Among the many famous soundbites of Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager, there's one he uttered back in 2016 that holds as much weight today as it did back then.
Speaking about the task of recruiting top players at a time when he was unable to offer Champions League football, the Reds boss used the metaphor of a train to succinctly convey his stance on the situation.
"If I would speak to a player now and he would tell me: ‘If you were playing in the Champions League next year I would be really interested’, I would put the phone down from my side. I am not interested," Klopp said at the start of April in 2016.
