Bring the Noise

The Jürgen Klopp Story

JüKlopp's coaching career began in the German second tier at the unfashionable club of FSV Mainz 05, whom he steered to the Bundesliga for the first time in forty-one years. In 2008, he joined Borussia Dortmund, where he achieved back-to-back league titles and took the club to the UEFA Champions League final. He left Germany for one of the England's most challenging jobs: to manage Liverpool, a once-mighty club that had not managed sustained success since the 1980s.
It was not a task for the fainthearted. Anfield, Liverpool's home, is a temple to flamboyant attacking soccer powered by passion. In Klopp, Liverpool finally found a manager who embodied the essence of the club. Klopp is dynamic, expressive, restless, driven-he feels every move and play, every tactical shift, every contact on the field. His eyes betray a wild ecstasy and agony as his team thrives or falls. His game plan demands relentless commitment-the famous gegenpress-and he is one of the great personal motivators in all sport.
Raphael Honigstein, author of Das Reboot and Budesliga correspondent for the Guardian, has interviewed Klopp and followed his career since his early years, and better than anyone knows how to "bring the noise" to his subject.

      Honigstein (Das Reboot, 2015), a leading authority on German soccer via print journalism, TV punditry, and podcasting, examines the career of Jurgen Klopp, the inspirational manager who took charge of Liverpool Football Club after engineering stunning turnarounds at Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund. A leading proponent of a high-energy, counter-pressing style of play (gegenpressing), Klopp has previously managed to get teams to punch above their weight through tactics and careful cultivation of the twelfth man (i.e., the crowd), turning stadia into cauldrons of noise and excitement. (Some call it heavy metal football. ) But while casual fans might see Kloppo as merely a manager who jumps around on the sideline, Honigstein digs deep to reveal a competitive, charismatic, and thoughtful man whothough prone to apologizing for mercurial outburstshas in many ways outperformed his own limitations through hard work and passionate determination. The jury's still out on his accomplishments at the legendary LFC, but fans of European soccer should love this page-turning take on one of the most fascinating figures in the sport.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
