In a unique display of football fandom, a mini car previously owned by Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has been transformed into a mobile shrine dedicated to his illustrious career. The "KloppoCar," as it's now known, has travelled from Dresden and made a recent stop at Tusa, a girls' football performance center in Düsseldorf.
The car, adorned with around 150 portraits and football-related motifs, is a testament to Klopp's life in football. From his youth days to his first coach, his successes, and even his failures, every significant moment in his career is represented on the car's exterior. The portrait of Klopp himself, positioned above the left headlight, is a striking centrepiece.
Ulf Kirsten, a former DDR and BRD national player, was the first to sign the car, marking the beginning of a long line of signatures. Over 800 individuals, including prominent and less prominent figures, have added their names to the car. Notable signatures include those of club boss Ute Groth and performance center director Marcus Italiani.
Upon seeing the car for the first time in its new guise, Klopp reportedly said, "There's my whole life on there, I'll probably have to buy it back at some point." Italiani signed near the portraits of the CL-winning Liverpool team, while Groth and Italiani were also allowed to sign on the car.
The "KloppoCar" team visited Tusa during their journey, highlighting an image of a female national football player holding a coffee service. This visit served as a symbol of the growing recognition and importance of women's football in Germany.
As for Campino, a friend of Klopp through cultural and possibly personal connections, his recognition of himself on the car is yet to be seen. Campino, a member of the German punk rock band "Die Toten Hosen," is known to have a friendship with Klopp. However, there are no details about any "KloppoCar" signing involving Campino and Jürgen Klopp at this time.
Training at Tusa's performance center for girls' football is intense, with teams training three times a week and receiving medical care. Over 160 players train at the center according to a coordinated concept. The photoshoot ended with battle cries and the realization that the German women's football team has collected more successful titles than the men.
As the "KloppoCar" continues its journey, it serves as a reminder of Jürgen Klopp's impact on football, both in Germany and at Liverpool. The car's motif selection is heavily based on Klopp's career, making it a fitting tribute to a manager who has inspired countless fans and players alike.
The "KloppoCar," being a mobile shrine dedicated to Jürgen Klopp's career, showcases his life in football, from his first coach to his GL-winning Liverpool team. It also serves as a symbol of growing recognition for women's football in Germany, as it visited Tusa, a prominent girls' football performance center, and featured an image of a female national player.
Despite Campino's close friendship with Klopp, there are no current details about a "KloppoCar" signing involving the German punk rock band member. However, the "KloppoCar" team believes that this unique display of football fandom serves as a fitting tribute to a manager who has inspired millions.
