Liverpool FC reached new heights with a commanding 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, clinching the top spot in domestic football. This triumph allowed Liverpool to celebrate in front of their fans, a moment they missed during their 2019-20 Premier League title win under Jürgen Klopp. Just a day after this achievement at Anfield, Klopp took to social media to express his joy over the Premier League success.
Jürgen Klopp said: “Congratulations – YNWA. Thank You Luv [red heart emoji].”
Slot said: “Why did I do that? Because of what he did before I even arrived here. That’s something not one manager had ever done before. That is what definitely helped me but apart from that he helped me even more with the team he left behind and the culture he left behind in that team. The quality the players have was obvious for everyone but the culture of hard work, the culture of not only the players but also the staff members, has been incredible. That’s one of the reasons we could achieve what we have achieved this season. For obvious reasons, it was a nice moment to thank him as well.”
Jürgen Klopp said: “There’s 0.1 per cent thinking I should still be there as they are doing so well. I am watching as many games as I can as it is such good football, maybe the best-balanced team in the world right now. I am so happy I am not in charge right now to answer these questions and from my point of view, I hope all three extend, but they did not tell me.”
The victory over Tottenham marked a significant moment for Liverpool, not only for the win itself but also for the chance to celebrate with their supporters. Klopp, who has since transitioned to a head of global soccer role at Red Bull, reflected on his time at Liverpool with gratitude. His influence on the club’s culture and team spirit has been acknowledged by Slot, who praised the foundation Klopp left behind. The Liverpool squad, including players like Cody Gakpo, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Conor Bradley, joined in celebrating their former manager’s contributions.
Klopp’s new role at Red Bull involves overseeing operations related to their football teams, yet he remains an avid supporter of Liverpool, admiring their current form and team balance. His legacy at Liverpool continues to be felt, as the club enjoys success built on the strong foundation he established.
