Everything Klopp said about Arne Slot in Liverpool press conference

Jurgen Klopp admitted he didn’t know a great deal about Liverpool’s potential next coach Arne Slot, though he certainly appreciates his style of football.

The German tactician was asked to share his viewpoint on his Dutch counterpart at Feyenoord ahead of the Reds’ trip to West Ham United at the weekend.

“So I didn’t read anything, but Tony [press officer] told me that Arne said something, but I don’t know anything about, [I’m] not involved in the process,” the 56-year-old began in his pre-match presser (via Liverpool’s official YouTube channel).

“I like a lot that if he’s the one that he wants to take the job, is desperate, like ‘come on, let’s go for it’, excited.

“I like the way his team play football. I like all the things I hear about him as a guy. Good guy. Some people I know know him. I don’t know him yet but some people tell me he’s a really good guy. Good coach, good guy, looking forward to the club if he’s the solution.

“It’s not up to me to judge these things but it sounds good to me.”

The Merseysiders go into the tie third in the league table following a disappointing 2-0 defeat at Goodison Park on Wednesday.
