The Beard of Jürgen Klopp has become grey since 8. October 2015, the day the German football coach rich put his signature under the contract with the tradition of Liverpool FC have continued – or, at least, for a media-effective photo with the former club boss Ian Ayre for stalking. As “The Normal One”, the Normal, he introduced himself at that time. Four years and about eight months later, The Successful One”, the Successful is Klopp “, and is on the verge of its greatest Triumph in England.
FC Liverpool needs only six points to become for the first time in 30 years the English football Champions and to win for the first Time ever, the Premier League. “As you have decided that more is being played, we were really happy,” said Klopp on Friday and reported Concerns and Doubts during the break.
In the first game after the Corona-break, the local Derby at Everton, want to go to the Reds this Sunday evening (20.00 hrs at Sky) the next step is then to make on Wednesday in a home game against Crystal Palace is the masterpiece perfectly.
“Stays healthy and stays at home!”
the defending champion Man City, who has 22 points behind the leader Should lose, on Monday evening, contrary to expectations, against the Burnley FC, would be before the Reds already while watching the masters. But the Liverpool Fans want hardly. It is already bitter enough, that you must not celebration time in or on the stadium, when three decades of yearning to have the Title finally come to an end.
“Stays healthy and stays at home!” Prior to the restart of the Premier League, Jürgen Klopp addressed a video message to the Fans. “It is completely different,” said the Coach about the games in front of empty stands, “but it is still football, and it is still for you.

In the first knockout round of the Champions League, the title holders lost the Outward and the return leg against Atlético Madrid. But who at the Merseyside care now?
In his presentation in Anfield Klopp asked for time to develop. “We need to be patient,” warned the coach who had brought with Borussia Dortmund twice the German championship and the DFB Cup. “I can promise not a title. But if we should meet again here in four years, we have won a title.“
Klopp was right. Unfortunately, the success in the Premier class was marred after a relatively unsightly final against League rival Tottenham Hotspur (2:0) easily, because the title was so missed. A point, the Team separated at the end from rivals Manchester City. Liverpool had only lost a single game at 3. January 2019, unfortunately, against the Citizens.
