The video lasts three and a half minutes.

It takes three and a half minutes to show once again that for him, not everything revolves around football in his life - and that he also thinks a lot about things outside of the big football bubble.

At the beginning of the little Christmas speech, which Liverpool FC published by Jürgen Klopp on the club's website, there is a short vocal interlude.

Klopp, who has been with the Reds since October 2015, sings the first four lines from one of the most famous Christmas carols - "Last Christmas" by Wham.

Klopp then tells how he experienced Christmas as a child.

While he reports that it was a tradition in his family to sing and play an instrument together, a picture of Klopp's childhood days can be seen.

“In the beginning I played the xylophone, later I learned to play the keyboard.

Only then did we receive the presents.

Good memories.

I loved it, ”says Klopp before looking back over the year a little.

"Day for eternity"

The day on which Liverpool FC won the English championship in the summer "was one of the greatest days of my life".

One year after winning the Champions League, Klopp also managed to win the championship title.

The fans of Liverpool FC had not been able to celebrate this title for 30 years.

According to Klopp, the year started well, really well.

“And then Covid-19 came and everything stopped.

And we're still in the middle of the pandemic.

We may not have valued our normal life, whatever it was before, enough.

What we learned is: be thankful for what you have.

It can change in a minute. "

Game operations in England were also suspended in spring due to the corona pandemic.

After the restart, fans - as in Germany and most other countries around the world - were not allowed in the stadiums.

At the beginning of December, however, fans were allowed to return to the English stadiums for the first time.

On December 6, Liverpool beat Wolverhampton 4-0 in front of 2,000 fans.

For Klopp a day for eternity: “Feeling this atmosphere again made the game one that we will never forget.

We made memories. "

Klopp faces West Bromwich Albion with Liverpool FC on Sunday.

Although Liverpool are the clear favorites against the penultimate as first in the table, Klopp is preparing for a "tough fight and a difficult game".

That the master is at the top at Christmas is irrelevant for the 53-year-old.

“It's the best position you can have.

It's nice, but nothing more.

We know how hard it is, how hard it was and how hard it will be, ”said the coach at a press conference.
