The End of the Storm (2020) - full transcript

I'm not the...

smartest person
on this planet.

I'm not the most skilled person
on this planet.

I, um...

I'm not the best looking
or whatever.

I don't have
the best background.

All these kind of things.
But it's not a problem at all.

My two best friends had the best
grades from the whole school

and we were learning together
and I was not even close to them

and I didn't think,
"I'm a bit...

dumb" or whatever.



I just took it like it is
and knew that's my basis

from here,
I have to jump.

What I want to say with it is

I always felt support
from people

from my friends, from my family
all the way through.

When you walk through a storm

and there are different storms
out there

that's the moment
when you need support.

and I really love the fact

that there is a song
about my way of life.

How I understand life.

You'll never walk alone.

It was not the reason
why I came here.

It's a pure coincidence.



It's my anthem for years
and years.

I think it's in one of the most
beautiful songs ever.

That's it. So here we are.
and it's a pretty good fit.

Liverpool Football Club,
it means life. Honestly.

My grandfather followed
Liverpool all over Europe.

It's just ingrained in us.

People used to say

"What was the secret
Liverpool Football Club?"

If they had a secret,
we wouldn't tell you.

The supporters
have always had huge effect.

The death toll
from the stadium disaster

stands at 96.

When Liverpool play

it's a combination of excitement
and fear.

You never know
what's gonna happen.

Joy for Manchester United!

I was six when
we last won the league

and to be honest,
I don't remember it.

Ryan Giggs has scored!

It seems to me like

they don't really like football.

It's not a big team anymore.

Gerrard,
with the shot. Oh, what a goal!

Oh, Gerrard slipped.

And Demba Ba's in here!

Ba punishes, of all people...
Steven Gerrard.

I just cried
and cried and cried

and I just felt like
my entire world

had come crashing down.

Big breaking
news for the Premier League.

Brendan Rodgers
has left Liverpool.

Where do they go next then?

I would go for Klopp.

Liverpool appears to be
closing in on a new manager.

The German Jurgen Klopp.

The day that Jurgen
was appointed I said

"Fasten your seat belts.
We're off and running here".

He's a breath of fresh air.

He said that he's going to
win us the Premiership.

It's what we want.

In this moment, we are not
the best team in the world.

They don't believe in
this moment, yeah?

So they only want to see,
OK, five years ago

ten years ago,
20 years ago.

History is great,
but it's only to remember.

Now we have the possibility
to write a new story.

Jurgen Klopp
arriving here at the Lane.

He's a manager who's worked
wonders in the Bundesliga.

Twice managing Dortmund to
the League Championship there.

Can he bring similar successes
to Merseyside?

Usually in life
you have to fulfil

first and foremost
your own expectations.

But when you come to Liverpool,
then it's completely different

because there's so many people
dream about our success.

Winning trophies is fulfilling
the expectations of the people.

My first game at Tottenham

I always watched the other team
warming up.

Tottenham, they're good looking.
Dark blue.

Harry Kane, Dele Alli.

Everything looks set.

You turn around. Wow!

We all look like Captain Picard.

The wrong sizes, they didn't fit
really the players.

I was not happy.

And I thought:
how can you be...

the game didn't even start,
being already the second best.

- : It's Harry Kane

and this is N'Jie
with the finish!

So next day,
I asked for a meeting

and said, "Hey, come on.

What can we change immediately?"

Because I really think that

these kind of things
are important.

He's gonna break for Harry Kane!

I'm not a control freak.

I just think things should
happen in a specific way.

Forward looking for Ighalo.

Who is really quick
and persistent.

And he reaps the reward!

Well, Lallana with the header.

You do sense that Liverpool will
eventually create something.

They've still not had
a shot on target.

We have some problems.

You have to solve them.
So I need help.

Of course,
we have to find good defenders

good strikers, good midfielders.

The breaking news is that

Liverpool have completed
the signing of Sadio Mane

from Southampton.

Sigurdsson...

looking deep for Fernandez,
who wins it

and it's still not away

and it's in by
Fernando Llorente.

It's a lovely ball as well.
It's two!

That was poorly defended
by Liverpool.

We need a leader,
at the back.

Big transfer story tonight.

Liverpool have got their man,
Virgil van Dijk.

I'm not a genius,
so I cannot do it alone.

Oh, Karius has lost it!

And it's in by Nathan Ake!

It is just a horrible,
horrible day for Liverpool.

Liverpool have
confirmed the world record

for a goalkeeper signing
of Alisson from Roma.

Morning.

As captain of
a football club like Liverpool

what your role is,
what you're here to do

is get the best out of yourself
get the best out of the team.

Setting the standard

making sure you've given
everything every single day.

And eventually
you'll get your rewards.

But, it doesn't stop here.

You know, you gotta keep going.
You gotta keep improving.

It's never easy
in pre-season.

You start from scratch.

What happened three weeks ago,
four weeks ago, is gone.

Winning the Champions League was
a dream come true for myself.

The celebration we had
with the fans, the parade.

Definitely,
I want to experience this again.

Champions of Europe.

But it's all about being

Champions of England now
surely.

Last year we had
the determination

we had the desire, the emotion,
the passion.

The boys played
an exceptional season.

But we have to make
the next step.

Coming out on top again

in the Premier League,
Manchester City!

Last year...

the Premier League, City was
just a little bit better.

A lot of it is mentally how we
deal with things under pressure.

What up and good morning!
We're back in Nazare.

I remember I saw
a little video on social media.

Someone on a wave and the wave
was miles in the air.

We're going to take
you guys with us

to show you a little bit
about Nazare

and the preparations
before the season starts.

Sebastian Steudtner
is a German guy.

