Revealed: What Jurgen Klopp said after his first visit to Liverpool's Anfield stadium

Jurgen Klopp is set to become Liverpool manager this week

JURGEN KLOPP has been to Anfield before.

 

He saw his Borussia Dortmund side beaten 4-0 in a pre-season friendly with Liverpool in 2014.

Daniel Sturridge, Dejan Lovren, Philippe Coutinho and Jordan Henderson were on target and Klopp admitted he side were found short.

"The first goal saw us leave a gaping hole; the second was a free header and to be fair we were a few percent short in all areas. That's why we got a drubbing and why it hurts," Klopp told Dortmund's official website.

 

"Where we are right now, our opponents were just too good for us. The physicality Liverpool were able to bring to the game just isn't there for us just yet.

"If you draw the right conclusions from results like this then it can only be positive. There were no points on offer but we won a lot of insight.

"We are still in the heart of pre-season, and we always put a lot of physical effort into our pre-season which benefits us as the long season progresses, and so results like this can happen."

 

Klopp left Dortmund this summer after seven years at the club and is set to become the new Liverpool manager after Brendan Rodgers was sacked on Sunday.

Rodgers left following a 1-1 draw in the Merseyside derby.

And News News Blog Sport understand Klopp will fly to Liverpool on Thursday to undergo more talks ahead of taking the position.
