Liverpool boss Klopp: Senior players here ideal role models for youngsters

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is delighted with the leadership his senior players are showing their young teammates.

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com from the team hotel ahead of the clash with Burnley at Anfield, Klopp said his young stars like Curtis Jones and Neco Williams, who made his first Premier League start last time out are blessed with who they can learn from to improve their game.

He said: “They are blessed with best role models they can get in modern football. they show how life for a professional footballer should be and how they made their way up and what they have to do with the talent they have.

“It's a lot of responsibility on the manager to make their way up but there's a lot of responsibility for themselves so our boys show them and they improve massively, I'm really happy with the steps they've made."
