Jurgen Klopp, charming and ruthless, puts Liverpool in his hands – Stan Collymore

Jurgen Klopp's occasional smiles and laughter, sound phrases, and occasional blasphemy are much talked about.

All this is part of the Liverpool manager's charm and his kindness knows that's why so many people love him.

But over the years, I've spent enough time with Klopp to know that beneath that smile, there was a very ruthless man, someone who knows what he wants and how to get it.

He worked a lot on television while he was still a fairly low level operator in football management. So he worked long before he was a champion manager of the Champions League, even a Bundesliga winner, to engage with the mbades.

And he honed those skills so everyone in Liverpool, from John W Henry to FSG, to players, staff and fans, wrapped around his little finger.

Klopp is a very, very tough man and after leading them to the Champions League glory against Tottenham on Saturday, he owns the lock, the stock and the cannon of the Liverpool Football Club.

Not a small feat considering his defeat in the final of the League Cup, the Europa League and the Champions League before finally landing the last on the second occasion.

I know that Liverpool have only finished one point behind Manchester City this season, but a year ago, they made their mark in the Premier League race.

And a manager without Klopp's personality would have had more pressure.

But the way he has managed to earn much more time over the years is a lesson for others around him.

One who says that if you can cultivate a personality, you will have much more time to do your job.

When this character speaks of pleasure, joy, joy and laughter, everyone wants to be involved.

If Klopp can now win the Premier League with Liverpool next season or the next, we could as well give him the keys to the place for the better part of the next decade.

Although City boss Pep Guardiola has created a super professional, highly skilled team that plays football in a certain way and connects all club staff, Klopp has pushed the connections between everyone working in Anfield at a level never reached.

It was almost the norm at the time of the training rooms, when there was no question of players, but everyone participated every day saying: "If we want to win something, I will also get recognition. "

He was a master to bring that back.

On the field, Klopp needs a midfielder who, like Fernandinho in City, will play 9.8 / 10 on a season and an attacker who will face Roberto Firmino regularly, as well as two other players to strengthen the team.

And he will already think about these updates.

Because if City will remain the favorite of most players for the title next season, Klopp has gone a third of the way to the Blue Moonies, three quarters of the way.

I do not know if this gap will be reduced completely, given the resources of City, but there is no better time for Liverpool to reduce it further than after the Champions League triumph.
