Jürgen Klopp gears up for first visit to Everton by watching Creed via The Guardian
• Manager enjoyed Rocky spin-off film with scene shot at Goodison Park
• Predecessor Brendan Rodgers was sacked after last season’s fixture
Jürgen Klopp has said he is relishing a first visit to Goodison Park after watching the Rocky spin-off Creed. Liverpool make the short trip across Stanley Park on Monday for the 227th Merseyside derby and Klopp’s debut at Goodison. The corresponding fixture last season was Brendan Rodgers’ final game as Liverpool manager and, though his successor watched the 1-1 draw on television, he took more notice of his rivals’ stadium when deciding to watch the Hollywood film after the club’s Christmas party on Thursday.
Creed, starring WBC cruiserweight champion and Evertonian Tony Bellew, featured a fight sequence filmed at Goodison Park and left its mark on Klopp, a self-confessed Rocky fan.
