Jurgen Klopp Chooses Team in Title Race

Jurgen Klopp, who is known for his emotional connection to football, has expressed his support for his former club Borussia Dortmund in their battle against Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title. In an interview with Bild, Klopp said: “It’s probably no secret that I want BVB to be champions, because what you experience then, you never forget. With the trophy around the Borsigplatz (an area of Dortmund), that’s still one of the really big highlights of my career. I would like to give that to the fans, club, coach and players this year.” Klopp also revealed that he “regularly” calls Dortmund CEO Aki Watzke to congratulate him after a win and added: “I believe that the boys can do it. The opportunity is so great, they will use it!” Dortmund are currently one point behind Bayern with four games remaining, but if they were to triumph this season, it would be the first time anyone has beaten the Bavarians to the title since Klopp was in Germany. Klopp has already won two Bundesliga titles with Dortmund and a Premier League title with Liverpool, and he is adored at Mainz too, the other of the three clubs he has managed. When the time comes for Jurgen to leave Anfield, he will be welcomed back with open arms anytime.
