When Jurgen Klopp explained his decision to leave Liverpool after a successful but demanding eight and a half years, he again showed why he is such an effective, unique communicator. “We’re not young rabbits anymore,” he said, “and we don’t jump as high as we once did.”
For those who prefer mean machines to fluffy animals, he produced a different turn of phrase. “I am like a proper sports car,” he said. “Not the best one, but a pretty good one. I can still drive 160, 170, 180 miles per hour, but I am the only one who sees the tank needle is going down.”
