Barcelona great Xavi admits he’s a fan of Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.
The Al Sadd coach is impressed with the way the European champions play under the German.
He told FIFA.com: “What stands out for me with Klopp and Liverpool is their intensity. The intensity they play with both in defence and attack, the high press by the front three who occupy the space between the lines and do their pressing there.
“They’re a very difficult team to attack. Physically they’re very strong. They win all the second balls and they also work really hard on their tactics. They’re dominant in so many areas of the game.
“Their transitions in attack and defence are just about perfect: how they defend, how they drop back, how they hit hard on the counter, the pace of their players and above all the intensity Klopp gives them.
“My guess is that he makes huge demands of them in training. The energy he gives off from the dugout and injects in the team is amazing.”
