Liverpool manager Klopp reveals communication barrier with Luis Diaz: But's he learning... | OneFootball

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits he cannot communicate with Luis Diaz.

The Colombian has been a revelation at Anfield since joining from Porto in January.

And Diaz is working hard to learn English to speak with his manager.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Klopp said: "That is always completely different from player to player but with Luis, for obvious reasons, there is a language issue with me. I do not speak Spanish and he does not speak English. He is learning. I am not learning so we will have to wait until his English gets better.

"Until then, we have a lot of people here who are in constant talks with him. It will take time. He is at a new club and he is thinking about what people expect. But he is obviously pretty natural here. That is why he plays the way that he plays."

Diaz has provided a palpable spark in the Liverpool team, and Klopp hopes he can lead them to more trophies this season after winning the Carabao Cup.

"Nothing has happened yet," Klopp said.

"Yes, the start has been really good. But he is a long-term project for us and we are a long-term project for him.

"There is loads more to come."