He's the world's best
high wave surfer.

Wow.

He's all the time
in a life-threatening situation.

And if he surfs the highest
wave he ever saw

then he's looking for the next
highest wave

and he's waiting for that
the whole year.

Maybe two years,
maybe three years.

It's just so obvious where
the similarities are.

So we met him.

I was very, very interested
in what he had to say

about how he deals
with pressure.

He's like you need
to do one little slight mistake

and life could be over.

Shall we swim?

After that,
we went to the pool

and did a little bit of
breathing techniques.

You had to stay underwater
for as long as you can

and I remember I was there
for maybe 30 seconds

and that was long for myself

and he said certain things
that you can do

and then try again.

He explained them
how to cool down your mindset

how to bring yourself
in maybe a happier place

that you can do that longer.

I remember the change
was already massive

and there were some players
that were down for two

or two and a half minutes
on the water

almost three minutes,
and I was like, how?

That was absolutely incredible.

We had players. They did it
for three minutes, then.

Three minutes
after half an hour teaching.

That only means that
you can much more perform

than you ever imagined.

It's Neil Atkinson
and John Gibbons

with the Anfield Wrap. Do you
know how many supporters

we've got worldwide?

Close to 100 million.

Believe it or not

it is 450 million people
on the globe.

It's about six o'clock
in the morning

and it's going to be a big,
big turnout

and we're all...
all very excited.

So we woke up early

to come to the pub
to watch the game

and then we're going
straight to school.

Watching Liverpool
on the weekends

it's a family time.

I usually watch
either Salah or Mane

because we are both strikers.

I watch and learn
and then I put it in games.

Going to the match
with your son

is just the most special thing.

We normally get in
half an hour before

stand on The Kop,
then you sing the songs.

When the ball hits the net,
it's incredible.

It's an absolutely
special feeling.

There's no place in the world
I'd rather be than at Anfield

with my ten-year-old.

It's a while ago
that we played at Anfield.

You have to make Anfield
a fortress again.

Using your own crowd,
using the atmosphere.

- : Come on, boys, come on!

- : Here they come.

It all starts here.

You need
to get into a rhythm.

You need to get into a groove.

You see me
always looking at the Kop

when they play the song

because I just want
to soak it in, enjoy it.

The Premier League season

is underway for Liverpool.

There's a long road ahead.

Who knows what waits
at the end of that road.

You can never guess
with this football club

that's for sure.

Robertson.

Origi, it's a lovely ball
by Roberston

really got some weight on it

gives Origi
something to work with.

And he does! The first goal of
Liverpool's new season!

- It's an own goal.

Divock Origi!
- Salah gets it.

Deflection takes it to Firmino,
Salah's in!

Goal for Liverpool!
Goal for Mohamed Salah.

Buendia.

Stiepermann.

Carried away by Alisson.

No problem for 'em.

He's scored one.
Now, can Salah assist one?

Oh, there it is!
Virgil van Dijk, opening night!

How about that! Bang!

It's now Liverpool three,
Norwich City nil.

He's put the ball at his feet.

Goal kick.

Now there is a concern
for Liverpool.

Golden glove winner last season

played every minute
of the Premier League.

It doesn't bode well
for Alisson Becker this.

Don't know what it is.

It's a slip, isn't it?

Straight away put his hands
to his knee.

If you ask me
what could have been worse.

Nothing, pretty much.

The situation
was especially difficult

because I think
two weeks before...

Simon Mignolet
came in my office

and told me, "Boss,
I have a big opportunity.

I can go back to Belgium.

I can play for Club Brugge
and I really want to do that".

You know, that's pretty late,
we start next week!

"Yeah, I know,
but it's I want to go back.

Spoke to my wife".

OK. No problem.
Ali is fit.

Number three goalkeeper
in that moment.

Caoimhin Kelleher had a bicycle
accident on holiday.

Broke his...

I think his hand, which is
really bad for a goalie.

So you go through the market,
bam-bam-bam

you look,
which goalkeeper's free

and is good especially
but good and free.

To give him his full title

Adrian San Miguel del Castillo

thirty-two years old
from Seville.

He never expected a club
the stature of Liverpool

to come for him.

Adrian trained for
four days, five days with us.

Before that,
he trained by himself.

He didn't play for a year

and then first game,
Alli kicks the ball, and out.

And then wow.

And we had no time to have
these individual talks

and stuff like this
because it was like...

Well they're
coming again here Norwich.

Great save by the goalkeeper.

Save from Adrian.

That's the unbelievable
difficult situation.

Like getting from the sofa

and putting your best
performance ever on the pitch

and that's what he did.

Well, quite
the start for Liverpool.

First three points of
the new season are theirs.

Ward Prowse to deliver.

Comes all the way to--

That's an astonishing save
by Adrian.

Valeri.

That's a really good stop
by Adrian.

Liverpool's great start
to the new season continues.

Seven players
on this side

eight players on the far side.

Both of you ready
to receive behind the cones.

So here Adam ready.

Now be ready because
you can play here or there.

And from there, we start.

Pretty much everything
in football

is about organisation
and defending.

Because even when
you are attacking

you need players who are
prepared for the moment

when we have to defend again.

Trent, no here, support!

Form some support lines!
Support!

So defending is
incredibly important.

You can only feel free in life
if you have kind of protection.

Not on the same line, Trent!

What I want us to be
is feeling completely free

because we know whatever
mistake we make

there is at least one, two

three guys who will sort that
in first instance for us.

Trent!

Support here.

We want to have
as many players as possible

who can completely focus on
the offensive situation.

And it's on to Sadio Mane.

Absolutely delightful.

