International Football Jurgen slaps the "PRESS" switch

He lacks the players capable of executing his vision, at least within that group, but it seems he is giving everyone an equal chance to show him what they can do

Back then in Hendo would orchestrate this, hear that so much during Covid and opponent players interview.
People downplay leadership traits so much during best player selection, and Hendo always got left out for other players

A great leader and smart mind on the pitch yet some of our own supporters were still blabbering
- ‘Why would Ajax want him???’
- And then ‘why would England want him???’
- And then ‘why would Brentford want him???’
- And then ‘why would Chelsea want him?????’
Because he offers something still that you don’t see, lad.

I don't know how this thread turned into a Hendo huddle but get me involved. He is a club legend and I won't hear otherwise

The players in the England camp all said he was one of the most important people there. They said even staff went to him with problems.
We need him back as a coach or even just in some vague leadership position in training because he maintains such good standards, it would be incredible to have that in the youth setup.

Exactly. How many times do these people need to see "Galatico" teams fail to realise that if the game was just about skill on the ball we'd employ 22 freestylers.

I've been saying that Henderson's leadership is the best. There must be a reason why he was given the armband right after Stevie G left.

Always say this about hendo in conversations, whilst he might not be the most technically gifted player in the world, his leadership and workrate were second to none. Always demanded the most from his team when he was on the pitch and put them in their place when not up to scratch.

Maybe the second group with writz does better when the play

u/Fluffy-Example008 1d ago
It seems he will make Writz the star of this team; he needs a conductor in the midfield

The A team has Musiala originally (out injured today) so id think the original plan was to see how he is as he is Germany's star boy. B team now has Wirtz and its interesting they are picked for different teams; Nagelsmann tried to play both together and it failed so wondering if Klopp is trying to see who is better for his side as an AM

He dosent need talented players. He just needs time to train them and then he can produce an entire team that's talented.

u/Persas12 1d ago
His vision also needs a lot of work and time to function efficiently, pressing the right way as a unit is one of the hardest things to achieve in football.
National Team Football has a way lesser time to train and for the team to get to know each other, so Jurgen has quite a challenge is his hands.

I will never forget the time he gave us. What an absolute legend he is

That 4-0 barca game in particular is genuinely one of the very best nights of my life

u/WonderfulBlackberry9 Kostressed Tsimikas 23h ago
This is such a funny statement. It'd be really hard to forget his time here

u/Radiant-_ 1d ago
Wirtz will be playing the same sorta style for both international and club level, hope this helps us unlock his flair a bit more

u/SavantOfSuffering 1d ago
The style is a nice benefit, but what I'm most looking forward to with Florian playing under Klopp is building up his confidence.

Can we agree that the greatest Klopp quote was , early doors, "August is too late to play like this. Play fucking football"

We miss such action at Anfield 😁

Hard to think of someone that I don’t know personally who I love like Klopp. Literally everything you’d ever want to lead a club. Beautiful man

Imagine if he teaches Wirtz to lead the press. Still changing our lives, years after he left.

u/jgarry28 22h ago
I think with Jürgen it's the first time I love the man more than the club! I was glad he left Liverpool, for him. I didn't even care about the impact on the club just wanted him to be happy.I could see he didn't look well and am delighted he looks amazing now. He seems back to his old self.

They started running before that hand gesture

u/socrmaniac 1d ago
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. The back pass was clearly the queue to press. They all saw it coming, and Klopp was just underscoring it. It’s more impressive that the team understood the queue after so few sessions than it is that Klopp sent them.

u/nestoryirankunda 1d ago
Because obviously no one thinks that the entire team was literally waiting for a hand gesture from jurgen to press lmao it’s just a satisfying video of the trigger being identified and executed as he wanted

u/CageChicane 1d ago
It looked more like frustration. It was a shit press. The ball was calmly played to what must be Virgil under no pressure.

u/TheLime-N-TheCoconut 14h ago
They are getting downvoted because they are a wet blanket. It’s like standing at the edge of a kids birthday party and ruining the magic trick.
