Jurgen Klopp on what Liverpool means to him: ⠀
⠀
"When I was younger, I knew the Beatles came from here and they have a great football club. The Scousers are very friendly, very open, very warm.⠀
⠀
"My wife and my sons are much more involved in society as I am and they are over the moon about how warm and helpful the people are. Since I was a kid, I loved football but I always knew there were more important things in life.⠀
⠀
"The only problem is during the 90 minutes I never felt it - it was the most important thing in life. When you are a part, a member, a fan, of the right club, you are really sucked in. I had that already in slightly different ways in Mainz and Dortmund.⠀
⠀
"Here Liverpool is the heart of football. Liverpool is music and football. It's good because we all work enough. Life must be as well some distraction as well from our day duties and as much as I can help with that, is as much as I want to help with that.⠀
⠀
"Who would have thought I would get any key to a city! When I first found out, I didn't understand it in the first place. I'm not 100% sure we have these things in Germany so someone needed to explain it to me.⠀
⠀
"Piece by piece I understood it and I felt a thought of pride I've never felt before, it was really strange. But I tell you I will take it and I will keep it, forever, in my mind and my heart."⠀
