Klopp recharging Liverpool fans

Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said he was not on a mission to "change football" after a 1-1 Europa League draw with 10-man Rubin Kazan in his first home game on Thursday.

Klopp's appointment as the successor to Brendan Rodgers has generated huge optimism among Liverpool fans, who hope he will transform their club the same way he rejuvenated Borussia Dortmund.

But after a 0-0 draw at Tottenham Hotspur in his first game, his new side failed to break down Rubin at Anfield on Thursday and while he drew encouragement from his players' efforts in pursuit of victory, he sought to downplay the hype that has surrounded his arrival.
