How Jurgen Klopp Changed Liverpool (And The Premier League) Forever

Показать описание

Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp-era has come to an end after 9 years. After inheriting a team floundering the league and disconnected from its fans, he leaves them having reclaimed the Premier League title, won the Champions Leauge, and picked up almost everything else there is to win along the way.

But how did an otherwise unassuming man from Stuttgart completely change the trajectory of one of England's biggest clubs, and why will his legacy in the league be felt for so many years to come? Adam Clery travels back to 2015, and charts the man's course through footballing history.

Hey everyone, you might be noticing that the sound is slightly different on this one. Basically we lost the *entire* audio file after recording and had to rebuild it using what was picked up from the two cameras and that new Apple AI tool. The result is... just about ok, we think? Anyway enjoy!

another thing to considers about Klopp time in Liverpool is that he made Liverpool v City THE football game to watch. Both sides regardless of form will ball the fuck out. So many top tier moment from this tide over the years

The fact Covid took away Liverpool and Klopp finally winning the premier league in front of a packed Anfield after 30 years and Leeds and Bielsa lifting the Championship trophy in front of a packed Ellend Road returning for the first time in 16 years is sickening.

We also came within 1 point of City in the 21/22 season AND were in the UCL final and Madrid. This Liverpool side came within 2 points of winning 3 league titles and were also in 3 Champions League Finals….. its still a great achievement but it was ever so close to being even better

Thank you! I’ve been saying it for years! It’s no surprise Klopp will be known for 2 clubs, Dortmund and Liverpool…. They are each others counterparts in their respective leagues. Massive clubs with insane fans, the 2 best stadiums in Europe for atmosphere, formerly great clubs that have long suffered under their wealthy arch rivals, the cities, the histories, the stories…. Those 2 clubs are cousins now with a new link… Klopp.

Never imagined the succes and elevation of club strenght when they hired him, and now the only manager I ever admired. Already so proud and glad to have lived and seen this period. May God give you a long and fullfilling life Herr Klopp ! ❤️

Ah seeing these clips of Salah, Bobby and Mane... just get floods of nostalgia. They were a special combination.

The greatness of Klopp's dynasty is besmirched by 115. If city are found guilty then you know there was only 1 great in the last 9 years at Prem.

Klopp did a great job at Liverpool
He made me so anxious anytime city would play Liverpool
And i respected it, they wete the opposite tho they had similarities with us, the do or die mentality on the field and competitiveness
We were more controlled and systematic with beautiful quick movement of the ball around the defense
Liverpool were the opposite, choas, more direct and didnt fear us one bit
The chemistry between both teams was perfect for amazing matches
Plus that front 3 was perfection

There's another stat that's often missed out regarding the difference those 11mm made when Stones cleared the ball off the line.

Not only would Liverpool have won the UCL-EPL double in 18/19, not only would they have been invincible domestically, they would have the longest unbeaten run in the English top flight.

Before that Man City match in Jan 2019, Liverpool had gone 21 league games unbeaten. Add that to the 44 that followed, and the Man City match had the ball gone 11mm more and ended 2-2, that would be 66 English Premier League games unbeaten between the 0-1 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in 6 May 2018 and the 0-3 defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road in 29 February 2020, the longest unbeaten run in English top-flight history, far surpassing the 49-game record set by Arsenal.

Thanks for the recap... We'll still be here for the slot era... I'm happy I experienced it all 😢

I feel bad we didn't enjoy the fab 4 ( Salah, Mane, Firmino and Coutinho) for long. They were glorious

I remember the situation when Rodgers first had Firmino, and it was a worry at first, he really struggled and the worry was there were too many no.10s who wanted the ball to feet and not enough runners in behind, and the pundits compared it to when Chelsea had 3 no.10s and one striker and why it doesn't work in football.
But to my surprise, Klopp put all 3 no.10s on the pitch as the front 3, Coutinho, Firmino, Lallana and he did make it work really well, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The strikers had injury problems anyway, but Firmino became the most important player in the system, and he was excellent as soon as Klopp came in

I love you bro. Seriously bro, You make a klopp video. You make my week best. Please make a mini series about this great guy

It's crazy how most of Klopp's seasons can be defined by one game and how different it could have been

- Champions League final - 17/18
- Premier League - Liverpool vs City - 18/19
- Premier League - Watford vs Liverpool - 19/20
We don't talk about - 20/21 - Apart from Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips
- Premier League - City vs Villa - 21/22

And how over that time Real Madrid has been the biggest thorn in our side in CL football.
