‘Pep Guardiola always looks perfect… when I shout, I look like a serial killer’: Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp jokes about wild touchline antics
- Jurgen Klopp’s demonstrative demenour on sidelines has become legendary
- German lives and breathes every second when his Liverpool side are playing
- He joked that compared to Pep Guardiola he looks like a serial killer on touchline
Jurgen Klopp joked that he looks like a ‘serial killer’ on the touchline with his wild demonstrative actions.
When Liverpool are playing, the German can often be seen gesticulating in an over the top manner to get his point across.
‘When I shout, I look like a serial killer. It’s my face – I bite my teeth in a certain way. I look at babies with exactly the same face. Like, ‘You’re so cute.’ And very often the babies start howling,’ he told FourFourTwo.

‘Pep [Guardiola] is lively as well, but not that lively. He looks better when he’s shouting. Pep always looks perfect – body, clothes, everything is perfect.
‘I’ve never thought about how I might behave on the sideline. It just happened. It’s just me.’
And the Liverpool boss went on to explain why he feels his energy can be beneficial for those on the pitch.
‘I’ve said to players a couple of times, ‘I will give you all my power, I don’t need it. So really go for it. I will kick your ass when you need it. I will shout at you when you start to feel weak.’
‘It’s better for them to be aggressive and angry with me than to not respond to a situation and end up thinking, ‘Oh, I missed the chance’. It’s better that they think, ‘Boss, you’re a w***er’ and then go off and prove what they can do.’
