The head coach of Liverpool Jurgen Klopp believes that at this stage in the Champions League were only strong teams.

"We must take a very careful attitude to Porto. This is a physically strong, powerful and well-organized team that always acts according to plan, "said Klopp.

"The system will never win a match for you. It all depends on the players who have to do the right things at the right moments and leave their hearts on the field. The system is only part of the game. I have great respect for Porto. This team is a fusion of experience and youth, football and fighting qualities. I like this ".

"We dreamed about this last summer, and now we are here. It's great. This is already 1/8 finals. In the tournament there were only 16 very strong teams. We need a positive result here, and, of course, we believe in Enfield. This is a place where the atmosphere can really affect the outcome of the game. But to help, we need to achieve the result here first. For this it is necessary to do a very, very big, difficult work ".

"I'm a big football fan, and that means I love Portugal as a big football nation. There is a great passion for football here.

Portugal, perhaps, is not a very big country, but it gave football a huge number of coaches working around the world. In the Portuguese league is a lot of talented players ".

The first match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League between Porto and Liverpool will be held on Wednesday, February 14. The beginning of the meeting at 21:45 Kiev time.
