A week before Saturday's loss, there was still talk of Liverpool being able to win the quadruple as they were also in the running for the Premier League title. However, the book rarely delves too far into Klopp's management style, other than the extent to which he uses player stats in his management, which is not much. More coverage is given to the tactical changes during his playing career than during his management career, and there is too much of an emphasis on his team's results, rather than his role as manager - with the notable exception of his touchline antics. But, how I said, the club is in a good moment, we will go again." Analysis: Liverpool cycle far from over First, Honigstein's various interviews make it clear that Klopp is a classic football romantic: the journey and the experience are almost equally important to him as the final result. For Mainz, Dortmund & Liverpool, in both victories and gut-wrenching defeats (of which many have rightly noted Klopp has a disproportionately high number for his time in the game) he makes constant references to "our story", "our dream" etc. There's a particularly revealing interview after Dortmund pulled off a famous underdog victory against Malaga in 2013 to reach the Champions League semi-finals: "My motivation as a coach is to collect that kind of stuff, for people to tell and retell it. Football is a shared collection of stories, a shared history, an identity. You win and you lose, but you're with people you like. You're at home, you belong. That's what we all want. Ten million people want to belong here". Certainly not a sentiment you would expect from most rival managers, e.g. Jose Mourinho or Rafa Benitez. In this context, it's not unsurprising that Klopp has only chosen to manage three blue-collar clubs with rich histories, somewhat faded glories but a strong sense of community, culture & work ethic, forming a deliberately close bond with supporters at all three.

While the Reds complete the campaign with two trophies, Klopp admitted it was too soon for his players to be able appreciate what they have achieved. The fine margins make the feeling of deflation more acute but Liverpool have shown formidable powers of recovery before, responding to their last Champions League final defeat to Madrid by winning it the following year, then winning the Premier League title with 99 points after missing out with 97 a year after that. And he's also good at protecting his players: “The Liverpool boss also reminded his men again about the pact he had made with them shortly after coming into the job in October 2015. ‘When you win, it’s down to you and when you lose, it’s down to me,’ he had told them in a bid to ease unspoken concerns about the new, complex and very demanding playing style.” The book itself is very personal and intimate with lots of interviews from the people at the heart of the life and career of Kloppo. It gives a great insight to the man inside the manager. It is easy to see how he can motivate the teams to go above and beyond.The two competitions we didn't win, we didn't win for the smallest possible margin - one point, one-nil," added Klopp. "City during the season were one point better and tonight Madrid were one goal better."

We conceded a goal from a throw-in. (Federico) Valverde wanted to shoot, Vinicius was there and that's it.My personal view of Klopp is that he is a likeable, competent manager who escapes close scrutiny compared to other characters who have had similar results. This book provides plenty of evidence that Klopp has had his fair share of disappointing spells, but one thing I did learn is that Klopp fosters a familial atmosphere that makes short-term results less important, which offers an explanation why.

His man-management, stubbornness and that relentless desire to drive the team and the people around him forward are what define him as a man and as a manager. He ‘gets it’. Many managers in the game are glorified coaches, not Klopp. The changes he made to every club he joined, the eagerness and hunger to drive change and to squeeze the best out of every player, coach, nutritionist, analyst, cleaner and employee in the clubs he has worked at are rarely seen at football in this era of instant success and insatiable fanbases.Jurgen Klopp will be speaking live to the media to preview Saturday's trip to Manchester City at 1.30pm on Friday.
