Jurgen Klopp: I'm The Normal One 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Oct 9, 2015 4:05 pm

Jurgen Klopp was introduced on Friday to the media as manager of Liverpool.

Klopp was reminded of Jose Mourinho's "Special One" introduction and insisted he has no illusions of grandeur.

“I don’t want to describe myself,” he said.

“Does anyone in this room think I can do wonders? No. I am a normal guy. I come from the Black Forest. My mother is probably sat at home now watching this, not able to understand a word of what I am saying but very proud.

“I am the Normal One. I was a very average player, became a manager in Germany at a special club, Mainz, then I had a great opportunity to take Dortmund, a special club for seven years. For both parties it was best to leave and now I am here. I hope to enjoy my work. Everyone has told me about the British press so it is up to you to show they are all liars.”
