Liverpool FC is currently at the top of the Premier League table with a 25-point lead over pursuers Manchester City. Although the “Citizens” have one game less in their account, the title of the team of coach Jürgen Klopp can hardly be taken away. With his game system and his appearance, the coach has gained many fans in the football world – one of them is the former world champion and Bayern star Bixente Lizarazu.
“I love this Liverpool style”
“I love Klopp for what he does: his personality, his communication. He is interesting in every way and does a great job,” said Lizarazu to the “kicker”. The Frenchman is enthusiastic about the squad, the team spirit and the style of play of Liverpool: “I love this Liverpool style with power and tackle strength.” What impressed the world champion from 1998 the most was that Klopp always radiates calm on the sidelines: “He always looks relaxed.”
Although Klopp had also celebrated considerable successes at Borussia Dortmund, however: “There he did not have the player quality as now,” said Lizarazu, “and he made these players even better.” He also noted that Klopp’s game philosophy of “full gas” has prevailed over the past few years against Guardiola’s idea of ball possession: “The cycles in football are changing,” said Lizarazu, “Klopp’s football won against Guardiola. Today you have to to win, play directly. “
