shortly but first one story has

play01:00

dominated the sporting landscape over

play01:02

the past few days Jurgen klopp will be

play01:04

leaving Liverpool at the end of the

play01:06

season and this is how the news broke

play01:09

when the manager spoke to James

play01:12

Carol ah yeah I have

play01:15

to

play01:18

um I will leave the club at the end of

play01:22

the

play01:24

season I can understand that it's

play01:28

uh

play01:30

a shock for a lot of people in this

play01:32

moment when you hear it the first time

play01:34

and um but obviously I can explain it or

play01:38

at least try to explain it

play01:41

um

play01:43

and I I love absolutely everything about

play01:48

this club I love everything about the

play01:50

city I love everything about our

play01:53

supporters I love the team love the

play01:55

stuff love everything that I still take

play01:58

this decision probably will or shows you

play02:03

that I'm convinced it's the one I have

play02:06

to

play02:07

take um it is that

play02:12

I'm what how can I say that I'm running

play02:16

out of

play02:17

energy um I have no problem now

play02:20

obviously I think I I I know it already

play02:23

for for longer uh that I will have to

play02:27

announce that at one point but um I'm

play02:30

absolutely fine now but I um know that I

play02:35

cannot do the job again and again and

play02:39

again and again

play02:42

and after all the years we had together

play02:45

and after all the time we spent together

play02:47

and after

play02:48

all the things we went through together

play02:52

um the respect grew for you the love

play02:56

grew for you and the least thing I owe

play02:59

you is the truth and that's the truth

play03:02

you obviously offered a lot of detail in

play03:05

that first answer but I'm sure you

play03:07

appreciate how big this news is for our

play03:09

supporters so we'll drill down into some

play03:12

of the topics and the reasons behind

play03:14

your decision I think the first thing

play03:16

fans will want to know is as something

play03:18

happens are you okay I'm okay I'm

play03:22

healthy so as much as you can in my age

play03:25

uh little bibs and Bops stuff like that

play03:27

but um nothing anybody has to be

play03:29

concerned about so that's absolutely

play03:32

fine it's um I told the

play03:36

club already in

play03:39

November it is that I

play03:42

um I have to explain a little bit the

play03:45

the the the maybe the job I I I do it's

play03:48

people see from the outside I'm on the

play03:50

touchline training session stuff like

play03:52

this but obviously the majority of all

play03:54

the things happen around these kind of

play03:55

things um that means a season starts and

play03:58

you plan pretty much much the next

play04:00

season already and

play04:02

um when we sat there together talking

play04:05

about

play04:06

potential signings and the next summer

play04:09

camp and can we go wherever I just

play04:13

realized I'm

play04:14

not I I I the thought came up I'm not

play04:19

sure I'm then here anymore and I was

play04:23

surprised by myself about that and then

play04:25

I I started obviously thinking about it

play04:27

and um it was all it started not it

play04:30

didn't start but of course last season

play04:32

was kind of a super difficult season and

play04:34

for me was super super super important

play04:38

that I can help to bring this team back

play04:42

on the rails it was all I was thinking

play04:46

about and when I realized pretty early

play04:50

okay that happened then

play04:54

I could start thinking about myself

play04:56

again and that what that was the outcome

play04:58

and um it's it's not what I want

play05:01

to um it's just what I think is 100%

play05:04

right um

play05:07

and yeah yeah that's it are you at all

play05:11

concerned this news could have a

play05:13

negative impact on the remainder of the

play05:15

season I understand the question 100%

play05:18

that's up to us I would say I'm 100% in

play05:22

the season and we can go through I think

play05:23

we have in is world we have kind of 30

play05:26

games coming up or something like that

play05:28

that's in other countries a full season

play05:29

so there are so many things out to play

play05:31

for the way we grew together in the last

play05:33

few years um is is absolutely

play05:35

exceptional absolutely exceptional and I

play05:37

always said it and especially now it's

play05:40

