After the 5-2 FA Cup win over Norwich, Klopp's official departure at the end of the season, Liverpool's first game, Anfield, we saw not only an expected victory, but how much Klopp left us with a legacy when his Liverpool career was about to end.
Before the game, the opponent's head coach, Klopp's assistant and lifelong friend during his time at Dortmund, Wagner, strongly recommended Klopp to raise his noble hand and rotate a large area.
Klopp responded with a smile: "Well, even if it's a rotation, you still can't beat it." ”
Of course, this is just a joke, but Klopp still rotated according to the principles of the previous game, so after the teenager Bradley's recent appearance, we saw a fresh face on the court again - McConnell of 53.
When the Liverpool midfielder suddenly became Jones, Gravenberg, and McConnell, I don't know how you, as a senior Liverpool fan, feel?
However, when you see that Jones, who is about to turn 23, is really getting more and more mature, he is still excellent at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and can even play an exemplary role in the midfield, completing 1 pass and 1 shot;
When you see that the 22-year-old Gravenberch finally stopped running around like a headless fly, the small handling of the ball showed the brilliance that no one else had, and gradually began to cash in on his talent, and also scored one goal;
When you see the 19-year-old McConnell directing with precision on a couple of occasions and finding long balls behind him, he has the style of a big man and directs Liverpool's first goal, and this is only the first time he has started for Liverpool's first team in his career.
At this moment, what do you think about being surprised but full of surprise?
That's right, this is Klopp's usual operation, and it is also the biggest legacy that Uncle Scum left us during his tenure at Liverpool, from the early Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, to later Kelleher, Jones, Elliott, Bajcetic, and now Kwansa, Bradley, Clark, McConnell......
Over the years, Uncle Scumbag has either been cultivating newcomers or on the way to cultivating newcomers......
In an interview before the game, Klopp said affectionately - "The players are growing faster than I expected, I can't afford to bring anything to them, I can leave a decent team for Liverpool, it's time to leave......"
As Klopp said, before leaving, Uncle Scum left Liverpool such a valuable wealth - a group of young people who are enough to stand up for the backbone of Anfield in the next ten years, and this is the envy of many teams, Uncle Scum can indeed leave with his head held high and smiling.
Needless to say, the huge banners in the KOP stands, the deafening "Klopp, Klopp...", speak for themselves.
It's just that why I feel inexplicably sour in my heart, although I understand the bitterness of Uncle Scum's departure, but after all, my eyes are still full of reluctance......
