"He knows and I know": Steven Gerrard sends message to Jurgen Klopp ahead of PL match

Steven Gerrard has sent a message to Jurgen Klopp ahead of the Premier League match against Liverpool. Former Reds star is set to travel to Anfield at the weekend as Aston Villa's head coach, while ahead of the clash he met the media. When speaking about Klopp's role in his development, Gerrard shared some sweet words about the German manager. "I played for Jurgen Klopp in Australia in an exhibition match, and he addressed the players, he actually felt like even my manager for 24 hours. It was a fantastic experience,” he said in his pre-match press conference. “It doesn’t need me to sit here and talk about Jurgen Klopp, I think the world knows what a fantastic coach he is. “He’s always been fantastic with me, very supportive, given me a lot of top advice, in terms of the transition from being a player to a coach. “He obviously gave me an opportunity to go and coach Liverpool’s youth team, U19s team, which I’ll be forever grateful for. “But, at the end of the day, he knows and I know, once that whistle goes at the weekend, I’m going to try and compete in the best way I can and the team can to try and get a result and one over on him. “That’s the way I am, that’s what’s inside me and that’s the way I’ll approach it.”
