That was reduced to a potential treble last Sunday when Manchester City clinched top spot on the final day of the league season. But most importantly, in between the stories the book also brilliantly captures the essence of Jürgen Klopp's tremendous, larger-than-life, personality and the wisdom and intellect that match it. Hence, it is similar with reading books about basketball’s John Wooden or American football’s Vince Lombardy, where we can learn so much more from the great men and from the lessons that they teach us for life outside their respective sports. Esmalt üllatas mind, et eesti keelde tõlkis selle Aet Süvari. Tõlge oli isenesest üpris hea ja lugemine meeldiv. Peatükkide järjestus mulle ei sobinud. Pidev tõmblemine Liverpool - Dortmund- Mainz liinil tegi üldpildi jälgimise asjatult keerukaks. Oleks eelistanud kronoloogilist lähenemist.

However, the book rarely delves too far into Klopp's management style, other than the extent to which he uses player stats in his management, which is not much. More coverage is given to the tactical changes during his playing career than during his management career, and there is too much of an emphasis on his team's results, rather than his role as manager - with the notable exception of his touchline antics. The rather flat narrative of his team's results means that his poorer performances are never questioned - he stuggled to get Mainz promoted, faltering at the end of the season, and Mainz's relegation is excused as he had to sell some players. Although Dortmund were at a low ebb, they are still a massive German team, and the underdog story was taken a bit too far for a club of Dortmund's resources. That said, he did win the Bundesliga twice, which was an undeniably great achievement, but that doesn't excuse him of any criticism whatsoever. Terve raamat keskendub sellele, kuidas Klopp suudab teha keskpärastest mängijatest suurepärase meeskonna, aga päris nii see ka ei ole. Võrreldes Liverpooli sellega kui ta tuli ja mis seal praegu on, siis on meeskonnast ikka tohutu hunnik mehi minema transporditud. Seda keskpärasust kiputakse vaatama mängijate hinnasildi järgi, kelle ta sisse tõi (Mane, Salah, Firminho). Mulle endale tundub, et Klopp on üks geniaalsemaid spordiinvestoreid. Tema uudne idee lihtsalt suutis genereerida tulu mängijatelt, kellest tippklubid muidu mööda vaatasid. Suurem jagu tippklubide taktikast keskendus seal 2 või 3 mehe ümber. Real Madrid ratsutas veel ronaldo seljas, Barcelonal oli Messi. Klopp ehitas üles 11 mehest koosnevat sünkroonselt toimivat masinat. Klopp comes across in the book in the same way he does on TV. He clearly has a huge work ethic and builds a very strong connection with his players. The access that Honigstein had to so many people close to Klopp at different times of his life and career gives a great insight into his tactics and his management.I had decided on the title of the book long before writing down the very first word of it. Because it summarises everything that I wanted to explain: how Klopp’s human touch, faith in the principles of teamwork and true love for fellow human beings created a beautiful working environment. Raamatu lõppsõnas oli kirjas ..." Tal on mängijaga väga head suhted, ta suudab olla neile sõbra eest, aga vajaduse korral olla ka karm ja neile peapesu teha. Ta võib olla ka väga halastamatu." Üldiselt oli tegu 300 lk kiidulauluga Kloppile ja nõus, ta ongi suurepärane treener, aga kordagi ei kirjutatud milliste ohverdustega see tuli. Järjekordselt oli väga vähe juttu ta naisest, kui palju mängis tema rolli Kloppi elu tasakaalustamises? Konfliktid olid ainult põgusalt ära mainitud. I have a strong feeling we will come again. The boys are competitive. We will have an outstanding group next season," said Klopp. And he's also good at protecting his players: “The Liverpool boss also reminded his men again about the pact he had made with them shortly after coming into the job in October 2015. ‘When you win, it’s down to you and when you lose, it’s down to me,’ he had told them in a bid to ease unspoken concerns about the new, complex and very demanding playing style.” Sein Leben wird sehr sprunghaft erzählt, es wechselt ständig zwischen Mainzer, Dortmunder und Liverpooler Zeiten und der eigenen Jugend, was für mich nicht unbedingt die richtige Reihenfolge in einer Biographie ist und dabei hilft eine Person besser zu verstehen.

They can be proud of their achievements' Liverpool had 24 shots, the most on record (since 2003-04) without scoring for a team in a single Champions League final. I’m a big fan of Raphael Honigstein’s writing – in particular his book Das Reboot. Like his other work, this book is well written, well researched and a very enjoyable read.This is what I love the most about him. The never give up mentality and the attitude of standing up every time you fall. Because, at the end of the storm, there is a golden sky.