Mane is my favourite player
because he's really fast.

He's a really great winger.

On towards Mane! Oh yes!

Salah.

Firmino, ah, brilliant.
Salah... Salah!

Mo Salah, coming into the area.

Mo Salah coming through!

I love the fact that
we are so much multi-culti.

Having I would say
the best ambassadors

for being a Muslim in the team
is really great.

I think I need better opponent.

Robbo always lose.

Muslims wash
their body very often

in specific situations.

Before warming up,
after warming up

stuff like this,
it takes time.

And so we decided
to do things differently.

It's really not a problem,
we only adjusted our--

when do we arrive in a stadium

and when do we go back
in the dressing room

after warming up
to these rituals?

It costs us
exactly two minutes.

And it's easy to give
these two minutes away

that they can do what is
in this moment for them

absolutely important.

Brendan Rodgers'
first return to Anfield

almost four years
to the day since his departure

has made Leicester City
contenders once again.

And with that in mind,
Leicester will be a real threat

to Liverpool's perfect start
to the season today.

It's obviously four years

since Brendan Rodgers
left Liverpool.

So what kind of welcome
can he expect

on his first return to Anfield?

The reception,
I think, will be good from us.

But still,
is that not a friendly game?

Potential from Mane.

Really, really good.

The most obvious thing,
what people see

that I am very animated,
constantly grinding my teeth

and stuff like this.

I cannot look overnight
like a thinker.

Standing the 90 minutes
out there

and watching a game like this
and everybody thinks

"Oh, obviously something
must be going on his mind".

Then specific moments

I still look like a complete
idiot on the side-line.

I know that.

I had my moments.

That's why I'm probably still
a record holder in Germany

for red cards for managers

and for sure I paid them
the highest fines

in the history
of German Bundesliga.

Irony doesn't help as well,
on the side-line, obviously.

So the referees cannot really
deal with that.

I said once

I think my first red card
as a coach I got

I went to the linesman

and ask him how many
wrong decisions are allowed.

Because if it's 15,
we have one left.

And he raised his flag

and I was already
on the way to the stands.

But I calmed down.

Working harder.

Oh, that's broken through.

It's broken through
for Sadio Mane!

Just unstoppable.

Albrighton has nicely picked out
Ayoze Perez.

And here's the chance
for Maddison!

And it's James Maddison who
gets it through the goalkeeper

to level things up
for Leicester City.

Hamza Choudhury will step on
for James Maddison

the goal scorer.

Salah with Soyuncu.

Salah's done it...

Is Mo OK?
What's the latest?

How can he be OK?

He limping off the pitch
you ask me if he's OK?

How can he be OK?

Did you watch it back?
It would be...

What do you think?

Well, he was caught from behind.

But I just wondered
if you got an update

in terms of what the injury is.
What has he got?

We don't know.
How should I know now, huh?

Makes me very angry.

I have no problem
with challenges in football

because it's a contact sport.

But this boy
I was very angry with

because two weeks before,
he injured another player

and he came on
and was overly aggressive.

In these moments,
I'm really angry.

I can't describe it
in a different way

because it's the 100% truth.
I don't like it.

Salah's day is done.

I cannot really deal
with unfairness

when I feel it's unfair

for some reason, these are
things I cannot really...

I couldn't at all deal with.

Origi.

Lovely piece of control.

Really good cover.
Oh, where you going?

It's Mane, goes down

penalty kick for Liverpool!

Here comes the late drama!

He's touched him there!

Penalty kick!

Liverpool have done it again.

Jurgen Klopp's men
make it eight from eight

with astonishing late drama
at Anfield.

I've always loved Liverpool.

I've always supported them.

I wouldn't dream about playing
somewhere else.

The main message that kids
should be picking up

from my story is that
it's, anything's possible

anything can happen

because I said before
that I was

I was once that kid in
a Gerrard or Carragher shirt.

When I was six or seven

there was like a summer camp
going on at the Academy.

Liverpool sent invites
to my school.

The teacher said,
"Who wants to go?"

And every person's hand
went up in the room.

Luckily,
my name was picked out of a hat.

I always got told
I had a lot of potential

and I never,
ever wanted to waste that.

They have a excellent scouser
playing full back in your team.

With the number of assists
and goals that he's done

and the success he's had

it's brilliant for people

because they can relate to
the person.

But the ability comes first
and foremost.

Not your birthplace.

I grew up

understanding the values
of the club

the history, the tradition

the things that have happened
in the past.

Using that anger
and disappointment

is motivation
to put Liverpool back

amongst the best teams
in the world.

Next challenge,
Manchester United.

We have to be very,
very focussed.

We have to be emotional.

Big pressure game.

History is really important.

We never won there
since I am in...

Let's try it, at least,
for the first time.

When you're
playing for Liverpool

you understand
that Old Trafford...

it's one of the most difficult
grounds you'll ever play at.

It's a bitter rivalry
with Man U.

I understood it
from an early age.

They said that we are
the perfect opponent now.

I don't think there
are a lot of teams

who would love to play
against us in a moment.

It looks like Man United
is the only one...

and we have to make sure that
that is a misunderstanding.

Mo Salah's injury
against Leicester

keeps him out of the side today.

But the good news for Liverpool
is that Alisson Becker is back.

Well, there's
an old saying in football

"The most dangerous and toughest
game is your next game".

Certainly Jurgen Klopp
and Liverpool

will be taking nothing
for granted at all.

It's more than a normal game.
It's more than a normal rivalry.

Mane...

now, Manchester United
are trying to get players back

Liverpool are trying to
get players forward.

It's Firmino.

Here comes Daniel James.

Rashford goes now.
Rashford's there and scores.

