Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate says playing at Anfield is unlike anything he has experienced in football.

While the 23-year-old has featured just 14 times at Anfield to date, he has no doubt about the power of playing at the stadium.

"When you arrive at Anfield, you discover a different energy," said Konate. "It's an incredible feeling. I have listened to many testimonies. One day, Thierry Henry said on television that he would have liked to play in Liverpool. Arsene Wenger and many other great managers have said that Anfield is an extraordinary stadium. I live it as a player, it's real.

"Today I am at Liverpool, and the truth is, I hardly see a superior club. When you are here, you have everything: a great club, a great history, always in the running to win the Champions League, the Premier League and all the trophies with magnificent supporters.

"I'm 23 and it's a club where I could end my career. This club is among the top three clubs in the world. But you also need quality to finish your career here!"

Speaking to Onze Mondial, Konate also detailed how he was initially taken aback by the managerial approach of Jurgen Klopp.

"The energy he brings to his pre-match chats is exceptional," he said. "Today, I'm used to it, but at first it was striking. It conveys something that I couldn't explain.

"He likes to tell stories. He likes to laugh, but once on the pitch, it's over. One day, we were delirious in the hallway of the training centre on our way to the pitch and we did not stop when we arrived on the grass. And suddenly he turned around and said to us: 'Why are you still laughing? We're on the pitch, it's over now!'. Everyone calmed down."
