• Modest manager says his best quality is he is a good listener•
Liverpool have 58 points from an available 60 after 20 games
It seems Jürgen Klopp can do no wrong at the moment. His Liverpool team are runaway league leaders, victory at
Tottenham on Saturday would set a record for the best start to a league campaign in this country and around Europe, and even his youth team proved capable of knocking Everton out of the FA Cup this week. Klopp must have been doing something right in his four years in
England, yet on the occasion of another meeting with the erstwhile special one José Mourinho in
London the Liverpool manager insists he remains the completely normal one.
“I am 100% normal, nothing special,” Klopp said. “This morning, for instance, I woke up, went into the kitchen, made a coffee for my missus, a tea for myself and gave the dog some food. Maybe
Pep Guardiola was doing the same, I don’t know. I don’t know if I have any special talent for management either; I just know that I am busy, I am interested, and I have sensational people around me.
