Liverpool midfielder Thiago talks Klopp, Pep and Luis Enrique

Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara has spoken of adjusting to the demands of his coaches.

Currently with Luis Enrique's Spain for Euro 2020, Thiago also discussed Reds manager Jurgen Klopp and his old Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola, now with Manchester City.

He told the Guardian: "I think there's a bit of everything and everyone in every coach. It's easy to adapt to Luis's (Enrique, the Spain coach) football because he has the analytical positioning of Pep, the aggressiveness of Klopp, lots of the things I saw at Bayern.

"He's very good at explaining what he wants: he has very clear ideas, which we've been working on for three years, and transmits those very directly.

"New players come in but they grasp those concepts quickly because not only does he choose players who have good feet and that aggression, but players who are intelligent. "