So it's Marcus Rashford's goal,
it's Manchester United's lead.

Going there,
to Old Trafford, always tough.

When you're not winning,
it's about not getting too low.

Even though I wear the armband,
so many other captains

and leaders
throughout the dressing room.

We have a leadership group.

With me, Gini,
Hendo and Millie.

We are the main four that
the manager likes to speak to

and communicate with.

We had a vote.

They were the four people
that were chosen.

I think we're all
different characters

and we all can lead
in different ways.

As a centre back
you play on a position

where you have the view
of the whole pitch.

But whether it is a left winger
or a striker or back

the goalie, you know,
everyone, you can reach

with my voice at least.

It's a good adrenaline

and I want people
to shout at me as well

when I'm doing something right.

You have to be open
and honest with each other.

You have to tell everyone
the truth.

Lallana, who's
had such a retched time

with injuries over the last
couple of years.

the majority sending Henderson
on his way

Whenever I come off

I find it difficult, you know.

It's hard
when that does happen.

But it's not always about
the starting eleven.

It's your whole squad.

That's what wins you trophies.

This is Robertson.

To Lallana!

Goal for Liverpool!
Goal for Adam Lallana!

What a moment
to come from the bench

and to score at Old Trafford.

It's honours
even at Old Trafford.

The winning run comes to an end.

Pretty much everything
went against us.

Our own performance
in the first half as well

and we still got beat
and could have won the game

so this part of
the assessment, I'm fine

with the performance of
the first half, of course not.

That's just not
how it should be.

Despite how
passionate India is

about cricket

Calcutta specifically loves
football.

Forty-five years ago,
there was hardly any television

and I used to follow
all the Saturday commentaries

on the radio.

The first club which came to
my awareness was Liverpool.

The earliest memories we have

is with our dad
sitting in his lap

watching Liverpool games.

Dad taught us
to share in his passion.

Come on, guys.

Come on, Mane.
- Mane come on!

Most of our
conversations

are always bonding
about football.

Seriously, again?
Bobby is having an off day.

Even if we don't speak
for maybe two or three days

or something,
it's almost religious.

We have to interact
at the time of the game

with a little bit of banter.

Take it off, man!

Liverpool really
brings this family together.

Klopp for me is really special

is that he actually embodies
the spirit of just togetherness

of completion,
of being a family.

Not just to the players

it's to the whole
Liverpool community.

Schaffe, schaffe
Hausle baue

that describes the people
from my area...

pretty good.

They don't know exactly
how to rest.

On a Saturday morning,
that's a tradition there

you clean the street pretty much
in front of your house.

So if you don't do that

the only excuse or explanation
was you died overnight.

And that was not my character,
to be honest.

My mum was just a typical
Black Forest mum.

Caring, loving.

Full of trust and faith.

Whatever happened out there,
you come home

and she loves you anyway.

Unfortunately,
when I describe my dad

in the end when I read it
from time to time

it's not fair how it sounds.

This relationship was much more
based on respect

and clear messages.

He was an unbelievable
football player.

Kaiserslautern was a big,
big club in Germany.

Offered him a contract
when he was 18.

But my granddad was,
"You don't go for this football

you learn something serious"

and didn't allow him
to join them.

He wanted me to
fulfil his dreams.

I loved all the things
he wanted me to do.

But then, of course

it's one thing
that you love doing it

and the other thing
is that your dad

coach,
whatever you want to say

he's not happy
with the steps you do.

His style was a little bit more
about criticism

than about giving praise
for what you did.

But it's a generation,
question of generation.

I mean, I told my dad that
I would study sports science.

He was completely on fire.
He said, "Yes, do that".

He had no idea
what I could do with it.

But it was the first kid of
the family who studied at all.

So he was like,
"Yeah. Do that".

I know exactly
what he wanted me to do

being really successful
in sports.

He had to deal with
the average football player.

And the...

the real the shame of
this story is that he didn't

that he wasn't, erm

here anymore
when I became a manager.

A huge game.

How do you see it?

This game
doesn't need any build up.

It will have a huge impact on
who wins the league.

These are two, I think

quite unique teams
we have at the moment.

If Liverpool wins
the game today

I think
they will win the league.

Man City,
what they've done

over the years
has been incredible.

Mostly, they won the league,
then last year.

England's highest
quality title race of all time.

Coming out on top again
in the Premier League

Manchester City.

We all know
how massive the game was

because if you want to
become champions

you have to win at least that
game at home against them.

We have to play our best game.

Everybody in the stadium has to
be in absolutely top shape.

The guys who sell the hotdogs
has to be in a top shape.

Come early in the stadium,
get your food and go in

wait for the team.

We invest already all
our emotions before the game

and let's play football.

You know, there's
a lot at stake, of course.

The focus has got to be on what
you need to do as a team.

It's not really on
what's happened in the past.

It's only a distraction, really.

For so many years,
I've seen setbacks

and difficult moments
throughout my time at Liverpool.

But it's how you react
from them moments

and how you just keep going.

When I first come in,
I was a young player.

Kenny helped us very much,
tried to settle in

and knew how big
Liverpool was.

When you come in
to a new football club

it's not easy.

That's a little
bit tame from Jordan Henderson.

He was 19 years of age,
I think.

Every mistake he made,
he thought it was his fault.

And that's Reina beaten!

It's Yaya Toure!

Manchester City.
Top of the Premier League.

The team loses the games

and the team wins again.

Destroying yourself is not going
to be helpful to you or anybody.

With Jordan, he just needed
a little cuddle sometimes.

I can become
quite emotional within games

which sometimes isn't good.

It's Henderson.

