Klopp: “If I was really smart, I would have left in the summer”

Jurgen Klopp surprised many in the Liverpool preview with a statement in which he stated that the most logical thing would have been for him to leave the Anfield club this summer. But the 'reds' should not be alarmed, at least for now. The German was referring to what it would have meant to leave office at the top, with his legacy intact after winning the Champions League and the Premier League.

“If I had been a really smart person, I would have left in the summer. People would only have said positive things, but unfortunately I'm not that smart! When I said that it doesn't matter what they say about you when you arrive, but when you leave I was referring to when I left Dortmund, because people were positive when I got there and it was positive when I got out of there in the right way, “said Klopp, who doesn't seem to have immediate plans to leave Liverpool.
