Jurgen Klopp believes that Liverpool fans will observe a minute's silence in front of Queen Elizabeth II before Tuesday's Champions League match against Ajax.
Liverpool fans booed "stay with me" and "God bless the Queen" before last season's FA Cup final at Wembley.
Liverpool celebrate a minute of mourning for Queen Elizabeth before the Ajax match
The then British prime minister, Boris Johnson, denounced those who booed.
Klopp said a minute's silence was" the right thing to do, "adding:" I don't think our people need any advice from me to show respect."
Liverpool asked the European football confederation to observe a minute of silence before the match against Ajax on the occasion of the death of the Queen.
Klopp said that the fans showed respect for the performance of Cristiano Ronaldo last season after the death of the striker's son showed that his actions did not deserve attention.
"There are many examples of people who have enough respect, "Klopp added.
"The moment we played with Manchester United last season surprised me and I am very proud of that moment when we were in a very tragic situation with Cristiano Ronaldo's family.
That's what I expected. For me, it is clear that this is what we need to do. That's right.
Klopp's mother, whose name was Elizabeth, died in February last year at the age of 81, but she could not attend the funeral in person due to travel restrictions imposed by the coronavirus at that time.
He said he understands people'smothersr, adding: "I am 55 years old and she is the only queen of England I know. I don't know her, but what you can see is really warm and cute.
Beautiful lady, that's all I want to know From my personal experience not so long ago.
Obviously, this is not what she was thinking, but the feelings of those who were close to her, and I have a lot of respect for her memory, which is why I will appear tomorrow night, and if it happens, please everyone observe a minute of silence, he said.
The Napoli match is the worst since I took over at Liverpool
Liverpool lost 4-1 to Napoli in the opening match of the first group of the Champions League on Wednesday in what Klopp described as the team's worst game since taking office in 2015.
Nine players in the starting lineup for the game were described as underperforming and said that they were analyzing and coaching the Ajax match in the following days.
Klopp said: "We met the players and I watched the [Napoli] game and it was really scary,y to be honest. That was the worst game we've played since I've been here.
How do you trust football?.
It starts with defending the ball and that's what we have to do. If we can gain momentum, we can play football.
Six days have passed since the last Liverpool match, and all weekend matches in the Premier League were postponed after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Asked whether the break will affect the pace of Liverpool, Klopp added:" Have you seen our game (against Napoli).
It would be nice to lose that rhythm.
Although. Liverpool will miss defender Andrew Robertson before the international break due to a knee injury.
