Jurgen Klopp revealed his excitement about Liverpool's future as he prepared to bid farewell to the Reds on Sunday.
Jurgen Klopp's nine-year partnership with Liverpool will end after Liverpool's meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday. Before that, Klopp wrote an emotional letter to the fans, looking back on the past and looking forward to the future.
"Of course, this is my last game as Liverpool manager," Klopp wrote in the final minutes of the programme. "It's something you've known months ago, and I've known for a little longer, but as far as I know, it's the right time for me to leave, and I know it's going to take some getting used to. If the starting point is the announcement, then the next big step in the future is Sunday. ”。
"If space allows, I could write down the names of the people I need to be thankful for, but there's never been a game plan of this scale, so I have to be more general. I am very grateful to the players, past and present, who have served the club in the nine years that I have been here. ”。“ What they have achieved during that time is exceptional, not only in the moments they have created and the success they have achieved, but also in the way they have emphasised the representation of Liverpool. ”
After paying tribute to the players and staff who are also set to leave at the end of the season, Klopp insisted he was looking forward to seeing what life would be like for new owner Arne Slot.
'The biggest positive for Liverpool is that the club is still in a very, very good position no matter who leaves,' he continued. "This season we aim to be on the moon and end up being a star, which is never too bad, and the rest of the players and staff are top class.
"Yes, they will have a new leadership soon, but this is a club that is ready to move in a new, exciting direction, not a club that is ready to end this journey." This is the Liverpool I've always known – a club full of journeys and adventures, some ending in trophies, others not, but no matter what happens, there will always be memorable stories and moments.
"We've been fortunate to have quite a few players in my tenure and it's important for me to emphasise that everything we do is always based on stable, smart and creative ownership. Again, I'm very grateful for that, but I'm also excited because I know this is going to continue, which can only be good news for Liverpool Football Club. ”。
"Finally, I have nothing but gratitude and love for my supporters. Everything we do is because of you, because of you, for you. I have mentioned many times the banner on Kop that says that unity is strength, and I think this is a belief that we all live up to. ”。
"Now it is important that it continues so that my successor can benefit as much as I do. I'll be a supporter after Sunday as well, so hopefully I can play my part in that. ”。“ Never have I ever walked alone. You will never walk alone. Liverpool will never go it alone. ”
