During his time at Brentford, he often used the same type of aggressive pressing. But this is the first time he has openly said that Klopp has been a direct source of inspiration.
"He's a smart man. I have to send him a text message," said Frank.
"I definitely believe in the aggressive pressing, which you saw today and which you saw with my Brentford team. I believe in high pressing, I believe in being on the front foot. I like that mentality."
Frank continued: "I think it's offensive, it's a more offensive way to defend and it's more fun to defend in the opponent's half of the field.
"Today I think we were very successful, we also scored a goal thanks to that."
