Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has told France Football he has never wanted to manage the "best team" but is far more interested in "beating the best."
Last week, Klopp said his side would have to be Rocky Balboa when competing with Premier League champions Manchester City -- who he compared to Ivan Drago from "Rocky IV" -- for the Premier League title this season.
The Liverpool boss said he had been the underdog throughout his football career but has Pep Guardiola's City in his sights.
"If a team is better than yours, sort yourself out to get up to their standard and beat them," he said.
