Jürgen Klopp after winning the Bundesliga in 2011 with Dortmund:

And I don’t remember much that makes any sense. I do remember one thing though and I’m not sure I’ve told anyone before.“

Jürgen Klopp:

I woke up, climbed out of the truck and found myself in a big factory hall. Then I walked across the yard and saw the silhouette of a man.”

Jürgen Klopp:

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.”

Hans-Joachim Watzke:

He always partied the hardest. He said to me, ‘Aki, I have to get out of here. So I said, ‘Let’s try our luck. We’ll just keep walking until someone passes.’

After 10 minutes or so, a car passed so I jumped out onto the road.”

Jürgen Klopp:

It was a Turkish fella in a station wagon. And Aki says ‘Take us to the Italian’. & #39;No I won’t drive you there.& #39; he said.

So Aki reaches into his pocket, finds €200 and says ‘You will.’ He sees the money, & #39;OK& #39;.

Jürgen Klopp:

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.”

Hans-Joachim Watzke:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🗣️" title="Silhouette eines sprechenden Kopfes" aria-label="Emoji: Silhouette eines sprechenden Kopfes"> “There were chickens, that’s correct. But there were also three dead rams he had just slaughtered but he probably didn’t notice that. Both those rams spread a pervasive smell through the car.”
