That is when, all of a sudden,

Well, because Liverpool has an identity of the environment and JΓΌrgen is like that.

Never mind he gets it, he's like that.
Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112
I don't think JΓΌrgen could go to Real Madrid, Bayern, Munich.

He's quite a socialist who likes, he doesn't like the superstar thing and he likes to be a man of the people, if you like.
Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112
And I think that he suits Liverpool.

Klopp had a couple of players where before, leave him out, the fans are going to boo him, say put him on the pitch.
Stick to Football

He didn't and the fans still backed him.

So until the fans are going to back the manager and give him 100% carte blanche to do anything and look at the outcome of that.

So therefore, as much as, you know, I'm a middle-class boy from uptown Kingston, as Righty likes to remind me.

When I played football, when I played football at school and in other areas, and Righty will know these areas, you talk about Trentstown, Boys Town.

I used to play in the inner cities as a middle-class kid.

They're not coming to my house, but that's what football is.
Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112
And football for me is a socialist sport.

John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112
There's no hierarchy in football.
