With some doe-eyed nostalgic Liverpool fans (including this one, just a little) clambering for the band to get back together following the speculation that Steven Gerrard could be suiting up once again for the Reds, Jurgen Klopp was quick to prove he isn’t a big softy and hasn’t fallen for the romantic idea of a club legend returning to play once again.
Speaking ahead of Liverpool’s Europa League game against Kazan, Klopp politely welcomed Gerrard back to the club insisting that the “doors are always open” but only if he promises to train and not turn up for the pre-match warm up on Saturday’s.
What a relief. The thought of Gerrard creaking around Anfield trying to carry out Klopp’s gegenpressing in the near future, would have been to much to watch.
