Liverpool signed Klopp in 2015 when they were struggling to qualify for the Champions League and he turned things around, leading them to the three finals of Europe’s premier club competition, winning the trophy in 2019.
“I have great respect for Juergen because his story speaks for him. He has changed the face of Liverpool,” Conte told reporters on Friday ahead of Sunday’s game between the two sides. Conte has finished a year at Spurs since taking over last November and the Italian said he was happy with the progress the club made, qualifying for the Champions League last season and sitting third in the standings this season despite injuries.
“Other teams, they pay a lot when you have these big injuries to important players and sometimes people like to talk and don’t understand what it means to play every three days with 13, 14 or 15 players.
Seemingly applies to every manager but JM 😃
