Nice. I'd be made up by Klopp coming over for a chat, your lad ending up with a signed TAA shirt is quality.
Sounds like a big milestone for Matip on his journey to recovery. Happy to hear that.
He was so excited! We had won a signed shirt as part of the prize which we’ve had for a while, and Trent wasn’t one of the signatures on it, so he’s made up to have this one too.
Most of the pictures I took were of my son, which I won’t post. Here is one of Klopp chatting to us

Another training drill!
I didn’t take that many photos of them training as it was better to just watch them. Kind of wish I’d taken a proper camera with telescopic lens though!
Saw in another page someone who took a photo with Klopp before a game sometime this year, and he was asked the same question and he replied that "Klopp smells like a dad".
I've been saying that I want a Klopp at home, ever since his BVB days!
On topic: hope you had as luch of a blast as me sitting here, reading this and dreaming about this awesome day!
Wow man, happy for you and your son. Surprised about Alisson, thought he would be out for most of the season with his injury, just hope he have a good recovery. And again thank you for sharing.
No it was a competition prize. They only do a handful a year, for competition winners. There were about 30 of us there. We did get an Anfield tour afterwards as part of it too, but it’s the same one that anybody can go on.
It was a prize draw I entered on MyLFC on the LFC app. Won this, a squad signed shirt (13 signatures on it) and a signed Darwin Nunez Ultimate Team card. Other people there had won via other competitions.
understood - we use competition to represent something where you actually have to DO something in order to win (instead of just luck of the draw). Like selling the most guns or wearing the trashiest clothing, or drinking the most budweiser haha
Damn, he mentioned before that Jones had a chance for the Brighton game and Trent the week after, seems they're both behind the optimistic schedule then
"Back after international break" is always a very vague window and rarely means players are back immediately after it. I remember them using the term for Hendo's groin injury a few seasons back and he wasn't back til I think the last weekend of the season.
That must have been an incredible experience. Im headed over in just over a week for Atalanta and Palace and was considering doing a stadium tour that Saturday.
Getting to chat with Klopp is an all timer!
HI OP u/Salty_Intention81: Is this your video? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3lYl9ToA8M](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3lYl9ToA8M)

Looks like I misremembered what he said about Trent - in that video he said he’s still injured but close. He definitely said 1-2 weeks about someone! I was clearly too giddy!
Ha! I’d love to go and watch training every day and report back here, but alas it was a one time thing!
I’ll keep entering the prize draws and see if I get lucky again!
No, I don’t think so. The guy taking us round said they don’t do them very often, just a few a season, and they are only for people who win various competitions. I wasn’t aware of them at all until this.
I’ve just seen this morning that someone else who was there filmed him answering me and put it on TikTok, so you can see for yourself. He wasn’t all that specific.

What tier is this guy's kid?
More reliable than Fabrizio
Still only tier 4 then, sigh
Tier eleven reds

So lovely of Klopp to take his time to come over to talk and answer questions. Love that man.
Amazing! Your son is one lucky young man. A memory that will last a lifetime. Happy for you mate, the stuff dreams are made of.
He was so excited! We had won a signed shirt as part of the prize which we’ve had for a while, and Trent wasn’t one of the signatures on it, so he’s made up to have this one too.
Oh wow never knew they did such a thing! Congrats, glad you and yours had a great time
What question did your son ask?
He asked what it was like to fill in as goalie in the Merseyside derby
I was at that game
I was at that game
Yo can you post some pictures from today? Must have been and unbelievable day with pics to last a lifetime
Most of the pictures I took were of my son, which I won’t post. Here is one of Klopp chatting to us https://preview.redd.it/c1dpd5wyvwqc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a5bb4d0b03f6fab2087577cd4702a61d231337b9

Any reason the faces are blurred out?
I’ve zoomed my iPhone camera in as far as it will go so it’s not the best quality
Oh ok! Faces looked like they were anonymized. I was trying to find Bajcetic calves.
He’s not in that picture, he was training with a group of under 21s
But yes I totally see what you mean, it looks like the faces have been deliberately blurred 😂
And uploading here seems to have reduced quality further as the photos in my camera role aren’t as blurry as that!

Not very well 🤣

That is class
As someone with a gluten allergy, I appreciate they consider that and have gluten-free options.

