Jurgen Klopp has bluntly stated he will not quit at Liverpool.
He says: “I will not go and I cannot go”.
And the Anfield boss, who has joined the ranks of the truly great managers, insisted that if the people still believe in him, then he will sort out the crisis of confidence his team is going through.
The Reds go into the Mersey derby with serious questions asked by their disillusioned fanbase, with many questioning the owners and worrying Klopp will walk away.
But despite being in his seventh year at Liverpool, he bluntly stated: “I understand when people say ‘oh seven years there (Mainz), seven years there (Dortmund), but that has nothing to do with it”.
“This situation is totally different for different reasons.
“At Mainz it was a career step as well, at Dortmund I was really exhausted in that moment. But I am neither nor, in this moment. Neither (career) nor exhausted.
“I am completely here, and I have too much responsibility (to leave) – and I want it.
“And I want to sort it again.
“Yes, it is a difficult time, I don’t enjoy it. But if people believe in me, then we have to go through this together because then when we come out we will have great times again.
“If we could show in this difficult time at this club – especially here because it is so special, because we believe in everything – then we will get through this”.
