He Gives Everything for his Players' - Klopp Praised by ex-Liverpool Midfielder Can

Emre Can Jurgen Klopp

A former Red who played at Anfield between 2014 and 2018 has hailed the German head coach for his man management skills
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Emre Can has offered up words of praise for his old manager Jurgen Klopp, insisting the Liverpool boss "gives everything for his players".

Klopp has transformed Liverpool into Champions League winners and Premier League title contenders since inheriting the managerial reigns at Anfield in 2015.

The 52-year-old wasn't able to inspire an immediate turnaround in fortunes for a club starved of success on the biggest stage, but he gradually set about stamping his own mark on the squad.

Liverpool's progress was clear for everyone to see, and Klopp was eventually rewarded for his efforts when his side lifted the Champions League last year after beating Tottenham in an all English final.

UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup success soon followed, with an elusive Premier League crown also set to head to Anfield when the season resumes after the coronavirus crisis.

The Reds hold an unassailable 25-point lead at the top of the table ahead of reigning champions Manchester City with only nine fixtures remaining, having won 27 of their 29 games to date.

Can left Anfield before the major silverware started to roll in, but he has nothing but admiration for Klopp, who has always put "family" above football.
