Paris Paralympics 2024: Former Liverpool boss Klopp cheers on long-time friend playing badminton
The HinduFormer Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp is used to being at the center of attention. “I stood next to Elena, his incredible wife, and we both had tears in our eyes,” Klopp said after watching Czyz lose to Britain’s Daniel Bethell in the men’s singles. I know sports are all about results, but just seeing him on the court was so touching, and I couldn’t get my head around that.” Their friendship began about 20 years ago when Czyz, a promising football player, suffered a devastating injury in a collision with a goalkeeper that led to the amputation of his lower left leg. “Wojtek is constantly doing things I’m not brave enough to do,” Klopp said at the La Chapelle Arena in the north of Paris. We need people like Jürgen putting the spotlight on us.” It was a special movement also for Bethell who received a thumbs-up and a “Great job, Dan” from Klopp.
