On Wednesday, sad news reached the football world - 81-year-old Elisabeth, the mother of "Liverpool" coach Jurgen Klopp, passed away. Unfortunately, due to the current restrictions in Germany, the German won't have the opportunity to say goodbye to his closest person. According to the current limitations in Germany, individuals from the United Kingdom are not allowed to enter the country. The German himself admitted that his mother was the most important person to him and he deeply regrets not being able to properly say goodbye to her. "She was a mother with a capital letter. As a true Christian, I know that she is in a better place now. Unfortunately, due to the complex situation in the world, I cannot bid her a proper farewell. However, as soon as the situation improves, we will hold a proper tribute for her," Klopp said in an interview with "Schwarzwaelder Bote".
