In a separate interview, Jones expressed his gratitude for Klopp’s role in his career. “He’s the one who helped me grow from a kid to a man.
There was always chatter about me—‘Is he good enough? He’s always injured.’ But I’m here because of Klopp and the belief he had in me.
“I’m not saying I’m a star now, but I’m doing the right things. I’m scoring goals, playing regularly, and helping the team with my quality. I’m grateful to him and his staff. It puts a smile on my face knowing he’s still there for us,” Jones added.
Reflecting on their recent exchange, Jones said, “I wished him a Merry Christmas, and he replied, saying he’s enjoying it. That’s who he is—always present, always supportive. He’s truly a great man.”