still true nothing has to happen because

play05:43

of me so nobody has to make the games

play05:45

now about me please don't if I can ask

play05:48

for that it would be really nice um

play05:51

and we just support each other and I'm

play05:54

fully here I I don't think anybody

play05:56

realized any difference uh in the last

play05:59

few months if there may be a positive

play06:03

change um because I have to say when I

play06:06

made the decision as hard as it is this

play06:07

was a relief as well it was like okay I

play06:11

um I I there will be is a Finishing Line

play06:14

and not for not being here anymore if I

play06:16

could stay here and and uh in that role

play06:18

I would be over the moon I just can't

play06:21

and that's that's it I really want to

play06:27

um perform on the high highest level and

play06:30

um we get only Disturbed if we let it

play06:32

happen as a as as as a club and um I

play06:36

really hope that it will not happen with

play06:38

the team I'm I'm sure um that they that

play06:41

they will be fine um with the crowd I'm

play06:44

sure will be fine but um the world out

play06:47

there is bigger and the social media

play06:48

world and all these kind of things um

play06:50

but I think it's worth that we really do

play06:53

what we always did we live in a moment

play06:55

we we we push each other as much as we

play06:58

can and we go for absolutely everything

play07:00

I just want to come back to your love

play07:02

for the city of Liverpool you said

play07:04

something recently and I think our

play07:06

supporters would quite like to hear what

play07:08

you said it was about what getting the

play07:10

freedom of the city meant to

play07:13

you getting the key of the city is one

play07:16

of the special moment most special

play07:18

moments of my entire life that I never

play07:20

expected something like this to happen

play07:23

makes you more special because I didn't

play07:24

even know that you have something like

play07:26

that when I got it when I heard the

play07:28

speeches when I when I saw the ceremony

play07:30

and all these kind of things it was so

play07:31

special it was incredible um and made me

play07:35

an honorable liver pudle and so or scow

play07:38

however you want to see it and um I

play07:40

couldn't be more proud on that but there

play07:42

are so many things and I'm that's not

play07:44

the moment to to talk about the

play07:48

fantastic time we had because I actually

play07:51

this wonderful book we wrote together

play07:54

since we are here together um I I I

play07:58

would love to

play07:59

put a few more chapters um into it a

play08:03

message to supporters I really I really

play08:05

would

play08:07

like you to accept the decision that

play08:10

would be nice and then if I can ask for

play08:13

one more for one more thing after

play08:17

telling you don't sing my song too early

play08:21

after telling you be loud in the stadium

play08:24

stuff like I could ask you for one more

play08:25

thing it would be don't make these these

play08:28

games about me

play08:30

because there's no need for we always

play08:31

knew and the only thing I always wanted

play08:33

is the full support for the team it's

play08:35

not for me I know about our relationship

play08:37

I don't need any kind of proof we will

play08:40

have a

play08:41

moment maybe last match day here or

play08:44

somewhere else I mean in other countries

play08:48

or other competitions there's enough

play08:50

time to do these kind of things let's

play08:52

now really go for it the outside world

play08:54

want to use that this decision love

play08:59

about it blah blah blah want to do want

play09:01

to make want to disturb

play09:03

us we are Liverpool we went through

play09:07

harder things together and you went

play09:09

through harder things before me and

play09:13

let's make a strength of it that would

play09:14

be really cool let's squeeze everything

play09:16

out of this season um and have another

play09:19

thing to smile about when we look back

play09:22

in the future thank you there aren't

play09:26

many interviews on which you hang

play09:29

on every word but that is certainly one

play09:32

the news on Friday I think blindsided us

play09:35

all it's still difficult to try and take

play09:37

in fully um but you can't argue Tomo

play09:41

with the impact that J klopp has made

play09:43

here so far and the difference he's made

play09:47

he's made a massive difference and that

play09:49

