Klopp before facing Man Utd: We have more natural enemies than other clubs have.

Jurgen Klopp said to the media ahead of Liverpool’s Premier League clash against Manchester United at Anfield: Liverpool is obviously the natural enemy for some clubs, we have more enemies than other clubs have. The reason is our history probably, how successful this club was. But I said it long time ago, we have to write our own history.

It’s a very, very important game. Very important game like games against pretty much all our opponents. That’s how it is. I think we have to learn dealing with games like this in the right manner.

We did not do too bad in the past but we still can improve. I think the game at United is a good example, we were not at our best in a game where we should be because of the quality of our opponent. We were not bad that day, but we were not on our best.

We have to make it more likely that we are at our best in a game like this. For this we have to treat it like you treat all very, very important games for us. The next game is always the most important, so we do not make it different. We know how important it is to our supporters but we cannot – I hope people understand it – it’s like we play against Everton, it’s like an add-on for them.

We play all games for our supporters, not only these games. The only reason we do it is because some people brought us together that we play for Liverpool, and Liverpool is obviously the natural enemy for some clubs. We have more natural enemies than other clubs have. The reason is our history probably, how successful this club was. But I said it long time ago, we have to write our own history. That means we have to play the games our way, and that’s what we try, so it’s very, very important game, the most important game of the weekend for sure, so that’s the way we want to approach it.
