Liverpool midfielder Keita: Klopp treats all of us the same

Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita says manager Jurgen Klopp treats every member of the squad the same.

The 25-year-old has cited his manager's undying faith in every single member of his squad as one of his biggest strengths.

"He will always defend his players because for him all the players are the same. There is no difference to him," he said.

"He's always there to explain things to you, such as if you haven't played the best in a game, which is hard for coaches to do.

"But that's a choice he has to make and it helps us fight harder on the training field to push hard so you can be playing at the weekend.

"He communicates with us all equally and that's what I really like about him. During training he will stop you and give you advice and explanations."
