Granted, when you say Ragnar Klavan, I think folk metal, moshpits, fissures, gale force winds and thunderstorm tearing up Valhalla; but, I also think “typical Juergen Klopp manna-from-heaven centre-back.” But when you think of a Klopp-themed defensive midfielder, it’s a different chugging train of thought.
Klopp likes his defensive midfielders to be southpaws, ie, left-footed. And that said left foot must wear turtlenecks, Oakleys and brightly coloured Crocs, critique Nietzsche and be able to play to the tune of Wagner and Mozart. In short, a smooth operator. Gary Medel is more of a Texas Chainsaw Massacre kind of guy, who is generally generous with his madres in the *utas, and spits tobacco into a pot that goes DING!
But nevertheless, we would not take it upon ourselves to insinuate nor profess that this may not happen, because, let’s face it, it’s football. So, the next best thing we can do is to tell you a bit about the man behind the machete-tackle.
