Robert Lewandowski believes that Jurgen Klopp is much more than your everyday Football manager.
Rarely does a press conference go by without the German speak about his players in glowing terms.
He treats any public criticism of them as a personal insult, strongly putting any journalist in their place if they dare to do so.
While many managers see their job as a win at all costs role, it is this sort of care that Jurgen constantly displays which sets him apart from many of his contemporaries.
The Bayern Munich striker who has been in fine form in all competitions this season says he knows all about how he operates having played under the title winning manager at Borussia Dortmund for four seasons.
And the Polish international says that he is the favourite manager that he has had as ESPN reported:
“I think...Jurgen Klopp [is my favorite] and after that Pep Guardiola. 100 percent,"
“Klopp has two faces.
“You can see that he is kind of like a father, but the second part is like a coach, a manager. He can tell you everything -- and I'm not speaking about the good things -- about the bad things.
“Also for [players], he is a huge motivation. He makes this perfect, because he knows where there is this line where he can [push you] more or a little bit less.
“His performance as a coach is amazing, but not only as a coach but also as a man.
Lewandowski was not the only individual to give Jurgen his due respect in recent days with club owner John Henry also paying tribute.
“I could go on and on about Jürgen and how his heart is larger than his frame, how his enthusiasm affects all of us positively every day,”
“But I think what is important is he is determined every day to do the right thing, whether it’s with regard to what happens on the pitch, whether it’s regard to nutrition for the club. He is just determined every day to do the right thing and that rubs off.”
It goes without saying , but as fans should count our blessings every day that we have Jurgen as the manager of our great club.
