🚨🗣 Arne Slot on Liverpool’s current situation:
“I watched the last two games and I have to be honest, I wonder why Iraola keeps using so many young players like he's Klopp.”
“Then today I saw Jeff Bezos and the Facebook guy investing in #LFC. Tells you things are about to be good.”
“I’d definitely consider coming back to Liverpool one day, even if it’s as an assistant. I still have a lot of love for the club. My ringtone is YNWA.” 💀
🚨🗣 Jeff Bezos on buying 30%+ stake of Liverpool Football Club:
“I'm not coming to Liverpool to sit in the directors’ box and watch. I want to see the best players in the world wearing red.”
“Messi, Barcola, Olise, Ronaldinho, Yamal, Mbappé… if they all want to come to Anfield, we’ll have a conversation.”
“And if FSG asks me to stop spending, I’ll simply buy another 30%.”
🗣️ Nani: “One day Alex Ferguson asked us if someone could take him home after the weekend's game against Fulham. I said to him: 'Okay boss, I'll take you back, no worries'. 🚘
Then during the match, at 2-1, we got a penalty and I asked Giggs to let me take it. He accepted but I missed the penalty and Fulham equalized at 2-2 in the 88th minute... After the match, as planned, I took Sir Alex Ferguson home but he didn't speak to me the whole way.”
🚨🗣️ Sadio Mané on the one message from Jürgen Klopp that changed his decision choosing Liverpool over Manchester United :
“I had a meeting with Tottenham at the same time. Pochettino called and said, ‘I want Sadio to come to Tottenham.’
I went to Tottenham’s training ground, saw the facilities, met the coach and spoke with him. After that, I was actually more convinced by the Tottenham project than the Manchester United project.
At Manchester United, there were too many big players. For me, that was killing me.
But then Liverpool came into the picture.
I had already met Klopp when I was at Red Bull Salzburg and he was at Dortmund. We spoke about football and tactics. He knew me and understood the kind of player I was.
When Klopp called me about Liverpool, he said:
‘How are you?’
Then he told me, ‘We will build a team nobody wants to play against. We will grow together, and you will play every game.’
That was the killer line for me.
I wanted exactly that kind of project. I wanted to be part of a team that was going to grow together.
I asked him, ‘But you already have Firmino, Sturridge and other players…?’
He said, ‘No, you will play every game.’
I said, ‘Okay. I don’t want to know anything else. I just want to come.’
Klopp also explained the way he wanted us to play. He wanted players who could run, press, track back and sacrifice everything for the team.
I knew immediately that his style suited me.
So when Liverpool called and Klopp told me he wanted me, I made my decision.
I gave my word. I had other clubs interested in me, but I said, ‘No. I’m coming to Liverpool.’
At that time, Liverpool weren’t even in the Champions League, while some of the other clubs were.
But I believed in Klopp’s project.
And that decision changed everything.” ❤️🔴
