Júrgen Klopp held his pre Wolves game press conference at Melwood this afternoon.
Here are the key quotes...
Klopp on Mourinho sacking:
[quote]"He's a very competitive, ambitious guy. Unbelievably successful. I can imagine the last few months were not a joy for him. Nobody can take away all the things he won."[/quote]
Klopp on facing Bayern:
[quote]"There were only 2 clubs I didn't fancy really - Dortmund and Juventus. It's nice for our supporters. Cool. It's a massive club and a big challenge for us."[/quote]
Klopp On Stopping City:"
[quote]Only City can stop City, we just have to play our own game."[/quote]
Klopp:
[quote]"Wolves, an outstanding project, with the way they play. I saw their game v City and the way they defended as a team was really impressive. It's a job to do. Then Newcastle, Arsenal and then City. Exciting times."[/quote]
Klopp:
[quote]"It was long time that it was like it was last week being a Liverpool supporter."[/quote]
Klopp:
[quote]"Wolves didn't surprise me at all. They did good business in the transfer market. They did really well and I respect it a lot - the way they are trying to stay in the league is special. They do it in a football way. But so far they didn't play us."[/quote]
Klopp:
[quote]"It's not that we are serial winners. We are the challengers, we have to do it. We're staying focused - we've learned that we have a really good football team. Competitions for places keeps my players on their toes."[/quote]
Klopp on Fabinho:
[quote]"We always had other options, thank God we have more than 3 midfielders. It's a normal process, Naby is the same. He still needs time. It's easier for a defender. In other departments we give different information."[/quote]
Klopp on Trent AA:
[quote]"It looks surprisingly good. Wolves will be a bit too early but after that hopefully we can think about him."[/quote]
Klopp:
[quote]"We could have lost against Chelsea, we were lucky against Everton. Nothing has happened so far. We are in the situation where we think we should be. We have to be prepared for difficulties and there is so long still to go."[/quote]
Klopp on Alisson bouncing back:
[quote]"We had the Christmas party on Sunday night and he was good!"[/quote]
