Klopp at Liverpool and his wife

When dusting off memories that Jürgen Klopp had since his first day at the institution to date, it is undoubtedly that many have in mind the decision of this strategist to sign for the Merseyside team rather than for Manchester United, being well known that part of the final decision had to do much to do with the intervention of Ulla Sandrock, wife of the coach who always supported him in this stage in England.

Ulla, besides being Klopp's wife, is an important German writer who is still active in her vocation and in other types of work such as social work, and although her profession is very unrelated to the subject of sport, it is true that her opinion regarding the future of Jürgen then ended up being the right one, as it seems that the Reds and Klopp are made for each other, achieving both incredible goals that consecrate him as a legend in its history.

The strange and curious story about his arrival at Liverpool at the time was revealed by Phil Thompson, who told a Norwegian TV station that Ulla Sandrock was the one who stopped Klopp's arrival at the Red Devils because of a hunch he had at the time, and the coach listened until the offer from Anfield knocked on his door, not having this time some kind of bad feeling and accepting immediately, describing Klopp himself that it was as if he had been destined.

It seems that this sixth sense was of great help from his wife, and it is that not having stopped Klopp at Old Trafford, this coach could eventually make the Reds an institution that regained its validity as a giant of England and Europe, being an excellent union between club and coach to date, adding to this the great synergy he has had with players like Mohamed Salah or Virgil Van Dijk.

Although his departure is imminent, no fan of the team has had a single complaint against him, and while it is true that failures were part of his career on Merseyside, Klopp always had that optimism and desire to want to see his group at the top, getting something more precious than the recognition of everyone which is the trust of all those who dedicate their time to follow the team, knowing the institution that, if one day he returns to the group, it will surely be because of some good feeling of Ulla Sandrock, the true pioneer that caused this very special relationship that will conclude in the summer of this 2024.
