If city of Liverpool needs me, I'm there, Klopp says
The outgoing Liverpool boss says he will always be available for his adopted city

The departing Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has pledged to always be there for the city he has called home for nine years.
The German, who was honoured with the freedom of Liverpool in 2022 for his commitment to the city, told his final pre-match press conference it was "wonderful to know that I spent a big time of my life here".
He said Liverpudlians were "as close as possible" to perfection in how they treated people and he took the honour he was given seriously.
"Probably for a lot of people [it is] rather funny, for me, it feels like responsibility," he said.
"I don't imagine that the club will need my help in the future, but if the city needs me, I'm there."