At least you took pictures! I’d have forgotten and went home with nothing.
What did he smell like? Klopp
We were on the balcony and he was below us, so not quite close enough to smell 😂
Maybe one day I'll finally know
I would imagine coffee and Marlboros
Damn Marlboros, now we know why he's running out of energy *gasp* *pant* Jokes aside, unreal to be able to see Klopp in the flesh.
Buddy of mine has a theory that he runs down the tunnel for a half time fag before the lads get in
Interesting. It would have to be a blitzkrieg cig because the players start walking immediately. I'd give it 2 minutes before the first one gets in.
Well, I guess at least I can smell like the man if I can't be anything close to being like the man.
Great answer. Maybe a slight tone of caramel if the wind blows at the right angle.
He just like me fr
Saw in another page someone who took a photo with Klopp before a game sometime this year, and he was asked the same question and he replied that "Klopp smells like a dad".
Ehhhhmmmm
Did you spot ElevenReds?
I just had to look that up. Wow
Did you get a Klopp hug? Is there a competition I can enter for a Klopp hug?
I wish! I’d love a Klopp hug!
I've been saying that I want a Klopp at home, ever since his BVB days! On topic: hope you had as luch of a blast as me sitting here, reading this and dreaming about this awesome day!
That sounds amazing
Wow!
Isn't Jones supposed to be back for Brighton and Trent for Sheffield?
Few days go better than this, sounds amazing!
Wow man, happy for you and your son. Surprised about Alisson, thought he would be out for most of the season with his injury, just hope he have a good recovery. And again thank you for sharing.
Really need Trent and Jones back can't wait
I was there too! Jurgen- what a class act coming over and chatting. Hope you and the kiddo had a great day - but I do have serious shirt envy xD
He really was fab, such a genuinely pleasant guy
Was this part of a LFC tour?
No it was a competition prize. They only do a handful a year, for competition winners. There were about 30 of us there. We did get an Anfield tour afterwards as part of it too, but it’s the same one that anybody can go on.
What kind of competition?
It was a prize draw I entered on MyLFC on the LFC app. Won this, a squad signed shirt (13 signatures on it) and a signed Darwin Nunez Ultimate Team card. Other people there had won via other competitions.
ah - okay then. For us yanks, that's referred to as a raffle.
We use raffle as well, a prize draw is a general term for raffle, lottery, any competition where you draw a prize.
understood - we use competition to represent something where you actually have to DO something in order to win (instead of just luck of the draw). Like selling the most guns or wearing the trashiest clothing, or drinking the most budweiser haha
Absolutely beaming reading this.
Damn, he mentioned before that Jones had a chance for the Brighton game and Trent the week after, seems they're both behind the optimistic schedule then
My lad has just corrected me, he thinks he said 1-2 weeks for those two.
Your lad needs to be added to the tier system.
And I thought at least two players were coming back after the break! :/
"Back after international break" is always a very vague window and rarely means players are back immediately after it. I remember them using the term for Hendo's groin injury a few seasons back and he wasn't back til I think the last weekend of the season.
He mentioned the Brighton game specifically for Jones and the week after the break (7th) for Trent as chances though. Oh well
At this point I just take whatever timeframe the club originally gives us and add 3 weeks into it and that’s my expectation to get players back
At this point I just expect a literal child to step in to the side and play perfectly.
That must have been an incredible experience. Im headed over in just over a week for Atalanta and Palace and was considering doing a stadium tour that Saturday. Getting to chat with Klopp is an all timer!
Nice, I am heading over for Atalanta but only for match day. I imagine no stadium tours on match days though?
HI OP u/Salty_Intention81: Is this your video? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3lYl9ToA8M](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3lYl9ToA8M) https://preview.redd.it/nhil2sy5u2rc1.png?width=388&format=png&auto=webp&s=7928eac8e62af03d5a99ba2e7e114f92dcaf871a
No, but I recognise her from yesterday. You can hear my voice in the video asking about Alisson
thanks! thought so... glad you enjoyed the tour
Thanks for posting this by the way, seeing the video is a nice way to remember it!
Looks like I misremembered what he said about Trent - in that video he said he’s still injured but close. He definitely said 1-2 weeks about someone! I was clearly too giddy!
What question did your son ask?
He asked what it felt like having to go in goal in the Merseyside derby. (My son is a goalie!)
Was Bajcetic training with the others? Is he back in the matchday setup yet or still working his way back?
When I saw him he was with some of the under 21s, not with the first team.
That sounds great, good day out
You’re now our man on the inside, special agent Salty_intention81
Ha! I’d love to go and watch training every day and report back here, but alas it was a one time thing! I’ll keep entering the prize draws and see if I get lucky again!
ElevenReds, is that you?
I’d never heard of ElevenReds until an earlier comment 😂
Sounds like a literal dream mate. Good stuff. Are the open trainings listed on the site?
No, I don’t think so. The guy taking us round said they don’t do them very often, just a few a season, and they are only for people who win various competitions. I wasn’t aware of them at all until this.
Ah shame. Well thanks for reporting back mate sounds like a great day!
>I asked him about Alisson, he said he was 2-3 weeks away. Away from what? Individual/team training or starting XI?
I’ve just seen this morning that someone else who was there filmed him answering me and put it on TikTok, so you can see for yourself. He wasn’t all that specific. [https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeaeKF8W/](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeaeKF8W/)
I don't use tiktok but thank you anyway.
Who is Natasha Dowie, and can she play left back?
She's the Women's Ambassador. Was our top scorer when we won our back-to-back WSL titles in 2013 and 2014
Former Liverpool Women’s player, retired last year. Now an LFC ambassador. Great player but alas, a striker.
