Klopp reveals he relies on Liverpool senior players for dressing room 'trash talk' | OneFootball

Jurgen Klopp says he doesn't bellow motivational speeches before Liverpool games.

The German is known for his passion and animation on the sidelines.

But Klopp insists he is more subdued in the dressing room, leaving his senior players to pump up the team.

"In the dressing room, the players speak. My speech regarding line-up, tactics, approach and, under certain circumstances, motivation, I give - as with BVB - in the team hotel," Klopp told Goal.

"In Dortmund, I later became really active in the dressing room myself, that's different in England. My English has improved significantly over the years, but this trash talk before the game has to be right.

"You can't stumble your way around, that's why I'm not doing that there. But I was lucky with the team because there are enough players there who can do it.

"James Milner, for example, always sums up my session very skilfully, often screaming with all the words necessary to light the boys' bums on fire.

"I don't have a particularly memorable address in mind, but there are many who have made a major contribution to the success. The team is exceptional, it just has to be said.

"The guys dealt sensationally with setbacks. If you can do that, you have a great chance to learn from it and in the end, get something in return.

"Fortunately, that has already happened several times with us, which makes me incredibly happy."
