However, it was Newcastle who eventually pipped the Reds into fourth position to qualify for this season&#8217;s Champions League.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/25\/14\/74724247-12445521-image-a-52_1692970946195.jpg\" height=\"410\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Eddie Howe and Jurgen Klopp had a tense encounter on the touchline last time the two met<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/25\/14\/74724251-12445521-image-a-53_1692970955875.jpg\" height=\"545\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Klopp celebrating Liverpool&#8217;s 98th-minute winner over Newcastle at St James Park<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>And when pressed on his relationship with Klopp on Friday, Howe said: &#8216;I don&#8217;t really have a relationship with any manager, I&#8217;m competing against them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I find it very difficult to have personal relationships with competitors. I&#8217;ve been the same as a player. I was not one to talk to players before a game. I draw a line, and so that is just how I have always been.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I respect Jurgen a lot. I think he&#8217;s done an incredible job. He&#8217;s an unbelievable football manager but I draw the line at friendships because they don&#8217;t exist for me.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8216;When you grow up in a house of three brothers and a sister, I think naturally you just compete for everything. You are fighting for attention I suppose. You are fighting for anything. Then, you start to play little games which I would create, games with my brothers which I would want to win, so maybe it&#8217;s gone from there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There&#8217;s no such thing as a friendly, even now with my kids, I&#8217;ve got to try and win. That is built in me somehow.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Klopp commented on Newcastle again last week by claiming Howe and assistant Jason Tindall would be most affected by new rules preventing two coaches from standing together on the touchline.<\/p>\n<p>Was Howe amused by Klopp&#8217;s words?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/25\/14\/74725135-12445521-image-a-63_1692971998649.jpg\" height=\"450\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Nick Pope was given a straight red card in the last game when the two sides met in February\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/25\/15\/74725137-12445521-image-a-64_1692972239650.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Liverpool came away 2-0 winners at St James&#8217; with Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez both scoring<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I wouldn&#8217;t say I laugh at the comments,&#8217; he said. &#8216;Other people can have opinions. That&#8217;s fine. I&#8217;ve got no issue with that. You just sort of roll with it, let it go and just talk about my team.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool have spent in excess of \u00a3100million this summer and were prepared to take that beyond \u00a3200m following their offer for Moises Caicedo.<\/p>\n<p>What did Howe think of that, given Klopp&#8217;s previous claims of not being able to compete with Newcastle in the transfer market?<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I know what you want me to say!&#8217; he replied. &#8216;The dynamic of football changes so quickly in terms of transfer fees. This time last year we were talking different levels of money and, in a year, they have jumped so high. For everybody, not just for us. I would never talk about another club openly, it&#8217;s nothing to do with me and none of my business what others clubs do. I can only talk about what we do.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12445521\/Eddie-Howe-Jurgen-Klopp-Premier-League-manager-Newcastle-Liverpool.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eddie Howe insists he would NEVER be friends with Jurgen Klopp &#8211;
