Nearly 10 years after Fenway Sports Group took over Liverpool, owner John W. Henry said he couldn’t be more proud of the club after winning his first first-rate championship in 30 years.
Liverpool won the Premier League name in June with seven games to be lost after the season resumed after a three-month suspension due to the COVID-19 pande.
With Juergen Klopp, anfield won his sixth Champions League crown last season, however Henry said putting his hands on the league name for the 19th time is the icing on the cake.
“It’s taken a long time to get there,” Henry told the club’s online page https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/404366-john-henry-liverpool-fc-interview-premier-league-champions. “I just need to tell them (to the fans) that they’ve waited a long time for this … seems like a gift that helps keep giving.
“Every day I get up, it’s in the foreground that we nevertheless win (in) England.
“So it is my wish for you, that each and every morning you will get up for the next one, whenever you can achieve it, think about what we have completed this year in Europe, England and I hope you feel as proud as I do.”
Henry, whose Fenway Sports Group took over Liverpool in October 2010, congratulated Klopp on his role in the club’s success.
“I can keep talking and talking about Juergen and how his center is bigger than his body, how his enthusiasm affects us all definitively every day,” said the 70-year-old American businessman.
“But I think what’s vital is that he’s determined every day to do the right thing, whether it’s what’s going on in the field, whether it’s because of the club’s nutrition… off.” (Report through Manasi Pathak in Chennai, edited through Pritha Sarkar)
