Shearer: Liverpool success comes from Klopp standards | OneFootball

Former England captain Alan Shearer has hailed Jurgen Klopp after Liverpool won the FA Cup.

Shearer wrote for BBC Sport: "Jordan Henderson, Divock Origi and James Milner are the only players who are left from his first game in October 2015, away at Tottenham, but he has not just overhauled the squad, he has generated the atmosphere within the club and given them this incredible belief and an amazing will to win.

"To get to where they are this season, with a chance of a quadruple still alive, is just staggering and we keep seeing why it is all down to him, and what he has brought to Liverpool.

"The way they beat Chelsea on penalties this time was the same way they beat the Blues to lift the Carabao Cup a couple of months ago. Again, there were fine margins between victory and defeat, but to win it that way takes courage as well as belief in what you are about.

"Reds captain Jordan Henderson summed it up afterwards when he talked about their attitude and their determination - the way they stuck together, no matter what happened.

"That is how they beat Chelsea, and that is why they are going for success on so many fronts.

"They are relentless in the way they play, and relentless in the way they keep going, playing twice a week every week all season.

"Klopp hasn't always picked his strongest team in the FA Cup before this year but with the squad he has now, he was finally equipped to challenge on every front - and they have certainly done that.

"You can talk about Klopp's signings and his tactics, but it is his approach and the standards he sets that are the key.

"There is no doubt he gets what his club is about and what it means to the city, so he has this amazing rapport with the fans - they love him, and rightly so - and his players too. You can tell they feel the same from the way they battle for every ball, right until the end."
