For those seasoned observers of Jurgen Klopp, his pre- Manchester United press conference provided some intriguing insights.
The Liverpool manager may come across as almost an innocent when speaking to the media - either ‘ranting’ with emotion after a setback, or joking with what appears to be an unguarded, relaxed nature.
But Klopp is an intelligent man - incredibly, despite his protestations that he was not cut out for education - and he is a student of management. He knows exactly what he is saying, and how to say things. Despite two poor results to start the season, his body language in his conference was magnificently upbeat, his humour sparkling, and his engagement with the media audience endearing.
