Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian says manager Jurgen Klopp is the best in the world.

Adrian appreciates first-hand Klopp's talent in making Liverpool world and European champions. They go into the Merseyside third round derby with a 13-point lead in the Premier League.

"He (Klopp) is the captain of the boat," says Adrian.

"The players are working and fighting together and he tries to give us solutions to problems and makes us feel the team is more important than any individual. It doesn't matter who plays or not - everybody is ready to win.

"I would say he's the best right now. Everyone is behind him, we are like a rock and it's difficult to break a rock. The fans, the people around us, everyone is a family because we take care of each other.

"Obviously Guardiola had a great time at Barcelona, they won everything, but now I think Liverpool has great momentum. We need to keep going but also enjoy this really nice moment for us."
