Klopp: It can be said that when I won the championship in my coaching career, there must be Japanese players in my team

According to the official report of Red Bull, Klopp was interviewed recently while attending an event. During this period, he was asked about his favorite Japanese players and reasons. He chose Shinji Kagawa, Takumi Minami and Koto Endo whom he worked with.

Klopp said: "It may be a bit surprising to say that there are three Japanese players I like. This morning I received a video message from Shinji Kagawa, whom I coached. At that time, Dortmund would not have won the Bundesliga championship without him. But it was because we had him that we won the championship together, so he was one of the players I like."

"Then I met Takumi Minami, who is an important member of the team, very outstanding, he is the second Japanese player I like. Then when I was about to end my coaching career at Liverpool, I was fortunate to be with Your (Japanese team) captain, Hiro Endo, works with him. He is very professional and excellent. The time he worked with him makes me very reminiscent. And he used to play for my first love for football - Stuttgart because I was born in that area and he was captain in Stuttgart. So during my work I found that there were many similarities between us. "

" So to say, when I won the championship in my coaching career, I must have Japanese players in my team. Without Japanese players, it would be difficult for me to win the championship. Therefore, I suggest you add a Japanese player to the lineup."
