Klopp's anger with the German translator: "You should listen well"

Jurgen Klopp's press conferences often show a lot of the coach's interesting character. This time, the Liverpool coach was seen getting angry with the German interpreter who accompanied Jordan Henderson in the press conference before the game against Salzburg in the Champions League.

The midfielder responded to a question from a German journalist and the interprester translated it as: "We know that we could be eliminated from the next round, but we don't feel the pressure. We are going to be relaxed for this game. We have experience and enough confidence."

However, Klopp wanted to correct it so that the footballer's words were understood properly. "It's s*** when a translator sits next to a German-speaking coach," said the Liverpool coach, who clarified exactly what Henderson had said.

The question was if the Champions title obtained last year could help us, because in other situations like this one we have always answered. And he says he doesn't say we're going to the game relaxed; we recognise the challenge ahead of us. He talks about usual things," he explained.

"You should listen well, otherwise I can do it on my own, it's not so difficult," concluded Klopp, who wanted to give a more relaxed tone to the matter joking. "Now I'm in competition mode," he said.
