Jurgen Klopp hails ‘modern-day great’ Daniel Sturridge and ‘world class’ Alberto Moreno after announcement pair will leave Liverpool

Sturridge, 29, moved to Merseyside from Chelsea during January 2013 and went on to score 67 times in 160 appearances for the Reds.

Moreno, 26, joined the Reds from Sevilla in August 2014, playing 141 games for the Anfield club.

Klopp described both men as ‘remarkable players”, adding in a statement on the Liverpool website that everyone at the club should say “thank you” for their efforts.

“They were here when I arrived as manager and during that period they – as much as anyone – helped to establish us as a team that would be heading in the right direction. Without them we wouldn’t be the team and club we are in this moment,” said the German coach, whose side beat Tottenham in Madrid on Saturday when both players were unused substitutes.

Sturridge’s last appearance for Liverpool came as a late substitute during the 4-0 Champions League semi-final second-leg win over Barcelona, which saw the Reds complete a remarkable turnaround.

While the next destination of the England international remains to be seen, Klopp is in no doubt of Sturridge’s qualities.

Despite limited game time, the striker scored four goals this season – including a brilliant effort in the 89th minute not long after coming on against Chelsea during September 2018 to help maintain Liverpool’s then unbeaten Premier League record.

Klopp said: “Daniel has earned the right to be considered a modern-day Liverpool great, I would think.

“He came to the club while we were trying to rebuild and re-establish ourselves. Some of the goals he has scored for Liverpool were so, so, so important.

“He is one of the best finishers I have ever seen in my life. He scores goals you think could and should not be possible.”

Klopp also paid tribute to Sturridge’s influence off the pitch. The Liverpool boss said: “What maybe is missed on the outside of the club by many is what a great leader Daniel is in our dressing room.

“He is smart, confident and not afraid to speak up when he thinks there is something that needs adapting to help the team.

“He has been great with many of the younger players also, so he has been so important to our progression here.”

While finding regular first-team opportunities restricted, Klopp maintained both had continued to show great professionalism.

The Reds boss described Moreno as an ‘unbelievable character’ and ‘world class’, adding the Spaniard “kept the entire group on their toes” with his approach to training.

Klopp added: “I wish both players nothing but success and joy wherever their journey takes them next.

“Whoever has them next will be so lucky to have these outstanding personalities in their ranks.

“We will miss them of course, but we can say farewell with the best words possible: Guys, you leave as European champions.”

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Alfredo Morelos and red cards and other iconic duos in football

Like Alfredo Morelos and an early bath, some things just go together in football.

In fact, it would be downright odd if the Rangers striker didn’t lose his rag during games.

Here, talkSPORT.com looks at other things in football where you can’t have one without the other, starting with the Gers’ angry striker.

---

When you think of Alfredo Morelos, you think of red cards

At Celtic Park, the striker was sent off for the fifth time this season when he allowed himself to be wound up by Scott Brown. The joke on the weekend during the Old Firm derby was that 32Red on Rangers’ shirt was merely a sponsor and not a target. Take note, Alfredo.

When Fabio Quagliarella’s name comes up, you think of great goals

The 36-year-old is the top scoring player in Serie A and he only scores beauties. It’s a rule.

You could say he is the Adam Reach of Serie A…

---

When you think of Tony Pulis, you think about his hat collection

Slash, Indiana Jones, Tony Pulis. Three legends – three iconic hats.

“The style comes from years ago, I think,” the Middlesbrough manager once explained. “I started wearing the cap when I was at Gillingham and we had a good run of results and it just continued from there.”

“I think it was more superstitious and as the years have gone on I think wearing that cap, my hair’s gone. So yeah, it’s been a good cover to keep me warm in the winter.”

When you think about Tottenham, most fans think of ‘bottling it’

Call it choking if you want, but football supporters – other than the White Hart Lane faithful – associate bottling with Tottenham.

Having ‘put the pressure on’ on several occasions in the last few years, the club, for whatever reason, are yet to win anything major. Spurs’ last trophy came in 2008 when they won the League Cup.

Spurs have bottled it once again 😂

When you think about Lionel Messi, you think about Cristiano Ronaldo

To some fans, you can only like one or the other, but why can’t we enjoy both? When Ronaldo was at Real Madrid, they just seemed to push each other and quite rightly, are both considered to be the greatest footballers ever.

“I miss Cristiano in Spain,” Messi told Radio C5N. “It was lovely having him here, even though it annoyed me seeing him win so many titles. It would be great if he was still here.”

When you think of Jordan Pickford, you want to watch This is England

What do you think about when you see Jordan Pickford? Yes, you’re right, it’s ‘I haven’t seen This is England in ages’.

Such were his displays for England at the 2018 World Cup, actor Thomas Turgoose, who starred in the 2006 film, even joked he’d like to play the goalkeeper in a biopic.

The 25-year-old Everton no.1 also acknowledges the similarities.

Eden Hazard finally confirms it’s goodbye after inspiring Chelsea to Europa League triumph

Eden Hazard admits he has probably played his final game for Chelsea after inspiring the club to Europa League glory.

The Belgian, who looks set to join Real Madrid, struck twice in the 4-1 victory over Arsenal in Baku.

And after the game, he finally confirmed what Chelsea fans had been dreading.

“I think it’s a goodbye,” he told BT Sport. “But in football you never know.

“My dream was to play in the Premier League. I think it’s time for a new challenge.

“I’ve made my decision. Now it depends on the clubs. Both clubs.

“You will know in the next few days.”

Hazard was at his brilliant best as he signed off in style.

After a quiet first-half, Chelsea sparked into life when Olivier Giroud stooped low to head in the opener.

Then Hazard stole the show, setting up Pedro for the Blues’ second, before scoring from the penalty spot and linking up with Giroud for a superb second.

That looks set to be his last ever Chelsea goal – and the club have reportedly already agreed a fee with Real Madrid.

According to The Sun, Chelsea will receive £100m with a possible further £15m in add-ons, with Hazard signing a four-year deal worth a basic £400,000 a week.

Real president Florentino Perez recently revealed the Spanish side have been trying to sign the Belgian for a long time.

“We have been trying to make Hazard a Real Madrid player for several years,” he told on Spanish radio station Onda Cero.

“We are working on a project to make people dream again, where we recover our hunger and ambition. I have already lived through this stage before.

“I have a dream that Hazard will arrive this year. Let’s make a good team this year.”
