London: Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits he and Diego Costa could &ldquo;never be friends&rdquo; after another controversial game by the Chelsea striker.
The Spain international won a penalty, subsequently saved by Simon Mignolet at Anfield as the league leaders were held to 1-1 draw.
However, Costa caused Liverpool enough problems for Klopp to acknowledge his qualities. &ldquo;If I had played against Costa I could never be friends, that&rsquo;s how it is, but when you have him in your team it&rsquo;s much more fun. He is a warrior,&rdquo; said Klopp.
&ldquo;What (Antonio) Conte is doing with Chelsea is outstanding but Chelsea without Costa this season? He is not the nicest guy on the pitch but I saw no real big incident and until someone tells me something,&rdquo; Klopp said.
The German was furious with the award of a penalty after Costa tangled with Joel Matip and took out his frustration on the fourth official. However, after Mignolet came to Liverpool&rsquo;s rescue the Reds boss calmed down to make an apology to fourth official Neil Swarbrick.
