Jürgen Klopp

My love for people,

Unintentionally, it's from my mom.

So this mix of a very confident and a very caring, very confident dad and very caring mom is where I was brought up in the middle of it.

No, it was always something I wanted to do.

So in all this wonderful upbringing...

it was pretty clear that money is an issue.

Not in a sense that we didn't have enough, we always had kind of enough, but I remember discussions, bad discussions about money.

Arguments, if you want, who spent that, who spent that.

I was the little one that just sat around and listened to it.

But there was a moment in my life when I realized I have to earn a lot of money and I can solve it all.

I wanted to earn money to not having this kind of discussions with my wife or with the kids or whatever.

So it grew as a thought.

When you are a young man and you think, what could you do with life?

And for me, it was clear I cannot earn my money with football because in my mind, I wasn't good enough.

And then I got surprised by some people.

They thought, oh, there's something that could be interesting.

So in my village, I was the best player in my village.

So I scored the goals.

I was the fastest, all this kind of physical talent.

I was really fast.
