Liverpool manager Klopp: I’m a really nice guy when this happens…

Published on: 27 February 2017

Jurgen Klopp says he is a 'nice guy' when his Liverpool players work hard for him.

The German is realistic in his expectations of his playing group and knows very well that doing everything perfectly is simply unheard of.

Klopp is a happy man as long as his Reds squad try as hard as possible but admits he can come off a little angry if they do not.

"Nobody expects perfection," he said ahead of Monday night's clash with Leicester City.

"I don't expect it from them and they don't from me. It is pretty simple and being good together is not too difficult. It is all full of respect.

"As long as they work really hard I am a really nice person.

"Not always in training, but I always respect. I will then decide who will start.

"If they start not working – and that does not mean running it means concentrating on what you need to play football, listening – then I am not a nice guy actually, but none of the players expect me to let them do what they want.

"They know someone has to make the rules and it is long ago I made them, and now we have to respect them."
