Here’s What Jürgen Klopp Did Following Liverpool’s Victory Over Leicester City

Curtis Jones revealed that he received a congratulatory message from former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp after the team’s 3-1 victory over Leicester City. The game was a special occasion for Jones, as he reached his 100th Premier League appearance and scored the goal that put Liverpool in the lead. Reflecting on Klopp’s message, Jones expressed both surprise and pride at being acknowledged by the man who gave him his Premier League debut in 2019.

Although Klopp left Liverpool last summer, he remains closely tied to the club and its players, despite stepping down from his managerial role. He is set to begin a new chapter with the Red Bull group next week. Jones credited Klopp for laying the foundation for Liverpool’s ongoing success under current manager Arne Slot, emphasizing the strong base Klopp built during his tenure at Anfield.

Looking back on the moment, Jones admitted that he was unaware of his milestone until after the game. “I usually message my family after games,” he shared with *Match of the Day*. “I saw a text from Klopp saying, ‘Congratulations on 100 games and here’s to 500.’ I was confused at first but then checked and realized. It’s something to be proud of.” Jones also acknowledged Klopp’s influence on the club, saying, “He’s the one who built this team. The foundation was set, and Arne Slot has continued building on it.”

Looking forward, Jones recognized the challenges of the season and emphasized the need for focus. “There are so many games to play, and whether it’s a team at the top, middle, or bottom of the table, it’s always a challenge. The goal is to try and win every game, and if we do that, we all know what can happen at the end of the season.”

Reflecting on Liverpool’s performance against Leicester, Jones praised the team’s resilience and tactical adjustments. “It was a tough game,” he said. “They sat back and defended well, which made it hard to find space. In the first half, we crossed the ball too much, which played into their plan. But in the second half, we adjusted, kept possession, and that’s when the goals started coming.”

Jones also lauded Liverpool’s mentality and determination. “When we go a goal down, we don’t panic. We push to equalize before halftime and come out strong in the second half to take the lead. Our mentality is simple: we want to win every game.”

The midfielder’s reflections highlight both his personal development and Liverpool’s ongoing commitment to success.
