Jurgen Klopp says Pep Guardiola is the best coach in the world as he defended his Manchester City counterpart in reaction to his recent comments about overthinking tactics for big games.
Guardiola joked before City's Champions League fixture with Atletico Madrid that he would take inspiration the night before and even try to play 12 players. The good-natured, tongue-in-cheek answer was in response to a question about common accusations against Guardiola that he often overthinks his approach to big games, and the reaction to his joke appears to have been taken literally by some.
Ahead of City's Premier League clash with Liverpool, Reds boss Klopp was asked about the comments and leapt to the defence of his rival Guardiola.
