Jurgen Klopp’s reasons for leaving Liverpool becomes clearer following academy development

LIVERPOOL 5-2 NORWICH: The Reds cruised past Norwich at Anfield to advance to the FA Cup’s fifth round, where they will take on Watford or Southampton.

Jurgen Klopp would much rather it if every Liverpool game from now until the end of the season—especially the ones at Anfield—didn’t become all about him, even if he is almost certainly going to fail in this objective.

During his press conference after Friday’s shocking announcement, the Reds manager made an effort to silence any talk of him leaving the team until the end of the season, but once more, he must have known what lay ahead of him before to the match against Norwich. then after that, while it was happening. and following it after that.

Although Klopp has taught Liverpool supporters a lot, he won’t get his wish in this particular instance.

The most he could hope for was that those who had supported him over the years don’t say anything to show their gratitude. And it ought to be fairly attainable if people simply look at what is currently happening in front of them.

After all, Liverpool has a tremendous amount of potential throughout its ranks, as evidenced by the victory over Norwich, in which four players who had been through the academy started and another, Trent Alexander-Arnold, came off the substitute.

Furthermore, one of those academy players set up four of the five goals. James McConnell, on his first start, set up Curtis Jones for the first goal with a fantastic lofted ball, and Darwin Nunez scored the second goal thanks to the lively Conor Bradley, who has been playing well lately.

After Virgil van Dijk had headed in Dominik Szoboszlai’s corner for the fourth goal, Bradley drove over a cross for Ryan Gravenberch to make it five from close range. Jones had created the third goal with a long ball from the back that put Diogo Jota in position to do what he does best.

Bradley, a young Northern Irish player, has not made a mistake since being thrown onto the pitch in the final moments of the FA Cup victory over Arsenal. His presence may ultimately lead to Alexander-Arnold getting the midfield starts that many have been longing for.

Bradley hasn’t quite been Liverpool’s season highlight, though; that distinction belongs to Jarell Quansah, 21, who on Monday showed off his ability to rake in crosses like Van Dijk. Quansah has produced a number of confident displays at the back. While McConnell is still developing a little bit, Jones has grown into a consistent goal threat from midfield and is among the first names on the squad sheet. He is just 22 years old.

The main reason Klopp is leaving is because he stated he would only quit the club if he was certain the team was in a healthy enough state for the next manager, and with the young players dotted throughout the lineup, there isn’t a better time for whoever takes over.
