Jurgen Klopp is a modern media phenomenon.
The dynamic, grinning, effusive German is camera friendly and so charismatic he makes Jose Mourinho look like Buzz Killington.
Even when he’s caught being a little bit naughty, you can’t help but like him – especially when he’s getting results.
On Tuesday Klopp’s Liverpool side saw off Derby County 3-0 in the ‘EFL Cup’ (sigh), but after the match he took Sky Sports man Pete Colley to task for the fact that the match had not been televised as Sky chose to show Chelsea’s 4-2 win at Leicester City instead.
“I can’t believe that nobody shows this game,” Klopp said, thinking he was not being recorded.

Colley replied: “I know. We’d didn’t know it was going to be that good!”
“They show every f***ing game in Germany,” Klopp added before Colley covered the microphone.
“People don’t want to hear you swearing!” Colley says. “They think you’re a good, you know, family man.”
But Klopp is unperturbed and his trademark grin remains firmly fixed on his face.
And no wonder he is smiling – his side made light work of the Rams at the ‘iPro Stadium’ (double sigh). The Reds marched through to the next round thanks to a first half strike from Ragnar Klavan, followed up after the break with goals from Philippe Coutinho and Divock Origi.
