Liverpool, affected by a plague of injuries, won the League Cup last Sunday thanks to the contribution of their "kids", boys who are barely of age, tutored by Jürgen Klopp and that the German coach will leave as a legacy of his time at Anfield, beyond the titles won.

The German coach, forced by the avalanche of absentees (Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Thiago Alcantara, Jota, Salah, Núñez...), has not only not complained about his bad luck. "Yes, we've had to adapt, but frankly, it's been more fun than problematic," Klopp said after beating Chelsea in the League Cup final with a solitary goal in extra time in a game in which his kids, as he calls them, dressed as protagonists and broke the dynamic in Chelsea's favour as the match progressed.
Indeed, the freshness and confidence of Bobby Clark, James McConnell (both 19 years old) and Jayden Danns (18 years and 40 days) made the difference and provoked admiration in England, sometimes to the point of excess. "In extra time, it was Klopp's kids against the 'bottle jobs' of the 1,000 million," said former Manchester United player and now commentator Gary Neville, referring to the amount spent on transfers by Chelsea since 2022.
