The long-time captain of Liverpool is of the opinion that Klopp, because of everything he did at the Reds, deserves a statue in front of Anfield.##NAJAVA_MECA_8109576##”I hope to God there’s a statue and I hope it’s nearly ready. He really is such a club legend and deserves something like that, if we talk about the best coaches in history, Klopp is side by side with the best,” Gerrard said clearly.The former England international pointed out that he regretted not playing an official match under the leadership of Jurgen Klopp, even though he himself was aware that it was impossible.”I can say that we were all excited from the first day when Klopp came to the club, from the first press conference. I had the opportunity to travel with Jamie Carragher with the first team on the tour to Australia, where we played an exhibition match and I had the opportunity to feel the incredible energy. I remember sitting in Melbourne thinking, ‘I’ll pay whatever they want just to play for him for a year’. Even though I knew it wasn’t possible,” Gerrard said.”I would pay any amount of money and do anything for anyone if I could represent this guy for one year.” Steven Gerrard was amongst the Liverpool legends that paid tribute to Jurgen Klopp 💻🔴 pic.twitter.com/9UzuON5KRg— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) May 18, 2024 Klopp arrived in Liverpool in 2015 and since then he won almost everything there is to win with the Reds – the Champions League (2018/19), the FIFA Club World Cup (2019), the UEFA Super Cup (2019), the Premier league (2019/2020), FA Cup (2021/22), as well as one League Cup (2021/2022).
