But the Liverpool boss, who takes his table-topping team to Wembley today to face Tottenham, bluntly explained that elite players cannot pick and choose the games they perform in. “Sitting in an office and talking about football is completely different to doing the job,” Klopp said of a manager’s role, which must hurt, given Neville was sacked after just four months in charge of Valencia. “Gary should tell me exactly how that would work. How do you prepare a game and not focus on it?” It has been suggested Klopp should rotate against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, with the game three days after a tough trip to Spurs, but he replied: “It doesn’t work like this. It makes no sense to think now about the PSG game because we have no clue anyway who will be ready for that.”