that interview you're quite right Mark

play09:51

because where was look we always listen

play09:54

a great wonder how he finds the words

play09:58

and he he's not a politician he's not an

play10:01

actor he's not he's looking straight

play10:03

down the camera with all his answers and

play10:06

there so much drama with it there's so

play10:09

much passion with it there's so much

play10:11

honesty with it you just you're

play10:14

absolutely ignore of him the way he

play10:17

delivers everything I think that's the

play10:19

big thing that we've had from Jurgen and

play10:22

we've loved every interview with L he's

play10:24

been fantastic for the premier league

play10:26

but what he's brought to us as fans of

play10:30

our club is extra special that bonds

play10:33

between fans manager staff players has

play10:37

been brought even closer together than

play10:40

ever since those 70s and 80s that we've

play10:43

all talked about you see here with his

play10:46

passion with his

play10:48

commitment to Liverpool and it's been

play10:51

special it's been special and then

play10:53

there's the players what this guy has

play10:56

given us he's given us but what he he's

play10:59

done for their careers made them good

play11:01

plays into great players not just the

play11:03

fans believing but the players believing

play11:06

in what they can do and he all these

play11:08

accolades that are coming his way he

play11:10

thoroughly deserves because he's given

play11:12

it to us we need to give it back to him

play11:15

in this you know in the games that are

play11:17

remaining he said in the interview Tash

play11:21

he's running out of energy he said in

play11:22

his press conference later he says this

play11:23

isn't a job that you can do on three

play11:25

wheels so in some ways you can kind of

play11:28

understand why he's decided to take a

play11:30

step back because he's put so much and

play11:31

we saw in the pictures so much of

play11:33

himself into this job since he walked

play11:35

through the door yeah absolutely and I

play11:37

think he has he's invested so much for

play11:39

himself not just on the pitch with what

play11:41

he's brought us silverware wise but off

play11:43

it you know he's an adopted Scout now

play11:45

you know he is one of us and and I think

play11:48

you can see that in the way that he

play11:49

speaks way he is with the fans I mean

play11:51

I've never met him and when I heard the

play11:52

announcement I I really choked up you

play11:55

know and I think that just shows the

play11:56

impact he's had he said when he came

play11:58

here he wanted to leave the club in a

play11:59

better place and wow he has and we're

play12:01

just so lucky I'm honored that I've been

play12:03

here to be able to witness him being our

play12:05

manager and I really hope in some sort

play12:07

of way he can be an ambassador or he can

play12:09

come back and stay involved within the

play12:10

club that's what I would love yeah we

play12:12

were chatting sort of just prior to

play12:14

coming on her Tom when I was saying to

play12:16

you this is one of those landmark

play12:18

moments in the club's history isn't it

play12:20

and we go back to the impact when when

play12:23

shankley walked away the impact when

play12:25

Kenny stepped down this is alongside

play12:28

those moments oh it's seismic it really

play12:31

is and I was there 20 year old just in

play12:34

the side just changing the way Liverpool

play12:36

played under Bill shankley thinking that

play12:38

the years ahead are going to be

play12:40

fantastic and then it was cut short he

play12:43

retired and it wasn't spoke about this

play12:46

all sort of Saturday and Friday when we

play12:49

had the news but then the with Kenny

play12:52

daglish after the 44 how close he was

play12:56

with Kenny's values what he had had with

play12:59

the club shank's values and this guy has

play13:01

done it you know but this guy's not

play13:04

British this guy is German and he's

play13:08

coming here and I think it's one of the

play13:09

biggest things that you can say is the

play13:12

great values that the man

play13:14

has it goes exactly with the fans and I

play13:18

I say if you cannot just get the club if

play13:21

you get our values if you understand us

play13:24

we together can do dramatic things and

play13:28

that's exactly what he has brought us

play13:31

he's G us some great moments you know

play13:33

all I things 30 years of ha ended

play13:36

