Original title: Klopp was advised by the Red Army legend why not to sign Lewandowski to Liverpool?
On June 3, Beijing time, according to the “Mirror” report, Lewandowski is eager to leave Bayern, and the closest to signing is Barcelona, but the Catalan giants are subject to financial constraints, making the Poles’ transfer will fall into the saw.
Lewandowski’s name has also been linked to Manchester United and Chelsea, but Klopp has received suggestions that he might consider re-connecting with what he describes as “the best of his managerial career” at Anfield.
The British media dug up a passage from Klopp’s interview with Bild in March 2021. When asked who is the best player he has experienced in his coaching career, the German has only one answer. :”Lewandowski.”
“The fact that it’s not fair to say that any player other than Lewandowski, what he got from his potential, how he pushed himself to be the Lewandowski he is today, it’s all phenomenal. Wan took every step he needed to, and ended up being the goal machine of today, every step. He was immersed in the game and knew exactly what he had to do and where he had to go in any situation, He’s an absolute machine.”
And the consolation and support from the Germans when Lewandowski and Messi failed to compete for the Ballon d’Or.
There is also Lewandowski’s praise for Klopp. As early as October 2015, the Poles labelled the Red Army’s new coach “perfect”.
Former Red Army goalkeeper Dudek, the creator of the Istanbul miracle, suggested that Liverpool sign Lewandowski in an interview with “Marca”.
“He’s been the best striker in Europe for many years, the last 10 seasons at Bayern are unbelievable, he’s won eight titles and I think he’s been the top scorer six times or something.”
“He’s an incredible player and I’m surprised Barcelona are interested in him. I think the best place for him is to go to the Premier League. Because he’s strong and fast, in my opinion the best place for him is Klopp’s Liverpool. I know they have Firmino, but he doesn’t always give 100 per cent. I think for Lewandowski, going to Liverpool would be the best situation.”
The thing is very simple. Barcelona wants Lewandowski, so Bayern wants Mane. If Mane’s departure is unavoidable, why didn’t Anfield take advantage of Barcelona’s financial constraints and sign him directly and let “Klopp’s coaching career best player” Lewandowski, reconnecting with his “perfect” former head coach?
In fact, the Mirror also knows that this is unlikely to happen. Liverpool’s signing of Lewandowski will mean they will put the team’s previously super-successful recruitment policy behind them, especially considering that Klopp’s contract extension with the Reds until 2026 will clearly start a new one. long term planning.
But the British media also hope that the day when the two will meet once more, maybe in a few years, not at Anfield, but only at the Kirkby Training Centre?
