In the fact that when he was at a young age supported Liverpool but also how much Jurgen Klopp has changed the Premier League, he spoke at the press conference for Tottenham’s game with the “Rents” (30/9, 19:30) Angelos Postecoglou.
At the same time, he noted that he does not know the reason why his players call him father, giving his own interpretation.
What Postecoglou said in detail:
“Since Jurgen came to the Premier League, the tempo and intensity with which they play with or without the ball is on another level. The Premier League was already a fast paced league but they took it to another level.
At times it all seemed chaotic, but you could see there was a plan. I was watching Klopp’s Dortmund because I was the coach of the Australian national team and one of our goalkeepers was there at the time.
You could see it from then on, they played in a similar way,” said the Londoner’s coach, also referring to the sympathy he had when he was young at Liverpool and the nickname “father” given to him by his players.
“I used to have a Liverpool poster but things change. I used to watch Happy Days too but I don’t have a Fonz poster anymore.
I don’t know why my players call me “father”. Maybe it has to do with the way I dress and act.
Our role is to provide support in any way we can to the players. These are the most important people and some need guidance.
I am older, I have more experience in life. If I can pass on to them some of the lessons and mistakes I’ve made in my life, I will.”
