Quique Sanchez Flores: Why I love Jürgen Klopp
Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores has spoken of his huge admiration for Jürgen Klopp ahead of his side’s trip to Anfield to face Liverpool on Sunday.
The Hornets will journey to L4 with their position in the Barclays Premier League next season assured following a solid return to the top-flight in 2015-16.
And as he prepares to lead his side into action against the Reds, Flores has explained why he holds his opposite number in the highest esteem.
He said of Klopp: "I love this coach, first because I love how he manages the squad and the players, and I love his idea of football.
“Just like when he was at Dortmund, they play quick, they play with quality players who are skilful, quick and clever, and these are the players he likes and he chooses for Liverpool."
Flores added: "Liverpool are an amazing team, they've had a good run and they have a lot of good players. Anfield is an amazing stadium, so we need to be competitive because the other team is very powerful.
"I know how it is to play at Anfield. I went there with Atletico Madrid five or six years ago in the semi-final of the Europa League. I know all about the atmosphere and the support from the stands, they push the team a lot.”