another European Cup done and dusted and

play13:40

he just he he give and and as the song

play13:42

goes what he promised he delivered well

play13:44

that's the thing though isn't it Tash

play13:46

it's not just about getting the club

play13:47

getting the city it's about winning

play13:49

things as well that's what this place is

play13:50

about and he's certainly done that you

play13:52

look at the fact he was able to bring

play13:53

the Premier League title look at his

play13:55

record in the Premier League only City

play13:56

have picked up more points in the

play13:58

Premier League since CL came into the

play14:00

club you can't argue with with what he's

play14:02

done no and I think that almost comes

play14:05

second but I think I think exactly what

play14:07

Phil said is that he came here and look

play14:09

it wasn't something that just happened

play14:11

overnight you know he invested in the

play14:12

players and I think that's the most

play14:13

powerful thing with cl when I look at

play14:15

him and his relationship with the

play14:16

players he puts the players first then

play14:18

the player and I think that's the most

play14:20

powerful thing his man management skills

play14:22

the way that he tactically this season

play14:24

for me has been phenomenal with some of

play14:25

his decision making during games his won

play14:28

US games was just on his own actually as

play14:30

a managerial decision making but you

play14:32

spot on but then moving on to that he

play14:34

has brought success the Premier League

play14:36

the Champions League all those things

play14:38

and obviously he's going to be

play14:39

remembered for that but I think more

play14:40

than anything he'll just be remembered

play14:42

for the person he was you know and all

play14:43

of that is just an added bonus only

play14:45

Kenny in his first spelling charge has a

play14:47

better win percentage than Jurgen klopp

play14:50

and I think the key thing from what he's

play14:52

done here it's not just the fact he's

play14:53

taking a group to the end of the run and

play14:55

then he's walking away with with the

play14:57

place in a mess the infr struct is

play14:59

better the the the building blocks are

play15:01

in place whoever comes in next inherits

play15:03

a great Squad with huge potential ready

play15:05

to go on to the next charge I think that

play15:08

that's had a little bit to do with it

play15:10

because I think the recruitment has been

play15:14

probably better and settle better than

play15:16

what he thought if You' have said to me

play15:18

the middle this time last year I'd have

play15:21

maybe got it cuz after after going for

play15:23

the four Trophies the season before the

play15:26

players were drained I looked at Jen and

play15:29

I thought he was drained and it took so

play15:32

much out of him but this season with the

play15:35

sence I think he's been rejuvenated he's

play15:37

gone wow these have settled in really

play15:39

quick we're playing the brand of

play15:40

football again these Lads have brought

play15:42

energy back I can now leave I can do my

play15:45

bit and I've done my bit and how can I

play15:48

plan for the future when I don't feel

play15:50

that I've got it so I do think he looks

play15:53

at this squad and I think he's leaving

play15:55

us in a better position than what he

play15:57

even thought

play15:59

okay guys well as the manager said in

play16:00

his interview it is business as usual

play16:03

though and the business at hand here

play16:05

today of course is a fourth round FA Cup

play16:07

clash with Norwich City McDow now has

play16:10

the details of Liverpool's starting

play16:13

lineup yeah it's always been the most

play16:15

dramatic of ups and downs hasn't it

play16:17

where supporting Liverpool has been

play16:19

concerned but the roller coasters had

play16:21

the steepest of ups and downs this week

play16:24

but if we play our cards right we still

play16:25

could have 30 games with Jurgen klopp in

play16:28

charge and that Min season of course

play16:30

starts today he's already negotiating

play16:32

Chelsea then arsenal of course norch

play16:34

today is the jam in the swi so what does

play16:37

he have at his disposal reinforcements

play16:39

on the way Thiago back training and uh

play16:42

when we take a look at this substitutes

play16:43

bench you will see that those

play16:45

reinforcements of real experience are on

play16:48

the way let's take a look at the team

