Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he tries to avoid listening to outside opinions.

Klopp insists it's the one way he can handle the pressure at Anfield.

He said: “The public knows my ugly face because they know it constantly. One of the most important skills in this job is dealing with the pressure.

“I put a lot on my shoulders and I learnt to deal with that. I ignore the public pressure. If you walk through a city, and you think: 'what does he think? What does he think?' - you don't know these people but you think about the people who are thinking about you.

“Most of the people I don't know, I'm not interested about their opinion. I'm responsible for my family 100% and for my club.

“It's football, it's a game. If you don't enjoy it, don't play it. The results are the most important because it keeps the business going, that's how it is.

“We need the money, we earn it from specific tournaments, we need the Champions League, that's our life. But the 90 minutes is a game."
