Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has revisited his blow-up with Viaplay reporter Niels Christian Frederiksen.
Klopp clashed with the Dane after Liverpool's FA Cup quarterfinal defeat at Manchester United.
Ahead of Sunday's return to Old Trafford, he said: "After the match there was the famous interview - and I would like to say that for once I was fortunately away, but I wasn't, I stayed in the country - but I actually knew what would happen.
"I was really calm after the game, I wasn't even mad because I knew we had to win at that point. For the first 15-20 minutes, United were there. They were really aggressive and scored the goal.
"But then we took over and it was the best we have played against them for a while. In similar situations, there was really good football without scoring, and after the 90 minutes I saw minute by minute that it was too much.
"It was the end of this intense period after all the games we had played. That's why I said after the game that it was the first time I saw us struggling.
"It was too much for the specific group of players. But I wasn't mad. And then the guy asked me about intensity, and that's when it clicked."
