It is not my sport. I don't like winning with 80% [possession]. Sorry that is not enough for me. Fighting football, not serenity football, that is what I like. What we call in German ‘English' - rainy day, heavy pitch, 5-5, everybody is dirty in the face and goes home and cannot play for weeks after. (Jürgen Klopp)

You ask me: 'Was he a fair player?' I say: 'No, I'm sorry, for me he was not a fair player.' I just think I respect him highly as a quality player. I did not like some things he did on the football pitch and I have the right to say that. It's not because you are older, suddenly, that you are a saint.
