Klopp said: "Of course, everything is okay between me and him,"
"Absolutely. 100 per cent.
"I never give any comment to whatever's written or said but it's 100 per cent clear that nothing's changed.
"I said already, my English is not good enough to give five different answers and always the same question, so nothing changed."
