WATCH: Liverpool boss Klopp loses it with translator 'I'll do your job!'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has criticised a German translator for incorrectly interpreting a response from captain Jordan Henderson.

In the press conference before Tuesday's Champions League clash with RB Salzburg, Klopp was unhappy that the translator asserted that Henderson had said Liverpool would "go easy in this game".

Klopp said: "It's s**t when next to the translator sits a coach who speaks German. The question was if the Champions League title from the last year helps us because we have always delivered in situations like this.

"He [Henderson] doesn't talk about going easy in this game. We are aware of this challenge. He is speaking about all this normal stuff. You should really listen. Otherwise, I can do it by myself. It's not too difficult."

Then switching to English, he then told the media: "I am in a competition mood already, I can tell you."

Liverpool must claim a point against the Austrian side to clinch a place in the knockout stages.
