Jurgen Klopp makes everyone’s day feel a little bit better

Let me tell you about the time I met Jurgen Klopp. I don’t mean this in a lame, I-saw-David-Bowie-buying-fish-fingers-in-Tesco sort of way. I just think it’s instructive.

It was at the Liverpool media day before the 2016 Europa League final.

I was one of a number of TV reporters herded into a room at Liverpool’s Melwood training ground and divided into little pens set up like a soundbite-gathering battery farm.
