Life is too short not to celebrate nice moments!
Jurgen Klopp
When I left Dortmund, I said it's not important what people think when you come in but what they think when you leave.
Anyone can have a good day, but you have to be able to perform on a bad day.
The challenge is to stay cool enough to handle the pressure in the moment so that you can succeed in the future.
I am not a dreamer. I am a football romantic.
It's not about changing people; it's sometimes about changing a situation. How can we build an even better situation for them?
If you want special results, you have to feel special things and do special things together. You can speak about spirit, or you can live it.
I have only one understanding of development and of making success, and that's by going step by step.
It needs time. Nobody wants to hear it, but that's the truth: if you want to have success in the future, you have to be ready to work now.
Football is a game you cannot play without making mistakes.
In England, football is a big thing to talk about, but Liverpool, it's a special place. You feel it when you make your first step.
To be successful, you need results in a row. You can't win, lose, win, lose.
I'm not a one-man show. I was never that in my life, and I never want to be that.
My biggest skill is common sense. I understand life.
The Premier League is one of the most difficult in the world. There's five, six, or seven clubs that can be the champions. Only one can win, and all the others are disappointed and live in the middle of disaster.
I understand aggressiveness in only one way: being prepared to hurt yourself, not someone else.
The best football is always about expression of emotion. Always.
The intensity of the football and how the people live football in Liverpool - it is not a usual.
Only stupid people are changed by success.
I like learning more about people; I like to talk to people.
Bad performances can happen and are not that serious - even with new players. You can't, say, sell him, get a new one.
I'm not sure what you need first - the players believing or others believing in them - but in the end, both have to think it.
It's absolutely normal that different human beings want to go different ways.
The only thing I can say is that I like people; I like human beings with their faults and with their strengths.
To win is always good for the feeling of the whole team.
I don't think I'm an unlucky person.
I've thought sometimes about what I like about football, and it's playing together.
Just like every person who works for Dortmund is a fan of the club, it was the same at Mainz. When I was a player there, we had 800 supporters on rainy Saturday afternoons, and if we died, no one would notice or come to our funeral. But we loved the club, and we have this same feeling at Dortmund.
My experience is listen, see, feel - and then think about what you change.
What is Champions League level? I saw a lot of rubbish games at Champions League level.
If you are full of motivation as a player, if you are full of concentration, I am open arms.
It's a rule to give all, and it can make the difference if you work more. If you don't have to give all, and you still win, what's this?
I get a little bit emotional during a game!
I didn't take many penalties, but I never missed one.
People should not make me out to be like Jesus; I don't walk on water.
There is a place in the net where the keeper cannot reach the ball.
Shinji Kagawa is one of the best players in the world, and he now plays 20 minutes at Manchester United - on the left wing! My heart breaks. Really, I have tears in my eyes. Central midfield is Shinji's best role.
When you play sports like tennis, you're alone, and that's a good school for life, but it's also a good school for life to bring your best and make those around you better, too - helping others in difficult moments.
If two smart, intelligent, clever guys sit together on a table, and you both want the same, where can be the problem? We all want to be successful.
We all started playing football against our best friends, and I can't remember a moment where, because it was my best friend, I did not want to win against him.
We should play free football, defend lively with a passion, and have the best understanding in offence.
Liverpool is a club with a big, big, big history, and all the clubs in the world have a big history if the present is not too successful. If you have never had success, then nobody knows how it is, but in Liverpool, everybody knows how it was.
I'm not a genius. I need other people to get the perfect information. When we have this, we will decide to sign or sell a player.
I left Mainz after 18 years and thought, 'Next time, I will work with a little less of my heart.' I said that because we all cried for a week. The city gave us a goodbye party, and it lasted a week.
I've met some Evertonians in the street, and they've been friendly. I've had taxi drivers who have been Everton fans. They've been really nice.
I love pets, especially dogs.
Crazy players love me. I don't know why.
Without being the most confident person in the world, I think I am the right person for Liverpool.
The English game is not faster than the German game. Perhaps there are a few more sprints. But there is a different style of football here, partially due to the weather.
Players who are not from the U.K. have to get used to the winds. I have to adapt my style as a result as well. Often, you are forced to keep things simple.
