Jose Mourinho

I am ‘The Normal One’. I am a normal guy from the Black Forest. I was a very average player. I don’t compare myself with these genius managers from the past.”