Oh, he's heavy
with the touch-

and he could be in trouble
there, Jordan Henderson.

That was a big moment.

I got sent off
late on in the game.

I knew from that point

I was gonna miss
the next three or four games

which was gonna be tough

especially with
what we were going for

you know, something that
I'd always dreamed of doing.

That was probably the turning
point of the season.

If Liverpool win today

it means that only Manchester
City will be able to come

between Liverpool and
the first Premier League title.

Oh, and Gerrard slipped!
And Demba Ba's in here!

Ba punishes, of all people...
Steven Gerrard.

To lose that game was tough.

And then the Palace game
shortly after.

Chance here. Gayle! 3-3!

Dwight Gayle may just have
blown Liverpool

right out of the title picture.

I found it
difficult to deal with

because I was so young and never
really experienced that before.

And that was certainly
a period of time

that I learnt from so much.

I gain confidence from work.

When I work harder
than everybody else.

Whether that would be
in the gym, on the pitch.

And that obsession
has always been there

from a young age.

I never like to hear praise
to be honest.

Give it up for Jordan.

I'm my own worst critic.

I find it difficult to switch
off from football, you know

I'm constantly thinking about
football all the time.

I'm constantly thinking about
how I can improve.

When I was younger,
when I'd go home from football

I would still carry it.
It would still affect us

in me normal life.

When Jurgen come in

I feel as though he's changed
a lot for me personally

as a footballer,
but also as a human being

and helped us to understand
and look at things differently.

And that's been really big,
you know

not only in football
but in my life.

Jurgen gives him
great responsibility.

If you can play for someone
who you feel they trust you

then they're gonna give you
a whole lot of confidence.

Even if he's not fit to play

Jordan Henderson now

forms the backbone
of that dressing room.

Off the pitch
as much as on the pitch.

Let's go!

It's the new big boy rivalry

of the Premier League.

Liverpool and Manchester City
go head to head at Anfield.

Held up
by Trent Alexander-Arnold

went down under the challenge
of his England teammate.

That breaks for Bernardo Silva.

The challenge by Lovren,
they're appealing for handball.

It's Aguero who is screaming
at the referee.

Pep Guardiola is up as well

Liverpool are going clear
at the other end of the field.

If I have to describe
our organisation

I would say, organised chaos.

It's really unpredictable
what we are doing.

It's going to
come to Fabinho with the strike!

Oh! Yes!
- Wow!

Fabulous!

Absolutely stunning goal
by the Brazilian.

What a hit!

Kevin de Bruyne
with the delivery...

Sterling's header!

You don't have to be
fitter to play for Liverpool.

You just have to be fit
and you have to fit our game.

And our idea is actually not
as intense as it might look.

We do the things we do
actually to save energy.

So winning the ball back
immediately

is a two, three yard sprint.

If you don't win the ball there,
ten players have to run like 50

60 yards to win the ball back,
it's much more exhausting.

Alexander-Arnold

with a glorious cross field ball
for Andrew Robertson

and Mohamed Salah's there again!

Oh, that's beautiful!
That's Liverpool all over!

What a start for Liverpool!

Two nil against
Manchester City already.

When Jurgen come in

Jurgen brought that certain
way of playing.

It's a lot more intense.

Need to be doing specific things
in certain positions.

That style suited me personally.

You know,
in terms of my game.

High energy, counter-pressing,
the high press.

I want us to be really focussed

on the things
we can have influence on.

I cannot motivate people
by wishing that other team lose.

For me, motivation
doesn't work like this.

I want to win, but I don't want
the other team to lose

to be 100% honest.

It's just a logical result.

Henderson
pulls away from Gundogan

Bravo doesn't get there!

And Liverpool score again!

Sadio Mane on hand

to turn home
Jordan Henderson's cross.

Three, and it could be out
for Manchester City today.

People say
offences win games.

Defence win championships.

I think one without the other
cannot work.

If you're only defensively good
you will not win a championship.

But if you are both,
then you have a good chance.

Premier League wins don't come

any bigger than this.

It is an almighty
Liverpool victory.

Liverpool's win
over their biggest rivals

sends them nine points clear
at the top of the league.

The dream of winning
their first Premier League title

is getting closer.

It is bitterly cold overnight.

And again it feels colder in
the wind, there's a hard frost.

There were
a lot of challenges for us

in this period.

There's a Club World Cup.

In Europe,
nobody's really interested.

Wow, another two games
in the middle of the season.

Ian Ladyman in The Mail, Sam

writes Mo Salah and Sadio Mane
should be lining up

against Aston Villa this week.

Liverpool could have sent the
kids to the desert

for a Club World Cup tournament
that nobody cares about!

Then in the same moment

we had the League Cup game
against Aston Villa.

So people just told us,
"If you stay at home

and play that, respect
the domestic competition.

I think, OK.

I never played this tournament.

I had no idea
about the tournament.

How important it this
how or whatever.

Ali told me,
when he was a kid

their biggest game ever

was when his club played
in this final.

For them,
it meant everything.

So we will go for it.

Jurgen, do you think
there is enough

respect for this competition
in England?

Look, we are here now

and we are completely
focussed on it.

If you would ask me before hand

if I think that there
should be a Club World Cup

in the middle of our season

I would say no.

That's my honest opinion.

But we are here to represent
Liverpool and Europe.

That's all what we do.

Mo Salah! Mo Salah!

The Mo mania, it is incredible.

Mo Salah, Mo Salah...

He's a really big person
to look up to for millions

and millions and millions
of people around the world

not just Muslims
but especially

you know,
in Muslim countries.

And, yeah, I hope he can put on
a good show for them tomorrow

and the Mo mania can continue.

