LIVERPOOL MANAGER JURGEN Klopp says he wants to have a reason to celebrate every year as sets his targets at Anfield for the next six years.
Klopp signed a contract extension in July that will keep him in Liverpool until 2022.
The former Borussia Dortmund boss enjoyed a relatively fruitful first season at Anfield, reaching the final of both the Europa League and League Cup.
While Liverpool failed to take home any trophies, Klopp says he wants to win silverware in each of his next six seasons with the club.
“I would like to celebrate in six years, six times after six seasons, each time really celebrate something. That would be great,” the German told the Premier League Show.
“Driving on a big bus through Liverpool, celebrating with 700,000 people. I’d love to do that. That would be nice.”
On extending his contract by a further four years, Klopp said: ”It was so easy to say yes.
“I’ve said it before, the club would have found another manager, I would have found another club. It’s not about having no alternative, it’s about thinking ‘yes, let’s do it’.
“It was around the Brexit decision so everyone was thinking what would happen, and I really liked giving a sign that we are still Europe. Whatever happens, we are still Europe. I live here, we are so similar.
“OK, we are quite different in a lot of things, especially what we eat, but we are so similar.
“I feel really good in this moment, and, hopefully, after six years, we will look back and think it wasn’t a waste of time, it was good.”

Shaw’s looking lively, hope he can find some consistent form in the coming weeks
Souness and Lennon criticism Pogba on tv3 just when everyone is realising just how good he is. They talk some sh#te. They said matic is a better player hahah. Don’t get me wrong matic is good but no Pogba..
@Breno Rodgers: everyone? I think most people outside of united fans think he’s inconsistent with good moments.
@Paul Mallon: Ye forgot Henderson is better or can or wijnaldum or or …. Ye nobody best all round cm in the league imo. De Britney best cam and Kante best cdm
@Breno Rodgers: oops you did it again
@Breno Rodgers: abit sensitive
@Paul Mallon: coming from someone called melon
@Breno Rodgers: Naby Keita is better.
Should be a stroll in the park for United. Resting De Gea, Matic and Zlatan for the weekend. 4-0
@Enda McCallion: what makes you think it’s going to be a stroll? United got lucky against arsenal
@Acedeuce: You still sore over that Ace?
@Nollaig Elliot: just got back curious as to why he’s so confident
@Acedeuce: united murdered arsenal
@Acedeuce: since we’re bringing up old games, I’d 8 – 2 be an Arsenal supporter
@Acedeuce: my guess is the quality of the opposition. Although he was wrong, no hiding CSKA are shit.
Acedeuce….yeah lucky to score more goals , lucky to defend like hell , lucky to play with 10 men , best goalkeeping performance in the league , arsenal couldn’t capitalise on numeric advantage….only scored once ? but united were just lucky , your fking clueless mate
He was not offside as he went off the pitch as a part of play and without permission from the ref, he is considered to still be “active within the game.”
@John: go away with your facts and knowledge, they are not welcome here.
Celtic stream?
@Ollie Watson: who?
@Ollie Watson: Celtic Tenors??
@Johnny Bravo: haha
Should have been a penalty earlier, but that goal should not stand….
@Graham: Of course it stands. Blind was the 2nd player keeping him on.
@seancreaven13: blind isn’t active?
@Lefty: Blind slid off the pitch. He couldn’t get back on to effect the game therefore he is not in play. If he just strolled off voluntarily then he would still be in play. Goal should not have stood.
@Lefty: Well it’s down to the officials to decide whether he’s active or not. A defender can’t run off the pitch to play a striker offside.
So yes, in this case, the officials decided he WAS active.
Doesn’t matter in the context of the game now, but it WAS definitely a goal.
@Lefty: look up the rules, if a player leaves the pitch without permission from the ref they are still considered to be in play (Blind was considered to be on the goal line)
@Arthur Pewty: Sorry, but you’re wrong. He COULD have gotten back on the pitch, and didn’t.
Whether he leaves the pitch voluntarily or not isn’t the issue. He COULD have gotten back on the pitch, so he’s correctly deemed to be active.
@The Dude: Ya to be honest it’s a sketchy rule and on the television they were in no doubt it shouldn’t have stood and there point seemed pretty valid think it’s harsh on Blind but suppose his intentions can lead for debate!!the confusion was also led by the fact they didn’t acknowledge dzagoev as the goalscorer
@seancreaven13: he couldn’t have though…. That’s where you are wrong.
@Arthur Pewty: The point is there was nothing to prevent him coming back, nor forcing him off. Therefore the striker is potentially disadvantaged by his absence BEHIND the line… so he is deemed “active”, because he could be.
It’s a goal. Let it go ffs.
