Klopp in Derby uniform: Don’t answer all the stupid questions

JJurgen Klopp has shown himself in absolute derby form. The Liverpool team manager announced the big fight for Manchester United, handing out witty shots and letting his charismatic laughter echo throughout the press conference room.

“My biggest motivation for winning is that I don’t have to look at your faces and then answer all the pretty stupid questions,” the 55-year-old said in the direction of the journalists present – and caused a lot of laughter. for taunting ahead of Sunday’s North West derby (5:30pm on Sky) against a revitalized opponent.

With his ease, the star coach relieved the tension before the game, which was already difficult for reasons of prestige. Record champions United (20 titles) against longtime rivals Liverpool (19) is an electrifying fight. “The whole world will see it. I would watch it if I wasn’t here and I’m really looking forward to it,” Klopp said. “It’s a game. It’s amazing.”

Huge, perhaps also in its impact on the current season. Liverpool have recently picked up ten out of a possible twelve points in the Premier League after a difficult season and have a chance to move closer to the Champions League places. The gap before the weekend is six points. United, recently won the League Cup and now, according to Klopp, a “results machine” under team manager Erik ten Hag, want to close the gap on Arsenal and Manchester City.

“Yes, they are having a better season than us. But thank God it doesn’t matter on Sunday,” Klopp said. “And we have to show that they are not interested in playing against us.”

The form curve in the LFC has been going up lately, but the extremely painful recurrence of a 2-5 loss in the premier class to Real Madrid has not yet been completely erased from people’s memory. “I want to get the most out of the season and finish it in the best possible way,” Klopp said. – Everything is possible. We just need to make sure we’re 100 percent ready and want it more than the other guys.”
