Jurgen Klopp Said He Was So Wasted He Woke Up ON - Not In- A Truck And Had To Hitchhike Home In A Car Full Of Chickens After Winning A Soccer Title

[Source] - In an upcoming Amazon Prime documentary, Klopp said: ‘I was really wasted which may have been noticeable in some interviews.

‘And I don’t remember much that makes any sense. I do remember one thing. ‘I’m not sure if I ever told anyone. I actually woke up on a truck in the garage. All alone. I remember that, but I have no idea about the hours before that.

‘So I whistled because I can whistle quite loudly and I noticed the silhouette slowed down a little. So I waited and saw Aki Watzke (Hans-Joachim Watzke, Borussia Dortmund CEO). So Aki and I were the only people on this huge yard.’ 

‘Aki held up an old Mercedes on the road,’ Klopp added. ‘It was a Turkish fella in a station wagon. And Aki says “Take us to the Italian”. “No I won’t drive you there”. So Aki reaches into his pocket, finds 200 euros and says “You will.” He sees the money, “OK”.’

‘Aki sits in the front, I sit back. I kept slamming my head into the side, I was a little tired. And I kept hearing “cluck, cluck, cluck”. ‘What’s going on here? I thought I dreamed it. But I didn’t. The trunk was full of chickens.’

 Goddamn this is how you celebrate. This is why European soccer is the best. How many coaches in America would admit this? I’m guessing none. Meanwhile we have Klopp laughing about it all and sharing it on a documentary.

This is straight out of a movie or a terrible TV show. You win the Bundesliga at Dortmund, you go out and celebrate. That right there is typically the end of the movie. But then you get so goddamn wasted you wake up on a car and then have to hitchhike home with the CEO in a car full of chickens? Come on. That’s fake life man.

And listen, we’ve all likely woke up in weird spots. That’s half of college. However, I can’t think of a more uncomfortable night’s sleep than on a car. I need to know was he in the bed? Was he on the hood? Was it just a language barrier and he actually slept in the truck? That can’t be good for your back.

And then for the driver. Am I supposed to believe he didn’t know Klopp? We’re talking about German soccer. I feel like every single German in the world can name every single person loosely associated with soccer. That’s just European soccer. They are crazy and the best kind of it.

This is all I picture with the hitchhiking though:

I can’t say I’m surprised though – Klopp is a lunatic

Fuck Liverpool though.
