He may have won much bigger titles in his career, but o Jurgen Klopp lived it very intensely winning the League Cup from Liverpool. Perhaps it is to blame that he is spending his last months at the port, but for the same measure – as he said – the cup came with the participation of players from the club’s academies and despite the significant absences of players such as Salah and Nunes.
“What we see here is extraordinary. We may never see it again. This doesn’t happen in football. I was told there is an English phrase – you don’t win trophies with children, I didn’t know that. In over 20 years it is easily the most special trophy I have ever won. It is excellent. Sometimes people ask me if I’m proud of things and it’s really hard, I wish I could feel pride more often. But it’s an overwhelming feeling“, emphasized the German coach.
“I was proud of everybody involved in everything here, I was proud of our people for the way they pushed us, I was proud of the staff for creating this kind of atmosphere where these boys can just do what they do best. I was proud of our academy, I was proud of my coaches, I was proud of so many things. It had nothing to do with it being probably my last game at Wembley. It was really because of how everyone contributed. Seeing the faces of the children after the match… can you create football stories that surely no one will ever forget? It is so hard. If you find the same story of academy players coming up against a top, top team and beating it, I’ve never heard of it».
