Jürgen Klopp

Of course, there were football talks, but we had already enough meetings.

The most important conversations were the private conversations.

So when the player is not training well, it could be that he just is not ready for training.

Had a drink last night, didn't sleep enough.

Or you ask.

So that's all what you think.

He looks like he didn't sleep enough, blah, blah, blah.

You bring him in, ask him what's going on.

And he will be surprised most of the time.

They either slept enough or didn't sleep enough for the right reason because something happened and nobody could sleep.

They had no drink, blah, blah, blah, but they lost focus right now because massive problems at home.

Without asking, we'll never find out.

So here's one guy with a problem.

Here's another guy.

He's flying.

Don't treat them the same.

So one needs more support and the other one you need to bring down a little bit.

So all these kind of – that's how you work with people.

In the end, what you want is that the job of a leader is to make the target, the aim, the final destination, whatever, that clear like the sun.

that everybody's automatically going there and you don't have to push them every day and say, by the way, there's the sun, let's run there, so that they know it.
