(Reuters) - Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said Diego Costa is "not the nicest guy" on the pitch but praised him as an indispensable warrior for Premier League leaders Chelsea after the clubs drew 1-1 on Tuesday. Klopp was left furious with referee Mark Clattenburg's decision not to award a free-kick for an apparent foul on Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren in the build-up to a late Chelsea penalty - which Costa missed. He is a warrior," Klopp told British media. "What (Antonio) Conte is doing with Chelsea is outstanding but Chelsea without Costa this season?" "He (Costa) is not the nicest guy on the pitch but I saw no real big incident," Klopp added.
