And speaking with Liverpool’s official website, it appears as though he is keen to fit his new side into the same mould as his former charges and build a report with the Anfield faithful.

The 48-year-old was confirmed as the club’s new manager on a three-year contract as he replaces Brendan Rodgers, who was sacked last Sunday.
Klopp called for patience, pleading: “Please give us time”.
Klopp vowed to bring the Premier League title to Anfield within four years at his unveiling on Thursday and Ferguson says he has the character and personality to be a hit on Merseyside.
“I want to see the first step next week and not always compare with other times”. I’m not saying this year will be the best in the history of LFC, but if it happens we can celebrate this.
“You can’t carry your history in your backpack all day long”.
“For sure the Premier League is one of the most hard leagues in the world because five, six or seven clubs can be the champion and at the end only the one is the champion”.

Asked what attracted him to the club, Klopp said: “The intensity of the football”. Everything is there. Let’s try to start a new way. I want to listen. “I’m a normal manager and I want to work with the players on the pitch”, he said. I believe in the potential of this team. We have to think about what to change. “This is a great club because of many, many great decisions in the past, now we have to work in the present”.
Liverpool’s transfer committee has come under scrutiny in recent months with the club overspending on players such as Roberto Firmino, Dejan Lovren and Adam Lallana. I think this is the ideal moment to do this because now everything is different. For me it’s enough that I have the first and last word. “If you are this then it’s not so far away to be a team that can win games”.
“It’s really easy to handle this”.
“I’m a normal guy”.
“I am the Normal One”.

“But it’s not so important what people think when you come in”. But he knows what’s expected of him starting with his first game against Tottenham on Saturday, October 17.
