Liverpool boss Klopp: Dutch influence here just invaluable

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he values the Dutch influence on his team.

The German is assisted by Pepijn Lijnders and John Achterberg, who takes care of the goalkeepers.

Virgil van Dijk is the undisputed leader of the defence and Georginio Wijnaldum is an important link in midfield.

“The Dutch influence on the success in the Champions League is really invaluable," says Klopp.

"Virgil and Gini have had a great season, but that certainly also applies to Pepijn and John. We all benefit from that. I cannot compliment those two players often enough."
