🚨🗣️ 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.” ❤️🔴
Barca has added Robert Lewandowski to its list of "Legendary Players" ❤️💙
He was only with the club for four seasons and entered the club's top 10 all-time scorers list.
It's now evident why Messi was so expressive & emotional after every goal and every win. He was going through one of the roughest time of his life & still managed to put a smile on billions of faces for an entire month. There simply will never be a bigger sporting icon than him.
