'How you doin'?' - Klopp admits to learning English by watching Friends

Joey Tribbiani is a smooth talker, but the Liverpool boss insists he is smarter than the iconic comedy character who helped teach him English

Who knew Joey Tribbiani and the rest of the cast of Friends were teaching people all along?

As it turns out, the popular American sitcom helped Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp learn English, with the “easy conversation” from the show, based on a group of friends living in New York, helping the German learn the language.

The Champions League-winning manager went on to explain that the complicated dialogue in movies was much harder to pick out, while it is easier for Germans to pick up on the words in the popular show.
