Klopp: "Leicester winning is really cool"

Thursday, May 05 2016 by SNTV
  • Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said on Wednesday (4th May) Emre Can will be available when his side hosts Villarreal in their Europa League semi-final second leg

    SOUNDBITE (English) Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool manager:

    (On the upcoming semi-final second-leg against Villarreal)

    "I think most of the time, maybe not always, but most of the time football is a fair game. So that means if we play our best then we can go to the final. That's cool and I don't need more. If Villarreal plays better than we can than they can go to the final and that's deserved and I have no problem to say congratulations. Now we have 95 minutes between now and saying congratulations to whomever."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool manager:

    (On how they played against Villareal in the first leg)

    "They scored one goal (against us), they had one or two more chances. In all their other games they had a lot more. So that's a good sign. It's a little bit like the first half against (Borussia) Dortmund - not a good result, but a good feeling because you think 'OK, now we know'. So that's what we try to do in this second leg."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool manager:

    (On Villarreal)

    "We know about the style of Villarreal, they didn't change too often to be honest. It's a really good young team. They changed eight positions and won at Valencia so that's not too easy. That says everything about their quality."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool manager:

    (On Leicester City winning the English Premier League)

    "Congratulations from the bottom of my heart. It's a great story, it's unbelievably cool. So well deserved. It's a big, big story and nobody will forget this story ever. Even if you're not a Leicester fan for sure everybody thinks that it's deserved. They played a brilliant season and everything came together. Good start, good in the middle and good in the finish. So that's really cool. They took the chance and I'm really pleased for them. It's one of the best stories I ever heard about."
