Jurgen Klopp does not hide happiness after Liverpool 4-3 win vs Manchester City at Anfield.
The German coach prefers to comment this match with emotions like a fan, because such a super game was played mostly to satisfy the enthusiasts of this beautiful game.
“It’s a historic match that will be talked about after 20 years” – Jurgen Klopp told his postmatch news conference.
You can analyze it as a coach or as a fan. I prefer the second. What a game! It can enter the story, because it may be Manchester City’s only loss this season. I really respect the quality of the opponent. You can see what they can do. Was I afraid in the last few minutes? No, I did not think we would end up to fourth, because I know my boys very well.
“It was just a joy to watch – how both teams threw everything on the pitch.”
“It’s just a nice commercial for Premier League football, to be honest, and the whole world was watching it. If somebody didn’t like football until now then probably they will say: ‘Ah that’s why you watch it all the time.’ I’m really happy about it.”
Guardiola, on the other hand, congratulated Liverpool for the victory and calls it open to the Premier League, even though the difference with Liverpool is 15 points.