We had chances, came up against an unbelievable keeper. Being honest though, we could have played better. There are a few areas in the book where more detail would have been interesting. The section on the type of player Klopp looked to sign was very interesting but I would have like more detail on why certain players were signed – what was it about Lewandawski that made Dortmund pull the trigger for example when he was overlooked by other clubs? The book itself is very personal and intimate with lots of interviews from the people at the heart of the life and career of Kloppo. It gives a great insight to the man inside the manager. It is easy to see how he can motivate the teams to go above and beyond.Former England captain Alan Shearer said the players should be able to reflect positively on what they had done this season, despite the disappointment of missing out on league and European honours. But former Manchester City defender Micah Richards, speaking before the final, said it would be hard not to see failing to win the Champions League as taking the shine off an otherwise impressive campaign for the Reds. Bring the Noise' is a solid introduction to the man & his managerial and tactical philosophy but feels under-developed in all the crucial areas. As a Liverpool fan, one hopes a few more successful chapters will help to solve this problem for the next edition! Losing the Champions League is a disappointing season," Richards said. "Liverpool have been incredible but you look at winners, we are talking about the league being special and then the Champions League. He said on BBC Radio 5 Live: "After the season that they have had. to have the disappointment of losing out on the league and then this one as well, they [Liverpool] can still be very proud of what they have achieved this season.

My personal view of Klopp is that he is a likeable, competent manager who escapes close scrutiny compared to other characters who have had similar results. This book provides plenty of evidence that Klopp has had his fair share of disappointing spells, but one thing I did learn is that Klopp fosters a familial atmosphere that makes short-term results less important, which offers an explanation why. The Aston Villa boss told BT Sport: "Liverpool didn't do a lot wrong, just came up against a top goalkeeper and defence. Liverpool will dust themselves down and go again for everything next season." His philosophies, of course, also projected in his footballing approach. He's very demanding but fair, he always push his boys to the limit but never throw them discouraging critics. He's the ultimate authority but he's "one of them". He parties with them, exchange jokes with them, the hugs, oh the many hugs, and he genuinely value everyone at the club from top to bottom. In fact at the start of his tenure in Liverpool, he gathered everyone in one room, from players to the toilet cleaner and the lunch lady and ask them introduce to one another, to create a togetherness atmosphere in the club. For football addicts, this book would have been fascinating because there were so many mentions of players and historical football tournaments the author made reference to. I couldn't follow these parts of the book, but what I really liked about the book is the author gave enough emphasis on how Klopp started, grew and learnt about the art of football and also about Klopp's superb character which nails him to be a great football manager.

Whilst a generally interesting read for football fans, the biggest issue with Honigstein's book is that it falls between two stools, being neither a detailed biography of Jurgen Klopp, nor an extensive expose of his tactical philosophy. If the benchmark for recent football managerial studies is 'Pep Confidential' by Marti Perarnau then 'Bring the Noise' comes about as close as Liverpool's title challenge in the 17/18 season i.e. disappointingly (but predictably) short. That said, although both the study of the man and of his tactics seem half-baked, there are a few interesting conclusions that can be drawn from Klopp's story - ones which are useful to consider in the context of the current direction that Liverpool FC are heading. Even my husband (who is a Liverpool fan) was surprised to know that I read this book on Klopp. I was a bit disappointed when I read at the beginning where the writer mentions that this book is not about Klopp's life but it's about his journey as a football player and then a manager. This is not just a football book. It is not about the coach, the tactics etc. It is about the leader, the motivator, the father figure, the socialist man politically and socially. Liverpool had plenty of chances in the first half against Real at the Stade de France, but found goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in outstanding form as the former Chelsea player made several superb saves. Yes, the core of this book is about Klopp’s strong values, it's about his work ethic, his natural charisma, his clear conscious between what's right and what's wrong. One single passage in the book perfectly describes this philosophy: “But unlike Bill Shankly, Klopp has never believed that sport is everything. It can’t be. ‘If life would be judged at the end, and you stood at that door, and somebody asked you “Did you win something or not?” that would be really strange. But: “Did you try everything to improve the place you’ve been in, the house you lived in, the mood, the love?” “Yes, I tried, every day.” “Then come in.” And all the other guys, who won ignoring all the rules, all the laws – I think they have to use another door. I didn’t do that much in my life. But when we won it felt incredible (because) we always won it in the right way. You have to be patient. You have to work harder than others. You have to try, over a long period. Then you have a chance.’”