play16:49

then the headline being that there's

play16:50

five changes from that team that secured

play16:53

that Wembley final Allison returns in

play16:55

goal as that dream anfield start for

play16:58

James McConnell in that Liverpool

play17:00

Midfield today sober slide Trent

play17:02

Alexander Arnold not played since

play17:04

January the 7th and Andre Robertson are

play17:07

amongst the Liverpool substitutes so the

play17:09

11 Allison Gomez canate who got his last

play17:13

goal in the FA Cup at Wembley against

play17:14

Man City Nunes Jones gakpo jotter

play17:18

grenberg McConnell uh quano who's 21

play17:22

tomorrow by the way Chang those summer

play17:23

plans of Jurgen klopp with how his

play17:26

progression has really come along like a

play17:28

dream and uh and Bradley who again has

play17:30

just been imperious the last couple of

play17:32

weeks made his debut against Norwich in

play17:34

the league cup and then the substitutes

play17:35

bench just screams experience doesn't it

play17:37

kellerer who has to take a break for

play17:39

this game Virgil Van djk Diaz soas slly

play17:42

this will be his first appearance in the

play17:44

FA Cup Elliot Robertson Clark Beck and

play17:48

Trent Alexander Arnold back in the squad

play17:51

as well so five wins from Seven away

play17:53

from home imperious home form as well

play17:56

you do have the feeling that we could

play17:57

really do with a straightforward win

play17:59

here this

play18:02

afternoon thank you Pete the Norwich

play18:04

team is just breaking as well changing

play18:06

goal for them long coming in for Angus

play18:08

gun Stacy Hanley Gibson mallum Nunes

play18:12

mlan Sarah Hernandez fash and barn so

play18:15

maybe by my Reckoning maybe four changes

play18:17

or so from that side that lost to lead

play18:19

United in their last outing it will

play18:22

drill into their team in more detail

play18:23

though through the course of the show H

play18:25

in terms of our team I guess McConnell's

play18:28

illusion Tash is the headline what a

play18:30

huge opportunity from his first start

play18:32

what a stage what an opportunity he gets

play18:34

today yeah absolutely and fully deserved

play18:36

um you know with my new role as an

play18:38

ambassador I've been working at the

play18:39

Academy a lot and I've been following

play18:40

his processes with the under 21s and

play18:43

he's been performing really well week in

play18:44

week out for them so I thought a start

play18:46

or an involvement would be soon but what

play18:49

a great opportunity at anfield in front

play18:51

of the ground obviously off the back of

play18:52

the clock news so I'm sure the crowd's

play18:54

going to be louder than ever um and I'm

play18:56

sure he's going to take it like all the

play18:57

youngsters have done every single one of

play18:59

them that stepped onto the pitch have

play19:00

played beyond their years and I'm sure

play19:02

he will yeah that's another Legacy of

play19:04

Youngs is the way he's been willing to

play19:07

give young players a chance and the

play19:09

faith he's put in them and also how he's

play19:11

utilized them to get the success he had

play19:13

he's he's eak every little bit out of

play19:15

the group he's had well he has and he he

play19:17

makes no secrets and and you feel that

play19:19

love don't you when you're listening to

play19:20

him after the game you tonight the way

play19:22

he's talking about Bobby Clark the way

play19:24

he's talking about Quanza you just go

play19:27

like that you think you know this this

play19:29

fell has got he getting the word invest

play19:32

great faith in them I think if you've

play19:34

got the trust you can actually go out

play19:36

and play James today will be thinking oh

play19:38

my goodness he does and it's not just

play19:41

like he's getting thrown in from the

play19:43

academy he's been training with the

play19:44

first team for quite a while so he gets

play19:47

to know them on a personal side and so

play19:50

that when he comes in today he's an

play19:52

equal he's ready to sort of perform and

play19:55

it's not just change Ben does of this

play19:57

world Bobby Clarks Connor Bradley

play20:00

everybody he gives these Lads a chance

play20:03

and you just go Jal Quanza how good is

play20:06

he been and he just it can roll on

play20:09

because you can go back to when Trent

play20:10

fair started and it was just magnificent

play20:13

so this is what he is leaving us not