I think...

Mo wants me to say
something good about him.

But if you play good,
I'll say good things.

What?
- If you play good

I'll say good things.

You know what?
To the...

Step it up - you!

- Salah!

Mo Salah, Mo Salah...

Flamengo waits in the final.

Will it be a Liverpool or will
it be Monterrey who face them?

Salah.

Works it through-
Naby Keita 1-0 Liverpool.

Salah.

Alexander-Arnold,
and touched in for the winner!

Roberto Firmino for Liverpool!
In stoppage time!

Huh?

Life and love.

Flamengo against Liverpool

in the final of the 2019
FIFA Club World Cup.

Firmino, it's Roberto Firmino!

Henderson.

Looking for Mane.

It's Sadio Mane,
he's got Rafina for company.

Mane with a lovely ball infield!
Roberto Firmino! For Liverpool!

The referee looks at his watch

and Liverpool are the 2019 FIFA
Club World Cup winners!

Imagine we wouldn't have
respected this tournament

which means for the rest
of the world in this moment

pretty much everything.

Coming back then

playing on Boxing Day
against Leicester

the competitor in the moment,
away.

It's like a proper banana skin.

Headed down,
absolutely brilliant!

Roberto Firmino back from
the Middle East with goals

and scoring again
in the Premier League.

We've just become
Club World Cup champion

and played the best game
of the season, pretty much.

Unbelievable.

It was a pure football power
demonstration of my boys.

And there's
the ball is this three?

Oh, it is!

Oh, my word!

I can't put into words how good
that was!

Never before
in the history of football

a team had a bigger lead
and lost the lead.

So why should we think about
something like that?

Mane to Salah and back to him.

Firmino!

They're just beauty,
like this...

I get very early up
every morning.

I actually start thinking
immediately about

all of the possible challenges
over the days.

Mo Salah.

It's for me difficult
to describe things I do as work.

Work are other things for me.

If I only have to bring out
the bin at home

that's work.

I like preparing
training sessions.

I like analysing football games.

I cannot describe it as work.

So if nobody
would pay me for that

I would love to do it anyway.

So, thank God they pay me,
not too bad on top.

Maybe that's the description
of a workaholic. I don't know.

My wife would say 100%.
I'm pretty sure.

The reds of United

unable to halt the march...

...that will surely lead...

to Liverpool winning
a nineteenth title.

Mysterious...

Pneumonia outbreak...

In China...

Coronavirus.

It's West Ham
who will get us underway

with their captain Mark Noble.

And it's towards
Ogbonna

and it could be turned
in as well.

Oh, it might
come for Alexander-Arnold.

It will, and in by Sadio Mane!
Liverpool from behind.

Liverpool
are twelve points away

from the promised land

from the ultimate glory
in English football.

They could do it in draws

with the games remaining
in the season.

They'd like to do it in wins

and they'd like to start
with a victory at Watford.

Changes tonight for Liverpool
come in midfield.

Jordan Henderson is ruled out
through injury.

Injuries
are so hard to deal with.

I don't mind
playing through pain.

As long as I'm out there,
I'm fine.

The tough part for me is when
you're actually on the side-line

because I can't affect
and help the team.

It was a big blow

massive, because the energy
he brings in the game

the feistiness at times.

That's something that
we definitely miss.

Doucoure stole in and Sarr!

Goal!

And a shadow of a doubt
is cast over

Liverpool's cloak
of invincibility.

We didn't play well.

We had the ball so,
like for so many percentage

but we couldn't create.

Nicely done by Hughes.

And Sarr is away.

And this is a big moment!

It's two for Watford.
It's two for Ismaila Sarr.

I don't think it was pressure.

Some things didn't go our way

and obviously
it's pretty easy then

to, you know, find excuses.

Deeney...

- ...that's it now"

It's a hugely significant result
for Watford

but for Liverpool

that long, long run
is about to come to an end.

I feel so much more
responsible

for defeats than for victories

because if we lose a game

I think my message
was not clear enough.

What we did in training
wasn't clear enough.

The boys didn't get it 100%.

It doesn't mean they are dumb.

That means
I have to be more clear.

And so
Liverpool won't go unbeaten

all the way
in the Premier League.

We had not enough chances.

We didn't create enough.

And that's what you...
what leads them to a defeat.

That's how football is

and has nothing to do with
the games you won before

had nothing to do with
the games you will win.

It's just this one
football game

and for tonight,
we have to admit

that Watford was
the better team.

In the next moment,
pretty much

I realised, wow.

But we have we have
completely different problems.

It's a complete, well,
the world changed already.

Two patients from
the same family in England

have tested positive
for Coronavirus.

In breaking news tonight

New Zealand has its first
confirmed case of Coronavirus.

I remember we played
against Bournemouth.

Twenty-five points now ahead.

A big gap, really a big gap.

City played the next day
and they lost against United.

Manchester United.

In the Manchester rain

are going to do
the double over city!

I remember
lying on the couch at home

and for us it was really, phew.

So I woke up Monday morning

and heard about Madrid closing
schools and universities.

We had an incredibly
important Champion's League game

against Atletico Madrid.

I thought, OK, Madrid closing...

but there'll be five,
six thousand people

from Madrid tomorrow,
to the game.

That makes absolutely no sense.

But I had to go to
a press conference

and in this press conference,
a journalist asked me...

We come from Spain.

There's a lot of concerns about

they have closed schools
for 15 days.

Aren't you afraid that you

your players can get,
you know, exposed?

The ques- are you from Madrid?
Are you from Madrid?

I'm from Argentina.
I live in Madrid.

Are you concerned in your city
they close...

I'm not playing
football tomorrow.

