Jurgen Klopp

Product Information

Esmalt üllatas mind, et eesti keelde tõlkis selle Aet Süvari. Tõlge oli isenesest üpris hea ja lugemine meeldiv. Peatükkide järjestus mulle ei sobinud. Pidev tõmblemine Liverpool - Dortmund- Mainz liinil tegi üldpildi jälgimise asjatult keerukaks. Oleks eelistanud kronoloogilist lähenemist.

Ich bin seit über 20 Jahren BVB-Fan und da Jürgen Klopp eine sehr prägende Zeit in der jüngeren Vereinsgeschichte hatte war ich sehr gespannt auf seine erste Biographie, auch wenn ich sonst gar nicht in dem Genre unterwegs bin. Now, I know love is a strong word but even if he kills a puppy at this very instance, I bet every Mainz, Dortmund, and Liverpool supporter will still see him as a saint. That’s how much Klopp is loved by the entire city of Mainz, the entire city of Dortmund, and by Liverpool fans worldwide, and it is a testament to his great character. Former England captain Alan Shearer said the players should be able to reflect positively on what they had done this season, despite the disappointment of missing out on league and European honours.That was reduced to a potential treble last Sunday when Manchester City clinched top spot on the final day of the league season. Losing the Champions League is a disappointing season," Richards said. "Liverpool have been incredible but you look at winners, we are talking about the league being special and then the Champions League. A week before Saturday's loss, there was still talk of Liverpool being able to win the quadruple as they were also in the running for the Premier League title.

My personal view of Klopp is that he is a likeable, competent manager who escapes close scrutiny compared to other characters who have had similar results. This book provides plenty of evidence that Klopp has had his fair share of disappointing spells, but one thing I did learn is that Klopp fosters a familial atmosphere that makes short-term results less important, which offers an explanation why. He said on BBC Radio 5 Live: "After the season that they have had. to have the disappointment of losing out on the league and then this one as well, they [Liverpool] can still be very proud of what they have achieved this season. Liverpool had plenty of chances in the first half against Real at the Stade de France, but found goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in outstanding form as the former Chelsea player made several superb saves. There are a few areas in the book where more detail would have been interesting. The section on the type of player Klopp looked to sign was very interesting but I would have like more detail on why certain players were signed – what was it about Lewandawski that made Dortmund pull the trigger for example when he was overlooked by other clubs? Whenever he speaks, you can sit down, listen carefully, and take the food for thought. Imagine if you are making research and writing about him every single day for nine consecutive months. I just could not stop the process.I love football so much because it is such a good example of how colourful the world can be. You use all the different cultures, strengths, and educations to be the best team you can be. It’s just a great example, really.’ Bring the Noise' is a solid introduction to the man & his managerial and tactical philosophy but feels under-developed in all the crucial areas. As a Liverpool fan, one hopes a few more successful chapters will help to solve this problem for the next edition! Whilst a generally interesting read for football fans, the biggest issue with Honigstein's book is that it falls between two stools, being neither a detailed biography of Jurgen Klopp, nor an extensive expose of his tactical philosophy. If the benchmark for recent football managerial studies is 'Pep Confidential' by Marti Perarnau then 'Bring the Noise' comes about as close as Liverpool's title challenge in the 17/18 season i.e. disappointingly (but predictably) short. That said, although both the study of the man and of his tactics seem half-baked, there are a few interesting conclusions that can be drawn from Klopp's story - ones which are useful to consider in the context of the current direction that Liverpool FC are heading.
