After meeting John W Henry for the first time, Jurgen Klopp reckons the less he sees of Liverpool's owners the better – because it will mean he's doing a good job.

When asked what Fenway Sports Group are expecting from him, Klopp said: “All they want is that I solve the problems!

“It is always the same. The less contact we have, the better I think. Because (it means) everything is OK.

“That is what I want, we don't have to stay in contact all day, (asking) 'what happened this day?' and so on.

“I am here, I am the manager, the sport part of this club is my responsibility and that is what I try to do all day. But we have a real good relationship, everything is OK.”

He added: “We need results, of course we need to be successful a club like Liverpool.

“We can't speak about what is success at this moment. What they want is development, improving. And that is what I want. So it was a pretty short discussion about this.

“I know what I have to do and they think I am the right man for this so we don't have to discuss for the next four or five months, or next year, because now I am here. I am experienced enough and patient enough to work.”

The intensity of being Liverpool manager is massive and weight of expectation can be heavy on Reds bosses' shoulders but while Gerard Houllier was dogged by ill-health, Rafael Benitez delivered his infamous “concentrating on coaching” and “facts” speeches and Brendan Rodgers spoke out at the so-called “hysteria” around his position in his final weeks at Anfield, Klopp insists he remains unfazed by any concern for his well-being in the job.

He said: “Really, I burn for results but after the game it is over, I can not change any more.

“Then I can come to the analysis. That is what we have to do, then make the next training, the next meeting, the next talk with the players.

“Nobody should be worried I am not going to sleep or something like this. Now I am here, now I am fully in the race.”
