Klopp: If I was a smart person, I would have left Liverpool in the summer

Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said that if he were a smart person, he would leave the team last summer, after winning the English Premier League.

Speaking about the game against Ajax in the Champions League on Wednesday night, Klopp said: “If I was really a smart person, they would have left Liverpool last summer.”

He continued: “If that had happened, I would have gotten a lot of positive responses from people, but sadly I’m not smart, I don’t know. It’s not really about me.”

“When I used this phrase (it doesn’t matter what people say about you when you arrive, but what they say when you leave), it was specifically about saying goodbye to Dortmund because people were positive when you got there and positive when you left on the road Right”.

He continued, “So this is all fine and if it happens, wherever I am, I’ll be fine. What we can win from time to time, I have no idea, but I can promise you that we will try everything.”

Liverpool won the Premier League title last season after a 30-year hiatus from the former English club’s relationship with the league championship, to be the first Premier League title in Reds history.
