Liverpool news: Mark Lawrenson reveals what Jurgen Klopp does every time the Anfield legend visits training ground
Mark Lawrenson has revealed how much Jurgen Klopp has embraced Liverpool’s history throughout his time as manager.Klopp has revitalised the Reds since his appointment in October 2015, guiding the Merseyside club to three finals – including last season’s Champions League final – and into contention for this year’s Premier League.2

Klopp could end Liverpool’s long, tortuous wait for the league championship

There are just four matches separating Liverpool from their first league championship in 29 years, though success is out of their hands; Manchester City will retain the title as long as they win each of their remaining matches, as they are currently two points behind the Reds but have a game in hand.Failing to win the Premier League would be heart-wrenching for Liverpool, but such an outcome should not take away from just how brilliant they have been this season.There is a renewed sense of optimism around Anfield, and supporters believe the club have, in Klopp, a manager who trulyunderstands what Liverpool represent – both on and off the pitch. Most remarkably, Klopp appears to have cast the shackles of history off Liverpool which have for so long weighed ever so heavily on the club.And he has done this by embracing Liverpool’s incredible past – a past filled with 18 league championships, five European cups and multiple other trophies.This is according to Mark Lawrenson, the former defender who won 20 major honours during his playing days at Anfield.Speaking to Paddy Power, Lawrenson explained what Klopp has done to ensure Liverpool’s history does not overwhelm him, while also revealing what the German always does when club legends turn up at their Melwood training ground.Lawrenson said: “I remember, when he came to Liverpool, saying that a lot of the other teams in the league would be thinking they wished theyd got him. What you see is what you get with Jurgen.“He gets the football club, he gets the history.

“Quite a few of the managers in the past have tried to play the history down, as if it weighed a little too heavy on their shoulders, and didnt like having the former players around.“But Klopp gets it. Every time you go to the training ground, he laughs and says here they are again, the winners. He always stops for a chat, and picks your brain about the club. Hes embraced it.“So his job has been about more than winning this title.“Though itd be nice for him to win it, because every time hes asked about not winning something with Liverpool, Im sure hes wanted to chin whoevers asked it.”2

Lawrenson was part of Liverpool’s incredibly successful team of the 1980s

Winning the Premier League would be a real achievement for Liverpool, especially as they are going head-to-head for the title with one of world football’s all-time great teams, Manchester City.Securing the league crown was not Liverpool’s aim before the start of the season, however, Lawrenson reveals.He continued: “It would be fabulous to win the title, obviously, but Klopps remit at the start of the season, from the [owners] Fenway Sports Group, was Champions League qualification.“Theyve got other sporting franchises, they know how it works, and theyll know how outstanding Man City are.“So finishing second would be tough to take, but it wouldnt undermine Klopp at all. Hes seriously improved every player at the club, which is a feat in itself.”

So much did the decision affect my support of the club that I never once felt as if I was missing out, or that I should go back and watch a game. Amazing when you consider that in those two years since the re-brand the football club won the Championship and played in top flight for the first time since the early 1960s.
