Manchester City welcomes Liverpool to the Top match in the Premier League. It is also the forces of the two Trainer-alpha animals Pep Guardiola and Jürgen Klopp measure.

It should also be a serious sporting recognition Guardiola’s.
But, above all, the Spaniard has just one goal and that is of their own success. Guardiola is working on the next title. And since the current form of the strength of the “Reds comes to him,” just very, very inconvenient.
A direct duel between the top teams
However, Guardiola is aware of the Position of the hunted, only too well, and know how much pressure the Team that has worked with Liverpool, currently with seven points, a comfortable lead and this, under any circumstances, reduce, and again at the end want to give up. Especially not in the duel with the direct counterparty. Primus Liverpool FC to occur on Thursday evening (20.30 CET) at Champions Manchester City.

Nothing has changed, only the points,” said Klopp. Rather, he wishes to slip into the role of the journalists, because it is “an easy Job. But, of course, with my salary as a Liverpool Manager”.
The seriousness coupled with a Dose of looseness and his down-to-earth Humor Klopp introduced in England, a popularity that goes far beyond the borders of Liverpool. And gave it to the people in this town waiting for about 30 years on a title, a new Pride in their great tradition of the club.
Aristocrat against Tomboy
The Klopp Guardiola’s fundamentally different. While Klopp is the guy’s guy is remained that has seemingly built up by the way one of the strongest teams of the continent, and after the work is done at the counter in the pub next door is a beer drink, is Guardiola a rather cool aristocrat of the football.
One can think for hours about game systems and run routes and talk. What the Spaniards above all recognition, but in contrast to Klopp is not the love of the Fans has been introduced. “I’m not the smartest man in the world, but I’m not an Idiot.
