“He (Klopp) helped me. His teams and he helped me be a better manager. He put me on another level, to think about it and prove myself… this is the reason why we’re still in this business,” Guardiola told Reuters.
Guardiola also praised Liverpool for being "quicker than" Man City. “Some managers make a challenge to make you step forward. We did it in Germany… here in England we’re many years together. It’s nice because both teams have the same idea — score goals. They’re quicker than us but we both try to win the game," he added.
Liverpool is in second place and will take the top spot if they win today, while the situation is somewhat similar to Man. City, who also hold a chance to be on top of the league given they win the fixture against Liverpool.
“It’s important to win at Anfield, but it’s difficult. Last season was the first time in many years. This is the challenge… for us, it’s an honour to be a rival with Liverpool,” added Guardiola.