That's exactly the thing
I don't like.

That you sit here
and ask me this question.

But fly from Madrid to here.

So stay there, they close
schools and universities.

But by... and you are obviously
concerned.

That's the question.

But because that's the moment
that I really get angry.

When you give me the feeling
I have a problem

which you don't have.

We have all the same problem.

I'm not--
- It was exactly.

You said,
"But I don't play football".

That's only one,
that's only one part of the--

You talk everyday
to people from close range.

What I don't do.

Why are you here?
Ask me this question.

Stay at home.

So then, I have nothing to do.
I didn't organise this game.

I'm just part of it.

So, and of course
it was not

a normal Champion's League
game for us.

It was very difficult that night
to prepare a football game

and to ask the player to do
absolutely everything to win it

without knowing what will happen
the day after.

So we played this game,
played a really good game

but lost it,
went out of the competition.

I was, I remember

I was really angry about the way
Athletic Madrid played.

But five minutes later,
after all my interviews

I thought,
"What an idiot are you?

You worry about losing
a football game

but the world is in
a most difficult place ever".

So I drove home,
next day, training, coming in

it was already clear
the league will be stopped

and now we have to organise
the lockdown.

Much of
the football events in Europe

have been put on hold,
that includes the Premier League

and the Champions League
as well.

So strange to be in the house

not knowing
what was going to happen.

When we were going to
go back to work.

When is that,
how bad is the virus?

You know, is it...

Who does it affect?
Loads of different things.

The whole club
had to do an incredible job

to keep these high-profile boys
in a safe place.

The only thing you can do
outside is going food shopping.

But that's really difficult
for a professional

very famous football player.

12107, 30076.

Total number of deaths
stands at 40597.

Hi guys.

I have accepted the challenge
from WHO.

The safe hands challenge.

So try to follow the steps
to clean my hands properly.

I learn a lot of new things.

I'm now
in charge of dishwashing

which is nice, actually,
I enjoy it.

I can, I am master of
that little machine now

and I did
my first scrambled eggs.

The challenge for next week is

I'm 52 now
and I cannot tie a tie.

After this week,
I should be able to tie a tie.

We have a very big
WhatsApp group in the team

we're sharing everything

so we always keep in touch
every day.

Look at him. You look great!

I felt in that moment

we just showed
the togetherness.

You know, how close we are
as a group.

Someone was feeling
a bit down or whatever.

Pick the phone up

or on Zoom calls
doing sessions together.

Morning everyone.

Morning!

Naby you look so nice
with the bald head!

We should start
singing, huh? Sadio's birthday.

It's your birthday?

Yes, Gini.

Come on, a quick one.
I'm only in for the singing.

You have to be
very professional.

You have to make sure that
you are doing the right things

and staying fit.

Shall we see
who's going to finish last?

Come on, Trent. Come on,
Trent, we are all watching!

Shock.
T is knackered!

I couldn't
get the ball on me neck!

Just scrawn and bone.
No muscle that's why.

You know,
at one point you just accept it

and wait for the for the right
moment to kick on again.

I miss everybody.
I just miss everybody.

Good evening, plans to ease
parts of the lockdown

have been put on hold after
an increase in COVID infections.

Christian, are you confident

that the Premier League season
will go ahead?

None of us know.
We'll see.

We have no idea.
Let's hope so.

A lot of speculation

about how the Premier League
is going to finish.

This is what Rio Ferdinand
had to say on Instagram

"I just think the Premier
League should be void".

Should we actually
still be pretending

that everything is normal

and football should
be carrying on?

Obviously, there's still
the ongoing discussion

about how are they going to
sort out the season.

From Liverpool supporters'
points of view

they can all but give us
the trophy.

They've not mathematically
won it.

So you cannot give them it.

The best thing you can do
is give them a certificate.

Better luck next year.

Obviously,
when you're in lockdown

you see all these messages
anyway.

So there was a period
if I'm honest

where I'm like,
"Pfff, can't be true".

The Dutch Eredivisie look like

they might be about to cancel
their season now.

The French league
has been null and voided.

People probably won't understand

because you're talking about
life and death here.

But... you still give everything
your whole life.

It wasn't just this year.

You know, I give everything,
my whole life

to try and win
a Premier League.

So to get to the point where
I felt we were very close

for then that to stop

and not really know
what's going to come after that

was pretty tough.

This is ITV news at ten.

It feels like a long time

since the last Premier League
football match but at last

the date has been agreed
by clubs to restart the season.

Football is back.

It will be obviously
for some reasons

completely different.

It's very
rare that you go so long

without seeing the lads
and training together

so it's been positive to be back
with the boys.

As you can imagine,
we lose a bit of a rhythm

and stuff like that
in a time like this

so it's like re-picking up
that rhythm

and picking up
where we left off

and keep winning.

There were times
when we didn't know exactly

if we will play again
in this season.

Rumours about null and void

and now we stand here

and in a couple of days,
the league will start again.

And for this, we need you.

We always needed you.

All the things are only really
special because of you.

I can promise you
we will feel your support.

I will make the boys
feel your support.

We are still with you
and you'll never walk alone.

The world has changed a lot

in the last three months.

Players
in their starting positions

all dropped down
onto one knee.

Alexander-Arnold's take--

Oh, the header was down
by Joel Matip.

The touches for Firmino.

The shot is just dragged.

Liverpool remain two wins away
from ending that 30-year wait.

It's ended honours even.

Liverpool move a point closer

towards the Premier
League title.

The fans have been inside here

and tried to dress the stadium
as best they can

with the flags that
they would normally see here.

He does go for the top corner

and finds it!

