— I never met him, but I know what kind of player he was. You see the reaction of his friends and teammates - it says a lot about a person. Very sad.

I think some people think, "He's lived long enough, 58 years." However, 58 is not enough. When you turn 55 yourself, that's when you realize, "God, it's coming." It's really hard and the reaction speaks for itself. I didn't know him personally, only as a football fan, and he must have been an outstanding player. I wish his family the best and his friends the strength they need to get through this. He will definitely be remembered in the best way, Jurgen Klopp said.
