What will you think about? Jurgen Klopp When will he manage his last game for Liverpool? Do you remember your victories and defeats? Will he break down when saying goodbye to that hobby that has always reminded him that he will never walk alone? Will your heart shrink? Will you have any heart left after today? Will your legs shake when you leave? Will you want to turn back time? Will he begin to understand that it is true that he is leaving? Will he regret leaving? Will he be convinced?

Nobody is ready for goodbyes. Goodbyes are usually melancholic. Some leave, others stay. Klopp must not be ready, even if he pretends he is. His departure from Liverpool must take away part of his life, but he leaves through the largest door of Anfield, that stadium that was his home for nine seasons, since he arrived in October 2015.

Klopp thus began his final farewell, and although it is a happy goodbye, the fans, the ones who today will remind him to never walk alone, as his battle cry says (you’ll never walk alone), already miss him. Surely Klopp will approach the fans, as he did a week ago in his last away game, against Aston Villa, when he put his hand on his heart to remind them that he takes them there, and he applauded them and bowed to those who were saying goodbye to him. He seemed very stoic, who knows what was going through his head, and what will happen now, when he will be given a deeper farewell, in his last game with that team.
Klopp, who until today will be coach of Luis Diaz, It marked an entire era in Liverpool, it gave it a playing identity, like a rock team of which he was the star. Until one day fatigue came, or something similar. And Klopp decided that he was leaving. He wanted to have an even more heroic ending, he wanted to win the European League and another Premier League, he was barely enough for the League Cup. But his merits are many.

“Having reached three Champions League finals is an incredible achievement. I wouldn’t be happy if I thought I could have done more, I couldn’t. Could someone else have done it better? Probably, but not me,” Klopp said in his definitive week.
This Sunday, at 10 am, in the match against Wolverhampton, it will be the last farewell, although Klopp began to leave when he set the final date. Some thought he was never going to leave, but this is football, coaches pass, clubs stay.
Klopp leaves with his head held high. Today, when he puts his hand on his chest while saying goodbye to the fans and the players, he will surely feel that his heart is smaller, crushed or incomplete, it will be missing a half: it will be missing Liverpool.