That's nice for Salah

who runs in behind
and this time makes sure.

Here's Fabinho!
Oh, how about that?

Slick from Liverpool.

Special from Liverpool,
Mane for Liverpool.

Absolutely brilliant
from Liverpool.

If it would be
like in my dreams

the stadium would now
still be packed.

My family would sit there.

I would go in with them,
I would see them

and the whole thing would be
much more emotional.

But inside me,
I feel exactly like that.

All around the world

Liverpool supporters
will be watching

Chelsea against Manchester City.

Unless City win here tonight

the title will finally be
in Liverpool's hands.

Pulisic, he's through here.

Can he finish this
Christian Pulisic?

You bet he can!

For Liverpool,
the day has finally come.

I haven't let him
celebrate at all

even though we were
20 odd points clear

he was never allowed
to celebrate.

You can't say until
Jordan Henderson's

actually lifted the trophy.

This is the first time
we've been up here since...

Grandad's funeral.

My Grandfather passed away
a month ago.

He was an avid
Liverpool supporter

he travelled all over the world.

"You'll Never Walk Alone"
was played at his funeral.

He went
to 1977 European Cup.

1978, '81, '84
and he went to Hillsborough.

We put a rose
on the Shankly statue.

He used to say football
is more important

than life, you know.

But it's not.

My father, he died,
unfortunately

nearly 20 years ago.

Now, when I look in a mirror,
I really get shocked.

I look exactly like my father.

I would today...

I would have a brilliant
relationship with him.

Because I'm now old enough

strong enough to say
what I want to say

in the right tonality.

So now I could

we could really have
completely cool conversations

and about all the things
what happened.

But unfortunately,
we definitely can't do.

But I'm Christian, so I believe
in God. I believe in heaven.

I believe in, erm, yeah.

That he's just there.

Annoying other people

and telling them
you have to watch this game

pretty much
together with me.

And I'm 100% sure about that.

If he would have seen
how my life turned

after I started as a manager

I think, yeah, he would have
been pretty happy.

Well,
it's the night where

Liverpool's championship heroes

finally get to
let their hair down

but not before
the serious business

of one of the Premier League
great rivalries

wraps up the Anfield season.

Chelsea arrive on Merseyside

knowing a win will book
their place in the top four.

Well, it wasn't how
it was meant to be.

This was supposed to be
the night where

the Liverpool fans
celebrated the heroes

ending that long wait
for the title.

They're at home
supporting from there.

But Liverpool certainly got
other things to look forward to

in their night tonight and
that's obviously

the presentation
but first and foremost

I think it's about putting
a performance on

and getting a result
in this game.

There's a very
important football game

and I expect
a good game from us

and unfortunately, a good game
from Chelsea as well.

And in the end,
we will see what happens.

Let's make it
as difficult for Chelsea

and let's make it possible
for us.

That's the plan.

And Keita
has come away with a ball.

Goal! Nice.
- Whoa!

That's really good from Mane.

The challenge was by Kovacic.

Writing the scripts himself!

Gini Wijnaldum!
Slots it home.

Lovely flick.
Oh, what a save...

It might still go in.

Giroud was on hand
to tuck the ball home.

It's 3-1.

Alexander-Arnold, Firmino!

Pulisic again. Beautiful.

And in for Tammy Abraham.

It's Pulisic, took his time.

Picks out the top corner.

It's Oxlade-Chamberlain.

He's going to replace a
disappointed Mohamed Salah.

Mane, look at Robertson
absolutely flying.

And the ball comes
all the way through.

Glorious.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain!

Well, we're Premier League
Champions we can finally say.

For me personally,
I've waited all my life.

It's one of the best nights
of my life.

The King of the Kop

Kenny Dalglish

brings the Premier League trophy
to the Kop.

One could finally die in peace

having seen them
lift the trophy.

Jurgen Klopp
has brought it home

by leading this Liverpool's side
to the greatest of glories.

For me, I was just

felt very, very proud

and honoured to be asked
to present the trophy.

Here comes the captain

the leader of the club.

Jordan Henderson
steps forward.

I wish I could
have taken the mask off

and you could have seen
the pleasure in my face.

It felt extra special

for Kenny to bring me personally
to this football club.

For him to then hand me
the Premier League trophy

was an incredible moment.

You know, something that
dreams are made of.

A team of record breakers

now Liverpool are back
where they belong.

Champions again, Liverpool!

Absolutely incredible.

It's an incredible moment.

Obviously, my coaches are
really in a good mood.

I like that. So, yeah.

No, all perfect.
Absolutely perfect night.

Let me say it again:
without crowd

it's not the same.

But, you know, we only do it
for you. We know it.

And we will have a time
we will do it together.

Congratulations to all of us.

We are Champions of England,
Europe and the world

because of you,
by the way.

Winning trophies is pretty much
the holy grail

for everybody
involved in sports.

We won the league,
but now we go for the next one.

Wow.

We have to show that we are
ready to fight for each yard

and for each result out there
and that's what I expect.

Yeah, not bad, not bad.

No, I'm fine with the title
and I don't need another one.

That's great.

The problem is
it's exactly that.

There was a long, long storm.

Rainy days
and all that stuff.

Big, great people tried it

and we were blessed to be
the ones to finally get it.

When you have tough times

you stand with people
and you'll get through it.

The song means community.

It has the same meaning
whether it's 50, 60 thousand

whether it's an empty stadium.

And at this time, it's more

apparent than it's ever been.

Everyone needs to come together.

It takes a world to come
together to make a change.

You never walk alone
is exactly that.

We all need to walk together

to make the world
a better place.

It's an incredible song.

It's a very special anthem

and it's our anthem.
