While reflecting on Mohamed Salah's announcement that he will be leaving Liverpool this summer, Klopp also discussed handling the Egyptian, Sadio Mane and Bobby Firmino in the Reds attack.
He recalled to the Daily Mail: "I am really happy and proud that I was part of the whole journey.
"We both know that we had these arguments, not big, big arguments. Like the one at West Ham (in April 2024), both us, five seconds later, would have thought: 'No, we don’t do that in public, come on, rewind'.
"Next morning it was already over but it happens in public. We never lost respect for each other and that is what I really like. He didn’t like me for a second when I took him off after 87 minutes and all these kind of things, and you think: 'Why?'
"The time with him and Sadio together, they were a challenge, of course they were. Special players are a challenge. Tell me one who is not? The real difference makers. The one who wasn’t, by the way, was Bobby Firmino. Rotating Mo was difficult. I’d be: 'You cannot play three games a week.'
"And Mo would be: 'Yeah, I can'. Ok then, you can, but all the others can’t. It is all fine. You always walk on the edge in these moments. You play a player too often or not often enough, there’s extra time, long travel, and you can’t play all of that. If you could plan for it, then it would be easy.
"Two hours sleep after a game and in two days’ time you play again. I tell you in the press conference: 'Thank you very much for 12.30 on Saturday' and everybody thinks: 'Oh come on! **** off!’ But it’s the biggest problem in that moment for me and I cannot stop thinking about it.
"It’s not that I want to say it. Then I go back and say to the players: '12.30 is a great time'. But I’m not convinced and they feel it. So, in these moments, you need players who want to play all the time."
