Jurgen Klopp gave another passionate interview, this time to Jan Aage Fjortoft, after Liverpool came two goals behind twice to progress to the semi finals of the Carabo Cup.
Leicester quickly surged into a two goal lead in the first half before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain halved the deficit, but James Maddison restored the Foxes two goal lead before half-time.
Half-time substitutes Naby Keita, Ibrahima Konate and Diogo Jota changed the game as the latter scored the Reds' second goal before Takumi Minamino superbly notched a 95th minute equalised.
Klopp made 11 changes from the side who drew at Tottenham on Sunday evening and the German expressed his love for his squad in the interview with Fjortoft .

English journalists would say this is all about Liverpool, but ’ve followed your career since Mainz, Dortmund and Liverpool. I’ve seen some of these games before. Is this part of the way you want to coach a team?
"Yes, but it is really much more about the players than about me because you can set the tone, you can do a few things. In the end, the boys have to do it," said Klopp.
" Pep Lijnders is obviously a very lively coach and next to me very often he is telling me we need to change things. Yes this is true, but it’s too difficult to give the information to the players at that moment.
"You have to calm down in moments and let them get through it. I was really happy when it was half time at 3-1 because I knew we had a chance.
"That’s exactly how we approached the half time talk. There was a big chance because the goals we gave away were because we made mistakes, but if we don’t do these mistakes anymore, I couldn’t see how exactly they would score a goal.
"How we adjust to everything on the pitch is really outstanding, but it is much more about the players."
You had a column in the matchday programme where you spoke about the general situation in society. For Liverpool in the community, how important is it to get those kind of games to give them a night like tonight?
"I think it’s special for Liverpool supporters. I don’t know a percentage exactly how much we mean compared to other things in their lives, but it’s a big one," Klopp added.
"Yes, we feel that responsibility, but we feel much more the push we get from them. This club is so special.
"Everything that we do is so important. Sometimes this isn’t easy, but we see it as an opportunity, it’s an advantage that people are behind us so much. I love it so much.
"If I would’ve known how good this club is, how much we mean to each other, I would’ve wanted to be here much earlier. It’s outstanding."
There’s a lot of talk in the media about the players over the festive period in England, Boxing Day there are games. Try to explain to us as a manager, how much can you train?
"We don’t train, we recover and have a minus one session where we try to set up a team for the next opponent's specific needs," said the Liverpool boss.
"The problem will always be, and there’s no reason for it. I have no problem with Boxing Day, that is a wonderful game, nobody wants to cancel that.
"It’s just the 26th and 28th - it’s absolutely impossible. It’s a joke that they still do it. It’s no problem to play the 26th and 29th - where is the problem?
"People can see their families then and everyone plays the 26th and 29th, great. It’s still the shortest of all possible breaks, but it’s fine. 26th and 28th are just not right and we will say this all the time.
"We are earning so much that we can play these games, but it’s really dangerous for the players. That’s what we have a squad for, but everyone expects us to win.
"There are maybe two teams if everyone is fit, but for Chelsea that is not the case. City might have the squad for playing two games. The other teams can’t do that and it’s really tricky.
"Tonight, I couldn’t care less, it’s how it is. These boys, I loved them before, but I fell again in love. It’s just incredible."
