Pure and utter passion.
Jurgen Klopp is fully invested in Liverpool and when you say that, we don’t mean he’s happy enough saying that they’re exclusive. Christ no, this man has bought the ring, booked the venue, invited the guests and started painting the kids’ rooms he’s that besotted with Liverpool Football Club.
It’s not a fling. It’s not for kicks. He’s in this for the long haul. He sees Liverpool in his future.
On Wednesday night, the German welcomed his compatriots Hoffenheim to Anfield but they were treated with the same contempt as every visitor is under Klopp’s reign. They were treated as rivals.
And, before Liverpool’s defensive helped bring a more natural balance – you might call it a logical conclusion – to proceedings, the Merseyside outfit had raced into a 3-0 lead early doors and the manager blood loved it.
With one vicious swing of his fist and a passionate roar of, “THAT’S FOOTBALL!’ Klopp showed what he was all about.
