Jurgen Klopp’s press conferences are always entertaining and usually funny.
That’s genuinely funny – not merely fawning journalists laughing at a crap Big Sam anecdote funny.
And given that it seems like Klopp is speaking to the press every other day it’s amazing that he still has a reservoir of gags.
But he managed to pull another out of the hat when, speaking ahead of Liverpool's trip to Leicester on Tuesday, he was asked what Pep Guardiola can expect from English football, now that it has been confirmed that the Bayern Munich manager will take charge at Manchester City next season.
So what enduring traits of the English game will Pep find hardest to deal with, according to his former Bundesliga rival?
The hard-tackling? The refusal of the lower teams to roll over for the big boys? The hostile atmosphere in the tight, packed stadiums? Fixture congestion?
No, it’s the wind.

We can only assume that Klopp was joking. If the wind really is as strong and dynamic as the Liverpool boss says you'd think he'd start it up front.
