Pep Guardiola is the best coach in the world, according to Jurgen Klopp, who supported his Manchester City colleague after his recent comments about overthinking tactics for big games.
Guardiola joked before City's Champions League match against Atletico Madrid that he would draw inspiration from the night before and try to field a 12-man squad. The lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek comment was in response to a query regarding Guardiola's frequent charges that he overthinks his approach to major games, and some appear to have taken his jest seriously.When asked about the comments ahead of City's Premier League match against Liverpool, Reds manager Klopp jumped to Guardiola's defens
"It was ironic!" Klopp exclaimed, lavishing praise on Guardiol
"If you want to talk to us, you must take responsibility." This week in Ecuador, there was a report in which I stated that I didn't understand Luis Diaz!We can all agree that Pep is the best coach in the world. It could just be a coincidence that it hasn't worked out in the Champions League thus far. I'm not sure how anyone could have doubts about him.
"We all think a lot, which is why we sometimes make mistakes and occasionally figure out what we should do. It's simple to think about football after the game, rather than before.
Klopp, on the other hand, emphasised that he will not provide too much information to his players ahead of their journey to City, instead trusting them to perform as he knows they can."That's why we imagine what might happen, what might help, a hundred things about the opponents," he said, "but at the end of the day, there has to be a stop to information so the lads can play." If I'm honest, I'm not sure I could assist them over the course of the week or during the time we've already spent together. Hopefully, we've spent enough time together to be ready to play our best game versus City."
