According to Jürgen Klopp in the foreword, one of Lijnders’ “key characteristics is that he wants to share his joy and passion for football with everyone. He’s never a snob or judgemental”, and football is “about community and engagement…It’s about making strangers into friends. Individuals into a collective”, and this joy, passion and sense of collectivism is threaded through the book.
