In a recent interview with Goal.com, Jurgen Klopp praised Atletico coach Diego Simeone. The Liverpool coach said, “People say about me that I'm emotional on the sideline. If I'm on level four, I would say Diego is on level 12 or so. It's really like I'm the Kindergarten Cop against him. That's over all those years, eight years, that's really long and still having this emotional level, wow, that's absolutely impressive. His teams are always world-class organised, so that makes him one of the best. We met once or twice, exchanged some messages after big defeats or big wins and tomorrow in a really competitive game we meet for the first time, it will be interesting."
