21 years, 327 days, 1,000 games for ‘Klopp’

Jürgen Klopp is one of the most popular football managers in the world. Since taking over at Anfield

On Saturday, Klopp completed his 1,000th game in charge. This is a very interesting number. with a normal human being with an unusual career path with working “walking” not How much do you “take the escalator” or “take the elevator”?

He started working in Germany with Mainz 05 when he took his first job at the age of 33 on February 28, 2001 or 2001, he led the army to a 1-0 victory over Duisburg in the Second Liga game.

It was a confusing time for the club after Wolfgang Frank, who had been with the club for two years, was sacked on April 17, 2000. Mainz then became even more confused.

Dirk Kakuth took over until the end of the season and left the team, then Rene Van Derecken, the coach from Belgium, came to work for only 4 and a half months and was fired. The team gave Manfred Loren. Z temporarily supervised the team. army until he got an experienced veteran like Echard Crotsun, who has overseen 29 clubs around the world, but he stayed with the team for only 3 months and jumped to take over the Tunisian national team. Some say Mainz sacked itself.

So it’s time for Jurgen Klopp, a very experienced right back who has been with the team for 11 years, to be in charge of the army since that day.

Klopp took charge of Mainz for a total of 270 games, followed by the “yellow shirt” of Borussia Dortmund for 319 games and managed Liverpool for a total of 411 games against Chelsea in a total of exactly 1000 games

To work for a total of 21 years and 327 days.

“I’m doing the job I love for the club I love,” Klopp said in his 1000th pre-match press conference. “I’m 100 percent happy, that’s how I feel. from the heart is I never thought about these kinds of numbers. I never thought I’d be a manager for that long, but I think it’s gone really fast. You have to work 22 years to get there.”

“I found out this week that my 1,000th game is going to happen, and when I heard, it made me think about starting in Mainz, starting in Dortmund. and start here In Liverpool… when you come in You never know how it will go. And I’m very lucky with how things turned out.”

“This number is truly insane. Now my beard is starting to turn grey! It wasn’t like that when I got here… I’m not sure if it was because of my age or because of Liverpool!”

“Getting to important places It’s a very big thing, I’ve been to 3 great clubs. that gave me the opportunity to do this job That’s what was going on in my mind.

He has won nine major trophies in his managerial career. That achievement includes the Bundesliga title 2. when at Dortmund Including victory in the Premier League and the Champions League with Liverpool.

Klopp says he still enjoys the role. but explains the importance of learning from the challenging times he has gone through.

“Not every game out of 1,000 is good and not every second is good. But overall, it’s going in the very right direction. what you learn in difficult times Is a football problem you have to solve with football. In every football situation there is a solution. it is so And I didn’t know this before. Of course it took me 22 years to fully learn it.”

Klopp insists, for me, this is the best job in the world. Not a relaxing job It’s not a job with lots of holidays. Or whatever, but I love it, I feel very happy. can be done and has been done Because it’s the only thing I can really do. It will be a very peaceful life. If you’re not or you don’t have to be a football manager. And I’m fine with the excitement, the pressure, the outstanding moments. and less good times This is part of the deal.

“No one wins all the time. I knew early on So I’m not expecting But I’m still trying to make the team win as often as I can.”

Klopp reflected on the “magic” when asked about the advice he would give himself. After embarking on his official training journey

“In the beginning in Mainz, if we had lost another one of those seven games, we would have been relegated. But we can win up to 5 games, it will be an amazing number then. because no one will remember that You play in the tier 3 league, which is equivalent to League One in England. If I had been sent off that day with Mainz, my coaching career would probably have ended before it even started… Fortunately, that didn’t happen.”

“Coming to the job I have today. It was completely different. The guide must be open-minded, active, attentive, curious to look around. And try to find a solution to the problem you don’t have right now. But there will be in the future.”

“The most important thing is to be busy. Because you have to learn the game by training. It’s like playing golf. Just when you think you understand The game tells you otherwise, you have to keep improving. And that’s what I love most about work. It wasn’t dull even for a moment. That’s the best thing you can say about your working life. It’s the best thing we can think of to do.”

Jurgen Klopp explained how it worked. It is completely different to when it started 22 years ago, because the world has completely changed.

“When I started as a manager, of course, the world had no smartphones, much less information. I had to analyze games from DVDs. When you want to know the thoughts of the outside world, you will have to inquire or read the newspaper. It’s quite easy to avoid criticism, so it’s no surprise that my generation is even yours. Only care about the opinions of people who really care about you.”

“We are now in the age of social media. Oh my God!!! The truth is that everyone without expertise has an opinion. Look back to the days when you wrote a letter to the newspaper and you won’t get any of these ideas published.”

“The best advice from a 55-year-old like me….the outside world doesn’t care too much. but knows how to work hard.”

… The path of man is crooked and straight. Klopp’s first year in charge paid little attention to him, as Liverpool were on their way to a ‘cup treble’ before it could be achieved under the late Gerard Houllier.

Klopp, on the other hand, has done his job too. Leading the team to win 6 out of the first 7 games before leading the team to successfully survive relegation by goal With only 3 points above the relegated team

With an aggressive team management style, it is known as counter-pressing, jaw-dropping or heavy metal football.

With a unique style full of color on the sidelines of Jürgen Klopp.

This is a living legend of a “Sai Pan” consultant………….
