Liverpool is undergoing a significant transition this summer, and with numerous staff members departing, some previously untold stories are coming to light. In a recent video on the club’s YouTube channel, assistant manager Peter Krawietz shared a memorable anecdote involving outgoing goalkeeping coach John Achterberg.

Krawietz recalled a particular match against Manchester United: “We were 1-0 up, 2-0 up, I don’t know. And we play a counter-attack two minutes before the end, we run towards goal, one v one against the goalkeeper. Johnny [Achterberg]: ‘Kill them! Kill them now!’ And Louis van Gaal is sitting there, turning around… Like that! At this moment, Christian Benteke, ‘boof’, over the goal. I started laughing… I started laughing on the bench like crazy.”

This story highlights Achterberg’s passion and intensity, traits that endeared him to his colleagues during his time at Anfield. As Achterberg bids farewell to Liverpool, it’s evident that he played a crucial role behind the scenes, one that wasn’t always visible to the fans but was deeply appreciated by the team.

Achterberg’s departure marks the end of an era for Liverpool’s coaching staff. Known for his significant contributions, he leaves behind a legacy filled with dedication and memorable moments. His influence extended beyond the training grounds, fostering a sense of camaraderie and spirit within the squad.

These behind-the-scenes stories are a testament to the strong bonds formed within the club’s coaching team. As Liverpool looks ahead to a new chapter, the memories of Achterberg’s time at Anfield will remain cherished by those who had the privilege of working alongside him.
