Klopp: Jesus' sacrifice the "greatest act"

Klopp: Jesus' sacrifice the "greatest act"

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp’s Christian faith could be holding him back as a manager, claims a website, after the German admitted his beliefs are a “double-edged sword”.

Klopp has previously told the BBC his faith causes him to “think other people can have success too – it’s not all about me”.

Now Medium.com has stated: “Klopp’s moral compass, shaped by his Christian faith, appears to be influencing his strategic decisions, possibly to the detriment of Liverpool’s ambitions.”

It questions: “should Liverpool, and Klopp himself, rethink the balance between faith, compassion, and the cut-throat realities of top-tier football?”

The website’s “Controversial Football” section speculates that Klopp’s Christianity might cause him to be too loyal to players and refuse to spend the money needed to rebuild his Anfield side.

The Liverpool manager is open about his faith, previously telling the German media: “Jesus Christ is the most important person in history."