play20:17

just a great sort of first team squad

play20:18

but his boys there ready to step up no

play20:21

better place done to play and make your

play20:24

debut at home are you surprised at all

play20:27

Tash that that he's not put Annie

play20:29

Robertson in from the start and giving

play20:31

Joe Gomez sort of half an afternoon off

play20:33

or it's part of the reason he's not the

play20:35

fact that Joe has played so well maybe

play20:36

Joe wants to keep playing yeah I think

play20:38

from the start it's always a little bit

play20:39

risky you know the high tempo of the

play20:41

game so I think you'll definitely see

play20:43

Robinson maybe get you know normally

play20:45

when you come back from an injury it's

play20:47

maybe 30 minutes then you build up to 60

play20:49

75 and then you get your full 90 that's

play20:51

what tends to happen with the sport

play20:53

sence side of things so I think Robo

play20:55

should get either maybe second half or a

play20:57

good third minutes today but Gomez has

play20:59

been brilliant like you said left side

play21:01

right side played that inverted Midfield

play21:03

role and you know it's great to see

play21:04

someone that's playing with so much

play21:06

confidence with a big smile on his face

play21:07

I thought he might have started him

play21:09

today so that is's warm and he's ready

play21:11

to to start no problems with the way it

play21:14

is because Joe Gomez has been terrific

play21:17

uh and I you could see from Wednesday

play21:20

night van djk and K Quanza at center

play21:24

backs and you knew today because with

play21:27

the two big big games coming up that it

play21:30

would be IU canate and Gerald Quanza

play21:33

playing today so you could more or less

play21:35

see that change so he is looking ahead

play21:38

but my goodness the bench is looking

play21:39

strong and as we heard there players

play21:42

coming back from

play21:43

injury it's interesting we look at

play21:46

what's happened with the recent games

play21:48

and just touched on the fact that that

play21:50

uh Gomez starts today Quanza played in

play21:52

midweek but K Quanza has actually been

play21:53

one of the real success stories because

play21:55

the way he's sort of come in now nobody

play21:57

bats an island if he plays now cuz he's

play21:59

been so assured it's unbelievable isn't

play22:01

it it really is and I think Phil makes a

play22:03

great point it's it's how the manager

play22:04

makes you feel and the players around

play22:06

him you see when he makes a tackle

play22:07

you've got Virgil Van djk Trent all

play22:09

those experienced players going up to

play22:11

him high-fiving him getting around him

play22:13

they've got a real brotherly

play22:15

togetherness this year and Quan are on

play22:17

the ball you know I think it's a huge

play22:18

compliment to him that everyone was

play22:20

talking before the season we need to

play22:21

sent a half we need to Center half and

play22:23

now klopp saw that the kid playing

play22:25

preseason he's like we don't need a

play22:27

center half you and he's not put a foot

play22:29

wrong really since he's played and I can

play22:30

say that honestly through all the kids

play22:32

that have come through and I think it's

play22:33

credit to Alex inglethorp the academy

play22:36

what they're doing there you you don't

play22:38

get a chance with the first team unless

play22:39

you pass the academy you know and I

play22:41

think it's just brilliant to see so many

play22:42

coming through now you see these clips

play22:45

there there's a variety of things there

play22:47

what he does how composed he is out on

play22:50

out on the left wing T and making making

play22:53

good decisions is assist for the goal

play22:57

which is across ball Al van DJ he has

play23:00

brought so much he he's a great one

play23:02

there which people wouldn't have seen

play23:04

was just from the halfway line the play

play23:07

trying to play a pass into the center

play23:09

forward and he's ready early not too

play23:12

early and won the

play23:14

ball what comes across his is his

play23:16

composure and to play at this level so

play23:19

young i' seen it in at the Academy when

play23:23

he was playing there this boy possesses

play23:25

so much quality in what he do he is a

play23:29

proper Liverpool player never ever looks

play23:32

flustered I think that's the thing that

play23:33

stands out most of all okay guys well
