It isn’t a big surprise that Jürgen Klopp likes to raise his voice in the Liverpool dressing room.
The all-energy manager is often seen running up and down the touchline, shouting at his players, the officials, or even fans his dugout.
“He likes to shout on the side of the field, he likes to be involved in the game,” Liverpool vice-captain James Milner said.
“If things aren’t being done, obviously he’ll tell you that.”
Klopp doesn’t, though, isn’t always loud in order to get his point across.
“Sometimes at half-time you’ll get a team talk where he is angry but other times you might expect that and he doesn’t.
“I think it’s important as a manager that he can come from both ways. He has that.”
And then there’s the affection he is so often seen showing his players.
“He obviously loves a hug as well – he’s got that side in him at the end of the game. As a manager, you need to know when to give the bear hug and when to give the boot up the backside. He judges that pretty well most of the time.”
With Liverpool set for consecutive seasons in the Champions League for the first time since 2010, Klopp is clearly doing something right.
