Jurgen Klopp

Product Information

This was a good read as I got to learn about Klopp's history, his time at Mainz as a player and coach. He developed his 'gegenpress' style from the outset of his coaching days and has continued with it to the present day. And he's also good at protecting his players: “The Liverpool boss also reminded his men again about the pact he had made with them shortly after coming into the job in October 2015. ‘When you win, it’s down to you and when you lose, it’s down to me,’ he had told them in a bid to ease unspoken concerns about the new, complex and very demanding playing style.” Losing the Champions League is a disappointing season," Richards said. "Liverpool have been incredible but you look at winners, we are talking about the league being special and then the Champions League.

The Aston Villa boss told BT Sport: "Liverpool didn't do a lot wrong, just came up against a top goalkeeper and defence. Liverpool will dust themselves down and go again for everything next season." Ich bin seit über 20 Jahren BVB-Fan und da Jürgen Klopp eine sehr prägende Zeit in der jüngeren Vereinsgeschichte hatte war ich sehr gespannt auf seine erste Biographie, auch wenn ich sonst gar nicht in dem Genre unterwegs bin. It’s also fascinated me how a manager’s character can shape the neutral fan’s perception of a football team. Under previous Liverpool managers (especially Houlier) I found Liverpool quite dis-likable and certainly not a team I would root for. Yet under Klopp its hard not to have a soft spot for the free-flowing Liverpool team that plays in a manner Liverpool had plenty of chances in the first half against Real at the Stade de France, but found goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in outstanding form as the former Chelsea player made several superb saves. I found it fascinating how his Dortmund team lost some of their drive after 6 years of his management, not dissimilar to what Liverpool are experiencing now. 2021/22 will be a fascinating year as to whether Liverpool can regain their oomph as neither Mainz nor Dortmund managed it after losing their mojo.

Klopp was not involved at all in the writing of this book. Most of the statements or part's of statements are from other people who are more or less close to Klopp. The positive about this book is that you will learn the whole Klopp carrier as a player and as coach. Klopp comes across in the book in the same way he does on TV. He clearly has a huge work ethic and builds a very strong connection with his players. The access that Honigstein had to so many people close to Klopp at different times of his life and career gives a great insight into his tactics and his management. While the Reds complete the campaign with two trophies, Klopp admitted it was too soon for his players to be able appreciate what they have achieved. The Monday Night Club discuss whether Jude Bellingham is England's best talent since Paul Gascoigne, after he was named best young player at Monday's Ballon d'Or ceremony. I had decided on the title of the book long before writing down the very first word of it. Because it summarises everything that I wanted to explain: how Klopp’s human touch, faith in the principles of teamwork and true love for fellow human beings created a beautiful working environment.

Overall, I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in Klopp – and I can’t imagine why any football fan wouldn’t be interested in him! Bring the Noise' is a solid introduction to the man & his managerial and tactical philosophy but feels under-developed in all the crucial areas. As a Liverpool fan, one hopes a few more successful chapters will help to solve this problem for the next edition! Now, I know love is a strong word but even if he kills a puppy at this very instance, I bet every Mainz, Dortmund, and Liverpool supporter will still see him as a saint. That’s how much Klopp is loved by the entire city of Mainz, the entire city of Dortmund, and by Liverpool fans worldwide, and it is a testament to his great character. A real passionate coach and man, anywhere where he went,he built strong bounds with the fans, coz he believes that they're the key to success, to win and to change games. my biggest gripe with the book is that the final 1/3 is no more than a summary of liverpool seasons under klopp, considering the target audiance for this book is liverpoll/football fans the ending seemed unneccessary.This said, as a Liverpool fan, I can "see where he's going" with his selections, formations and applied strategy after gaining a greater understanding of the 'geggenpressen' philosophy and how this would translate into a pitch in England. It's one of the first literary accounts of sport's empty stadia (the 'applauseless air') during Covid times The book itself is very personal and intimate with lots of interviews from the people at the heart of the life and career of Kloppo. It gives a great insight to the man inside the manager. It is easy to see how he can motivate the teams to go above and beyond. The rather flat narrative of his team's results means that his poorer performances are never questioned - he stuggled to get Mainz promoted, faltering at the end of the season, and Mainz's relegation is excused as he had to sell some players. Although Dortmund were at a low ebb, they are still a massive German team, and the underdog story was taken a bit too far for a club of Dortmund's resources. That said, he did win the Bundesliga twice, which was an undeniably great achievement, but that doesn't excuse him of any criticism whatsoever. I tried to set out why Jurgen and Liverpool, not only as a club but as a city as well, are a match made in heaven.

while this book succeds in capturing the persona of the big german, it fails in many other respects. For football addicts, this book would have been fascinating because there were so many mentions of players and historical football tournaments the author made reference to. I couldn't follow these parts of the book, but what I really liked about the book is the author gave enough emphasis on how Klopp started, grew and learnt about the art of football and also about Klopp's superb character which nails him to be a great football manager. Sein Leben wird sehr sprunghaft erzählt, es wechselt ständig zwischen Mainzer, Dortmunder und Liverpooler Zeiten und der eigenen Jugend, was für mich nicht unbedingt die richtige Reihenfolge in einer Biographie ist und dabei hilft eine Person besser zu verstehen.But former Manchester City defender Micah Richards, speaking before the final, said it would be hard not to see failing to win the Champions League as taking the shine off an otherwise impressive campaign for the Reds. Whenever he speaks, you can sit down, listen carefully, and take the food for thought. Imagine if you are making research and writing about him every single day for nine consecutive months. I just could not stop the process. In the dressing room nobody feels it was a great season at the moment," Klopp added on BT Sport. "We maybe need a few hours for that. However, the book rarely delves too far into Klopp's management style, other than the extent to which he uses player stats in his management, which is not much. More coverage is given to the tactical changes during his playing career than during his management career, and there is too much of an emphasis on his team's results, rather than his role as manager - with the notable exception of his touchline antics.
