In his final dressing room speech as manager of Liverpool, Klopp addressed his players.
Jurgen Klopp delivered one final dressing room speech to his Liverpool players after his side’s 2-0 win over Wolves on the final day of the Premier League season.
After the final whistle, the German manager of Liverpool oversaw his final match at Anfield, where he was honoured with a guard of honor and a unique farewell ceremony.
It was an emotional moment for Klopp, who even began a new chant for Arne Slot, his successor, to the tune of Opus’ “Live is Life.”
Several of his longest-serving players, including Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, gave emotional interviews about Klopp’s impact and legacy at Anfield as he prepares to depart.
And following the Wolves victory, the team and coaches did a lap of honor. The 56-year-old then gathered his players for his final meeting as Reds manager before giving an impassioned and stirring statement.
He declared, “I adore you. All I can say is that.
“I’m excited to see you grow and take the next moves.
“I mentioned this morning that those who argue that the seven trophies are insufficient are ignorant of football.
Was there anything we could have done better? Indeed, it is always feasible. Did we perform better than we would have expected? Yes, exactly. Since it takes time to regain your position as a top team, you accomplished that in this manner.
“We finished third in the inaugural Liverpool 2.0 season, and moving forward, we’ll have fresh external energy, new influences, fresh boosts, self-proving, and all these types of things. It’s beneficial for making the most of your career.
“All I want to say is that I adore you. I appreciate you providing the ride; it was very amazing.
“I’m so proud of you and honored to have been included in this. Many thanks for it.”
After that, the team erupted in thunderous ovation for their manager, who will now watch Borussia Dortmund vs. Real Madrid in the Champions League final on June 1 before taking a vacation from football.
It has been confirmed by Klopp that he would never manage in England. If the German decides to return at all, it will be some time before we see him on a touchline again, even though he hasn’t entirely ruled out accepting another management position.
