Liverpool manager holds press conferences before and after every match, but has now explained why he is not a big fan of those media duties. In the past, Klopp has made clear that he pays little attention to the outside world and external opinions on his team.

“But most of the time I don’t really think about press conferences until a second before I enter the room.”
