"I'm an older man and I'm not going to waste time hiding behind my opinion. When he came on, I heard booing. It took me ten seconds to understand it, and then I turned off the TV. At that moment, I couldn't have been more disappointed; that's not us."

"However, we ignore the bad and remember the good. You don't have to be happy that he's leaving, but remember what he's done for this club," DPA quoted Klopp as saying.

"He gave everything for this club every day for 20 years. Now he's decided to go somewhere else. Maybe the owners are angry that he didn't sign a new contract, but we're not." Klopp added.
