Liverpool boss genuinely seemed interested as to which position his counterpart Jose Mourinho used to occupy during his playing days. The Reds manager gave a hilarious response when a reporter asked that if he was a better footballer than the Portuguese manager. 'Does anyone know what position Mourinho played? Don't blame me if you don't know it,' Klopp replied. 'Does anybody know? I think he was a goalkeeper' the Reds boss added. A Press officer was seemingly not happy with Klopp and told him that they haven’t got time to which the former Dortmund boss replied ‘I’ve got time, google it.’ Mourinho turned out to be a midfielder during his playing days, to which Klopp modestly said ‘Sorry Jose’.
