It’s simple, irrefutable math: Within every Jurgen Klopp press conference is at least four phrases yearning to be turned into metal album titles.
And when the German manager shifts gears to discuss something truly intense, like the Merseyside Derby between his Liverpool side and hated Everton?

Liverpool and Everton will meet again on Wednesday, an Anfield-hosted event that will serve as Klopp’s proper indoctrination into the Merseyside Derby.
And my goodness, is he ready.
From LiverpoolFC.com:“It’s about football. The best football is always full of emotion, full of passion, full of legal aggression.
“It’s special because of expectations from outside and it’s special because of expectations of yourself. That’s clear but at the end, to handle emotions and the pressure is one of the big challenges in football, especially in top-class football.”
Klopp also quipped that he understands the rivalry more than the local dialect in Liverpool.
Well get out your stew, pop some “Blood Mountain” on your headphones, and get ready for a new experience, Jurgen. It will surely be full of aggression, both legal and the other sort.
