Widenfeller: “Klopp's human side never came up short”

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is an “emotional type” of a coach as well as one who always makes the right tactical decision, according to former Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller. "Klopp was just the right man at the right time," he told Sport1. "He has turned the club upside down. At the same time, he gave the team the confidence that something could develop there. We seized the opportunity and grew together. "He is very direct, but also an emotional type. You could always count on him. The human side never came up short. Even about private things you could always talk to him. There was always an open exchange. As a coach, he always made the right tactical decisions." "That was only positive," he added. "It should signal to the players: 'From now on, it counts!' We lived on the emotion. We did not have the quality in the squad at that time to be on a par with the top teams. We learned a lot about the sense of community, camaraderie and motivation." Weidenfeller says captaining his side to the top spot was the highlight of his career. "After so many years to bring the bowl back to Dortmund and to celebrate my first championship was pure emotion," he added. "We were all very proud of that title. It was a fantastic feeling."
