“I don’t miss the dressing room in that context, but sitting in a restaurant with the players talking freely, I appreciate that. With many victories meaning regularly positive atmosphere in the building. I can still hear the captain's chuckle vividly recalled to illustrate.”

Praise for His Successor

He commended of the current boss, crediting him for the adjustments which secured the championship in the previous season. The team has suffered four consecutive matches across various tournaments following significant transfers, though he denied the suggestion it could be a decline.

Heartfelt Words for Diogo Jota

Klopp also spoke emotionally about the death of Diogo Jota, a 2020 acquisition while in charge, along with the consequences for the team. The forward died tragically in a car crash together with his sibling recently.

“Can you substitute somebody like Diogo? It goes beyond his footballing ability, it's his character. I struggle to conceive the squad absent his presence. I find it difficult to discuss on this topic. A devastating blow for his teammates too. Not a single person will ever use it to justify results but it is the situation. You walk in a dressing room where his spirit remains. Dealing with that emotionally is not easy. Overwhelming.”
