Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard is impressed by Jurgen Klopp's managerial style.

The Kop great trained under the German during the MLS off-season and believes his "emotional" approach is well suited to the Anfield club.

Gerrard , chatting with old team-mate Jamie Carragher in the Daily Mail, paid tribute to the new manager.

Speaking about the 2006 FA Cup final win over West Ham, Gerrard said: "Rafa [Benitez] used to call it an emotional performance."

"I think Liverpool will see plenty of them under Jurgen Klopp, you know," replied Carragher .

Gerrard continued: "Exactly. Liverpool have got one of the most emotional managers in the game now.

"You've met him and you know it isn't an act, is it? That's the type of man he is and I actually think he is trying to put emotion back into the team and the supporters."
