Divock Origi will always be a legend at Liverpool.
If you ever get the chance to do the stadium tour at Anfield, you’ll quickly realise just what a club icon Origi is. His face is still plastered all over the stadium due to how many important moments he played a part in for the Reds.
Origi scored big goals in big games time and time again for the Merseyside club, and, as you can imagine, he still has a soft spot for the Reds in his heart.
Speaking to Goal, Origi has been discussing his former manager, Jurgen Klopp, and his pre-match team talk for that famous game against Barcelona, and he maintains that Klopp is still the best pre-match motivational speaker he’s ever seen.
Klopp is the best
Origi spoke about his former manager.
“To be honest in terms of speeches before games, he’s the best I’ve seen, goosebumps bro, he speaks from the heart bro, it’s crazy. I just remember. I don’t remember exactly what he said (before the Barcelona game), but he came with the energy, he was like ‘yeah we can do this’,” Origi said.
What did he say?
We don’t doubt that Klopp is one of the very best motivational speakers in football, but we can’t help but wonder what was said before that Barcelona game.
Liverpool’s 4-0 win at Anfield that night may well be the greatest comeback we’ve ever seen in football, and it must’ve taken something special from the manager to pull that sort of showing out of his players on that stage against that team.
Unfortunately, Origi was unable to recount exactly what Klopp said to the team on that day, but whatever it was, it clearly worked as Liverpool went on to record perhaps the most famous win in Anfield history.
