Liverpool boss says Mourinho is nice if you’re not a referee or a journalist

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has insisted that Jose Mourinho is a nice guy – unless you’re a referee or a journalist.

The two go head-to-head this weekend as Liverpool travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Mourinho‘s Chelsea, with his job reportedly on the line.

Klopp has been at Anfield for four matches now, picking up three draws and a win, and speaking ahead of the match tomorrow lunch-time, the German was full of praise for his opponent.

Mourinho has come under a lot of questioning in recent weeks, and has been in trouble with the FA a few times, but Klopp insists that the manager is a nice guy.

Klopp Defends Mourinho

‘When I was in Germany, sometimes we sent short messages (to each other),’ he said.

‘From my side, I am full of respect for his work. I think if you are not a journalist or a referee he can be a nice guy, and I am not one of these so we have a good talk. I like to meet people and he is a nice guy and he was really full of respect during the game.

‘He is emotional, I am emotional but we are full of enough respect after the whistle that normal life starts again and you can talk normally about things that happen and that is what we did.

‘Everything is okay with us, no problem.’
