Klopp system will suit my game - Liverpool striker Ings

Liverpool's Danny Ings is excited to play under Jurgen Klopp next season.

The 23-year-old missed most of his debut season with the Reds because of a knee injury and spent his time on the sidelines watching the style of play under Klopp, who replaced Brendan Rodgers in October.

Ings returned for the final game of the 2015/16 season and is now eager to play under the German in a style he believes will only enhance his personal game.

"I paid attention to the counter-pressing, which suits my game so much, and how and when to use it," the former Burnley star told Goal.

"I saw how much work happens off the ball, the compact defending so you don't allow the opposition to break, and the movement required from the strikers.

"Every game I watched was as a supporter, encouraging the lads, but I also took everything I could from them."
