Jurgen Klopp’s nearly decade long reign at Liverpool came to an end yesterday, with Liverpool beating Wolves 2-0 at Anfield.
Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker has been a key figure in Liverpool success during that time, winning the Premier League and Champions League since signing for the Reds in 2018.
Speaking after the game, Alisson told LFC how Klopp has changed the mentality of Liverpool.
“He created a new mentality here at the club. It’s about that.
The players he brought in during the process, all the players have a little bit of this mentality but when we arrive here at this club, everything that is happening around all the staff, all the players that work at the club, that are involved, have this kind of mentality, no matter the role they have at the club.
“We players come here on the pitch and we have to perform, but coming with the right mentality is important as well. He was massive in creating this mentality in every player.”
Klopp has been open about his desire to gain the psychological edge in games, and has even had a book called ‘mentality monsters’ written about the culture of psychological prowess he built from the ground at Liverpool.
Speaking on this culture, Alisson said: “His passion, his desire to win things, to achieve things. But he doesn’t do things thinking about achievements, he thinks about the personal side of the players. He wants to do everything and the players feel good to play for his team.”
It is clear for fans of Liverpool that Klopp is a once in a lifetime manager, and his name will still ring round the Kop for years to come.
