Speaking about his contract extension, Klopp said, "I really think it's a good place to be or a good place to join, if not the perfect place. The world is in a difficult situation; it's not only coronavirus, but it's also Ukraine, it's so many things, and then on a less important level, big clubs have problems here and there with money and these kind of things."

"I've already been here for a while, and this isn't a contract where you have a look and go: 'This is really nice. Let's stay here forever because the people like us.' Internally with the coaching staff, it's really like this. It's no threat. It is only the start. That's the plan that we go for it. There are no guarantees in our sport, so we have to enjoy the journey," concluded Klopp.
