Liverpool FC – performance is not so much about money

The Liverpool v Chelsea Carabao Cup Final was seen as an opportunity for Chelsea’s new owners to get their hands on some silverware. Chelsea must have fancied their chances with the Liverpool side fielding five academy players and missing the likes of Mo Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Alisson, Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota, Thiago Alcantara, Darwin Núñez and Stefan Bajcetic. As a consequence the value of both teams at the final whistle was very unequal. Chelsea being valued at £521m and Liverpool £163.3m – see image.

However as a manager of a football team one of the most important aspects of the job is motivating your players and developing a winning culture. Jurgen Klopp fostered a sense of unity, commitment, and resilience among his players, which is crucial to their success. Faced with these numerous injuries his ability to inspire players in difficult times was evident in the Carabao Cup Final. Also Klopp’s willingness to experiment with new formations and younger players demonstrated his commitment to improvement and depth in the squad.

Klopp’s emphasis on teamwork and camaraderie can serve as an inspiration and it draws on parallels between his role as a football manager and that of a CEO in which there is a transferability of key leadership attributes.
