Liverpool midfielder Pedro Chirivella: Why Klopp so special...

Liverpool midfielder Pedro Chirivella is enjoying his football under manager Jurgen Klopp.

Chirivella was brought up through the ranks at Anfield by former boss Brendan Rodgers but has come on leaps and bounds since Klopp took charge in October last year.

“He has a special charisma. He is an idol for the fans by the way he lives football, his passion. Since he has arrived he has helped us a lot," Chirivella told Las Provincias.

“He has made us a very strong group, even in the dressing room and he fits very well with the players and has taken us to two finals in seven months."

Chirivella also revealed Klopp is very hands-on in training and has admitted his progress last term is thanks to the new manager's 'supportive' approach.

"I train with him and I've played five games with the first team. He talks a lot with me, what needs to be improved, and is very supportive.

“He says that I have to improve without the ball, and then I have everything, but he is happy. He wants me to press without the ball even more."
