I read that interview and yeah, how could anyone not love him. And I completely agree with him about Kagawa but he's expecting a general mindshift amongst players before anything changes. He may even be right about building a worldbeating side but the problem will always be sustaining it. For the most part players follow the money and even if Dortmund win the next two CLs they'll still be way below the spending power of a Bayern, or a Real, and that's before you get to the bottomless pockets represented by the likes of Chelsea or Man City. (And I'm convinced the Financial Fair Play thing won't make a jot of difference to that.) Klopp represents how the game should be run but it just isn't and I doubt that it ever will.
