The Champions League final is finally here. Liverpool take on Real Madrid in a repeat of the final of the UCL in 2018, which the Los Blancos won. However, things are different this year. Liverpool have strengthened massively, while on the other hand, Madrid have not. They had the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos in that all-conquering team, and while they are still one of the best teams in the world, it’s hard for them to be as good as they were. However, Liverpool took that final loss in their stride and brought Allison, who was key for them in winning the UCL the very next year. LIVERPOOL VS. REAL MADRID FEATURES A NEW PITCH This year, the teams match up very evenly and there is very little to differentiate between the two clubs. Jurgen Klopp has won it all with this Liverpool team and would love to add another trophy to his cabinet. However, he has some qualms about the pitch in Paris. The German manager spoke about the pitch ahead of the match and didn’t like the fact that the pitch doesn’t look perfect. However, he did add that he “didn’t want to moan” about it and that it would be the same for both teams. “I don’t know how bad or good it is, I only saw it. The refs were training on it and I saw the ball bouncing. Maybe it’s perfect, but it looks not perfect. This pitch is new since yesterday, which is not the best news. But it will be the same for both teams,” the German manager said [https://www.espn.in/football/liverpool-engliverpool/story/4676067/champions-league-final-liverpools-jurgen-klopp-concerned-by-new-pitch]. JURGEN KLOPP DOESN’T LIKE THE IDEA OF A NEW PITCH Klopp has had a history of blaming pitches before as he did blame Liverpool’s draw against West Brom on the pitch being too dry. This time around, he claimed that the pitch is not very well put together and that it wasn’t a good idea to change it. “You can see the lines where they put the pieces of the pitch [together], which is what we aren’t used to. That someone thought it was a good idea to bring the pitch the day before to the stadium is an interesting idea,” Klopp added.

Jurgen Klopp’s Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements

German football manager, Jurgen Klopp is currently the manager of the Liverpool football team. Back in the day, Klopp was a professional player himself and played for a few clubs ending his playing career at FSV Mainz 05 before turning into a manager.

After his retirement, he became their manager succeeding Eckhard Krautzun. He went on to manage the side for eight years, guiding them to the Top 5 on four occasions, with a best finish of 3rd.

He would later join Borussia Dortmund in 2008 until 2015. Finally, he has now settled with Liverpool and continues to manage them to this day.

Achievements

Klopp often implements the tactic known as the Gegenpress. Over here, if a team loses possession of the ball, they immediately attempt to win back possession. This is the complete opposite of the instinct to fall back and regroup for another attack.

According to the German, a well-executed counter-pressing system can be more effective than any playmaker when it comes to creating chances.

He described it as, "The best moment to win the ball is immediately after your team just lost it. The opponent is still looking for orientation where to pass the ball. He will have taken his eyes off the game to make his tackle or interception and he will have expended energy. Both make him vulnerable"

Jurgen Klopp's salary is slated to be £7 million a year and Jurgen Klopp's net worth is around £17.6 million a year.

Controversies

Jurgen Klopp is not a person who has been involved in many controversies. However, he has been known for his over the top celebrations, especially in his Liverpool tenure.

During a 2-1 win over Everton in January at the FA Cup, Klopp celebrated by running onto the pitch and hugging goalkeeper, Alisson. He was subsequently fined £8,000 and warned about his future conduct by the Football Association.
