Liverpool boss Klopp doesn't fear player confrontations: I'm bigger than them!

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits his physical height helps him manage his millionaire players!

The 51-year-old reckons players don't try to confront him on the training pitch or in the dressing room because of his imposing stature.

Asked by France Football if he has been afraid of anyone, Klopp replied: “No, never.

“Fear is never a good thing, even when you have to tell a player that you are not renewing his contract.

“I think I have a natural authority. I have a voice that carries, and I am 6ft 3.6ins.

“Apart from Virgil van Dijk and perhaps Joel Matip, who are nice men, no-one is bigger than me."
