This is all Liverpool fans wanted to see. A coach who knows how to bring the players and fans together. ❤️
We never asked for too much from the Dutch pep🤣. It really wasn't rocket science. 🔴
“The next departure is always tougher than the last one. This is the toughest I have had to deal with in my leadership of the newsroom.

🚨Jurgen Klopp on Liverpool 2-1 win against Athletico Madrid.
🎙️“This is absolutely impressive to watch, the intensity in the game is something awesome, with this attacking system being working perfectly, with Ngumoha moving on the wing perfectly to the left wing.”
“They don’t stop pressing just until the very end, that’s what Liverpool has always been in the past decade, I’m liking the fact that this is now the most exciting side we’ve been waiting to see.”
“And my opinion for this team is that they will go far in the champions league and in the premier league, they will finish at the top.”
🚨🎥 FULL Virgil van Dijk & Cody Gakpo post-match interview following Liverpool’s win over Ipswich Town!
🎙️ Interviewer: “Congratulations on the win, Virgil. Liverpool’s first Premier League victory of the season — would you say that was a complete performance from the team tonight?”
🗣️ Virgil van Dijk: “Yes, it was a good performance. We were more direct from the start, which was definitely what we wanted. We wanted to create danger in their areas, cause some chaos and compete for the second balls.
“With the quality we have, we scored some great goals. Cody was excellent as well. It was a good and important win, and now we look forward to the next game.”
🎙️ Interviewer: “How important was Cody Gakpo’s contribution, and how happy are you to have him with you this season?”
🗣️ Van Dijk: “His contribution has been huge, definitely. I said it before the transfer window closed — Cody is a very important player for us and he will be a key player this season.
“He showed that again today. He had a great performance and created a goal, just like he did last week. We’ll keep working together.”
🎙️ Interviewer: “Cody, some big praise from your captain. How happy are you with your start to the season and the level you’re playing at?”
🗣️ Cody Gakpo: “I think it was a great performance from us today. Of course, there are still things we need to improve, but it was a win we really needed.
“I’m very happy with the three points and with the performance”
🎙️ Interviewer: “I imagine Alexander Isak will be very happy with you — you’ve created all of his goals this season! Is there a special partnership developing between you two?”
🗣️ Gakpo, laughing: “We’ll see! As forwards, we train together all the time and try to understand each other better every time.
“Hopefully we can keep creating goals for each other. And now he owes me a few assists!” 😆🤣
🎙️ Interviewer: “We’ll make sure he knows that! Virgil, speaking about Alexander Isak — does it feel like you’ve signed a new player after the disappointment and frustration he experienced last season?”
🗣️ Van Dijk: “We never had any doubts about his quality. He suffered an unfortunate and difficult injury last season, and credit to him for the hard work he put in every single day to return as quickly as possible.
“I’ve said it many times: he will be an important player, and he certainly was today. He had a very good World Cup and an excellent pre-season, and he’s gradually getting back to his rhythm.
“We’ve experienced how difficult he is to play against, and now he’s going to show the world what he can do in a Liverpool shirt as well
🎙️ Interviewer: “A new-look Liverpool defence with some new faces and a clean sheet tonight. How important is that after the recent difficulties in keeping clean sheets?”
🗣️ Van Dijk, smiling: “It felt like we hadn’t kept a clean sheet in ages! So I’m absolutely delighted about it.
“We’ll go home now, recover, and our focus will turn to the Champions League.
🎙️ Interviewer: “And finally, Cody, you can hear the fans celebrating in the background. How would you describe the atmosphere in the team under Andoni Iraola, and what’s ahead for you?”
🗣️ Gakpo: “Hopefully, there are beautiful things ahead of us. Like Virgil said, we had a good pre-season together and now we have to build on that.
“Today we got our first win, and hopefully it will be the first of many. The support from the fans was exceptional as always, and we’ll build this success together.”
🎙️ Interviewer: “Congratulations to you both. We wish we had more awards to hand out, but we only have one Player of the Match award — and I think you both know who it went to… Alexander Isak.”
🗣️ Van Dijk: “He absolutely deserves it.” 👏
🗣️ Gakpo, looking around and laughing: “Where is he?!” 🏆😂
