Asked what attracted him to the club, Klopp said: “The intensity of the football”.

The German wants to harness that hope and optimism to push the team forward but insists it will take time to turn around things at a club which has finished second just three times in 24 years.
“It is interesting that nobody is satisfied or patient”. We think so, and here are FIVE reasons why! That is my job.
“Nobody wants to transfer a player without a yes from me”. We will find a common way and who wants to do what I sometimes propose!
‘It is a great feeling for me, a great honour and one of the best moments in my life. “And it is not so bad a thing to be a friend of mine”.
“Let’s not forget Liverpool has not won the championship since 1990”. Can Klopp get the best from him?
“That’s what we did but they are not the same players [here]”. We have good defenders, strikers and midfielders.
Klopp’s first game as Liverpool manager is on October. 17 against Tottenham at White Hart Lane. “If you are this then it’s not so far away to be a team that can win games”.
“We have to change from doubter to believer”. Nobody’s satisfied at this moment but sometimes that’s only because you don’t see the big step.
Speculation has persisted that Liverpool’s use of a transfer committee to sign players was a sticking point in Klopp’s negotiations.
“For me it is enough that I have the first and the last word”, the 48-year-old German said. I played a lot of tennis, watched football all over the world. It is really easy to handle.
“We would like to place on record our honest thanks to Brendan Rodgers for the significant contribution he has made to the club and express our gratitude for his hard work and commitment”, a statement from FSG read.
The press conference is slated to start at 10am United Kingdom time. We can be successful in a special Liverpool way but we have to wait.
Klopp won two Bundesliga titles in seven seasons with Borussia Dortmund. It’s only important that we play our own game.

“Strong personality, very strong, very stubborn, determined and his performances, and his career at Dortmund was a stellar rise to the top and I think he’ll do very well”.
