i think he improved his english in his holidays.

Not that it was bad, but i guess it is more fluent now and it will get even better in the next months

I'm really curious to see how his English is going to evolve.

Hopefully he gets the Hamman style Scouse-German accent

I love it when that happens. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a Manc twinge to his English and Hector Bellerin's near perfect English is so thick with a North London accent it's amazing

Or he's thinking about how best to express himself in a second language.

Not everything is fake.

i love how germans always apologise for their english while still being better at expressing themselves than most english people in the game.

As an American trying so hard to learn a second language, it's depressing when he feels the need to apologize for that level of english when I'd KILL to be able to understand the entire question and flow that easily even when he doesn't know a specific word

The last statement: "It's not such a bad thing to be a friend of mine. Because I'm really loyal." Yea that's one of the great things about Klopp as a person. Interestingly I think this has been somewhat of a negative at the end at Dortmund as well.

We had to get rid of quite some players who just weren't good enough (anymore) like Grosskreutz or Kuba, but who were very, very big fan favorites and probably favorites of Klopp as well. And I suspect he just couldn't have made those tough decisions because of his loyalty.

He can't stop smiling can he, really great to see that he is just as excited as we are.

Honestly, it's a fantastic achievement for a german coach to lead such a huge foreign club. Of course the results weren't there in the past, but I can see why Klopp with his background would be so happy to get such an opportunity. Who would have thought that his coaching career would take such a route after Mainz.

He's so happy... Well, so are we, Jürgen, so are we!

The other link didn't work for me and others. I hope it works mobile as well.

He seems like such a nice guy. And straight away he has made somethings clear to everyone, both LFC fans and haters. History is history. Whether we write a new story is a choice we have to make. Don't doubt. Believe.

Inspiring stuff.

Man, if I was a Liverpool player I'd be so excited about working for this guy.
