Jurgen Klopp’s hideous laugh is something we will surely miss, but so are the moments he made us laugh – and his press conferences were full of such cases.
Although he admitted on the first day that he was not fully fluent in English, Klopp never made any effort to connect with the fans and the media.
Charismatic and outgoing, Klopp commanded the room and gave us extraordinary and insightful answers from the start, but he also made us laugh with him.
We’ve put together a video of some of his funniest moments on This Is Anfield’s YouTube channel, and it’s sure to lift your spirits considering how emotional his departure is making us!
From quips about his new club kit to his obsession with a particular set of headphones and attacking the media when a young fan asks for his autograph, Klopp never failed to have fun.
The most memorable moment, however, has to be when he misunderstood the word ‘brain fog’ during a press conference.
“Why can anyone say that word, and then if I say it, it’s not right?” he asked his press officer.
Clarifying the word, he said, “Brain f**k,” to which the room erupted in laughter.
“No, brain fog,” came the clarification, and the moment it dawned on Klopp was evident.
The German always lit up a room, whether it was his intention or not, and his presence will be missed in many ways.
Hopefully his new Instagram account, which has amassed 1.5 million followers in less than 24 hours, will continue to give us some funny Klopp moments to hold on to as his chapter at the club draws to a close.
