Jürgen Klopp: Liverpool football coach in baby luck

Jürgen Klopp will be happy about that. The football coach has a new addition to the family. Because he is now a grandfather. Jürgen Klopp is happy about a private direct hit.

The son of his wife Ulla has become a father,…

EPL Preview 2022: Liverpool

Last Year's Finish: 2nd

Predicted Finish: 2nd

Odds To Win EPL: 5-2 via OddsChecker Prospects:

There is a trepidation and a sense that we are "traveling to parts unkown" regarding Liverpool this season. It's an unusual feeling, given Jürgen Klopp is starting a first full campaign at Anfield without Sadio Mané and looking to a pool of young talent led by Darwin Núñez to compensate for the undeniable loss of the Senegal international. Not in doubt, however, is Liverpool’s position as the best-equipped team to deny Manchester City a hat-trick of Premier League titles.

Dreams of an unprecedented quadruple evaporated in the final seven days of last season – serving as an extra incentive this time out – but Klopp’s side are evolving nicely with Luis Díaz and Ibrahima Konaté impressing in their debut campaigns. This summer’s business - signing Núñez before allowing Mané to leave, finally securing Mohamed Salah’s services for another three years and removing any contract distractions, landing right-back cover for an initial £4m in Calvin Ramsay then selling Neco Williams for four times that price – was a further demonstration of the well-run operation at Anfield despite the departure of sporting director Michael Edwards.

Still, with the Mané-Firmino-Salah era over, and given the attributes of the Colombian, Luiz Díaz plus Fabio Carvalho, Klopp has suggested there could be more versatility to Liverpool’s attack than the 4-3-3 system that has served him so well. In Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones, he has two young assets ready to make the next step. But there is a significant responsibility on Núñez that could yet end up being an albatross around his neck. Cue Torres at Chelsea. How the 23-year-old adapts to his first season at Anfield and in the Premier League – especially in comparison to Erling Haaland at City – could be a key factor in the destiny of the title. Transfer Coup:

It took Liverpool less than three weeks from receiving confirmation that Mané wanted out for them to complete a club record £85m deal for one of the most coveted young strikers in European football in Darwin Núñez. He had been on Klopp’s radar for a while but it was seeing the Uruguay international up close, when scoring in both legs of Benfica’s Champions League quarter-final defeat to Liverpool last season, that convinced the manager to act fast and act big. Powerful with speed, technique, guile and a surgeon's precision, Núñez is poised to be a breakout star. Pressure however, has gotten the best out of big-time South American imports (see: Falcao), so it remains to be seen if Núñez can deliver. Preseason however has proven that the spotlight isn't too big and the lights don't shine too bright for the young Uruguayan.

The Manager:

As soon as Klopp admitted that he was rejuvenated by Liverpool’s football, their pursuit of four trophies and the return of capacity crowds last season, Fenway Sports Group pounced. Extending the contract of their most important asset until 2026 – with encouragement from Klopp’s wife, Ulla Sandrock – represented the Liverpool owners’s smartest move as well as a no-brainer. “This is only the start,” said Klopp upon committing to an 11-year reign at Anfield in April. “That’s the plan, that we really, really go for it.” Liverpool did – winning a domestic cup double, reaching a third Champions League final in five seasons and missing out on the title by a single point on the final day of a campaign in which they played every game possible – and are being rebuilt to go again by the Premier League’s longest-serving manager. The man quite frankly, is on the short-list of manager's in the Footballing World who can walk into any job today without pretense.

Outcome:

Oh it'll be close. The City vs Liverpool rivalary gets better by the year, and if Núñez can hit the ground running? They just might take it. Expect a big year from a rejuvenated Mo Salah who no longer has the distraction of a contract extension looming over his head. The rotation of Carvalho - who accounted for the majority of Mitrovic's 43 goals at Fulham -, and Luis Diaz in conjunction with Núñez and Salah figures to be deadly. If it all pans out? Liverpool takes the crown decidedly. If not? 2nd. Can they handle the pressure?

Kloppo’s first instinct after winning the European Cup? It was to turn to the stands and look up to his wife.  And after the game, he gave Ulla his gold winners medal ❤️🥇
