"Have I learned anything new about my players this season? No, it would mean that you really only understand people when they are going through a bad time. People completely forget that, but football is a game and it's important to enjoy what you do. Football cannot be just a job. Yes, it's hard work, but it should also be a game. You also need to be in a good mood for it.

It's not that we ignore the fact that we are not playing the best football this season, not at all. But when we go out on the training field, the boys like what they do, I like what we do, and that's absolutely normal," Klopp's official website quotes him as saying.
