All the latest news and analysis from Anfield on the Liverpool Echo's dedicated LFC Facebook page"I mean we had a good time and nobody, I mean it, nobody has to say thank you to me or whatever and I hear it quite often," Klopp says."Because I have to say thank you for the exact same reasons. I do it all the time when I see people: 'Oh thank you, for supporting us over the years.'"So it is just what we needed was what we experienced and it just was our life.

We tried to do absolutely everything to be as successful as possible and it worked sometimes, sometimes it didn't."We failed big, we failed in moments and the thing is this is what I always wanted, when I am old, looking back and having a smile on my face."Nobody can think back to these nine years without a smile on their face because it was just great. Everything about it, how connected we were."So I understand 100% why people are happy when they see me because I stand for this period.

And I am as happy as they are when I see them because they stand for this period [also]."And yesterday when I saw these kids at the Anfield Community Centre and they were 10 [saying]:'I love you more than my dad!' And they were two or one or not even born when I arrived!"The German, who is now head of global soccer at Red Bull, also believes he was able to build Liverpool up because he was given enough time to grow and improve the squad following his arrival in October 2015 when he succeeded Brendan Rodgers.Klopp added: "Everything needs time. It all has to develop, has to grow and that is what we did."The players, they were fantastic, but to win the Premier League, you need special players and we brought them in step by step, year by year, with money we earned from other transfers and stuff like that."I would have loved to have played a full season with Philippe Coutinho, Bobby Firmino, Sadio [Mane] and Mo [Salah].
