As part of a club documentary offering an inside view of his final days at Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp was asked by the filmmakers to stand alone on The Kop one afternoon and gaze out around Anfield. He did it, and didn’t particularly like it. “I love Anfield to bits,” Klopp said Friday, “but I love it when it’s full.” On Sunday, there won’t be a spare seat inside the storied stadium when Klopp takes charge of his final game as Liverpool manager after nearly nine years at the club. There might not be many dry eyes among the home fans, either. Klopp was the man who made Liverpool dream again. The man who led the team to seven major trophies — including a sixth Champions League title (“Let’s talk about six, baby,” he memorably sang) and a first English league championship in 30 years. The man who forged such a connection with the port city that he has been compared to Bill Shankly, the club’s most legendary manager. |
