Mauricio Pochettino is back in the Premier League with Chelsea. His first test in the league came against Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

The Argentine tactician pointed out that Klopp is better than him at showing his personality. Speaking to the media before the clash at Stamford Bridge, he said (via GOAL)

"He is better than me at showing his personality! But yes, his passion is there. Yes, I love him. I love him in a good way. I want to beat him on Sunday but I think it is going to be a good game and for sure I am going to enjoy seeing him again."

Pochettino added:

"I enjoy his philosophy for football, how he is and his character. I like how he is a very warm person, he has his character and I think his debut was against us at Tottenham. Yes, from there, we’ve had very good relations. We have some of the same friends who played for Southampton like Adam Lallana that create a good link in between. A player that loves us and Jurgen. It is a good link, communication period between the coaching staff."
