- "I prefer the English style - playing in sharp transitions, pressing and dynamic play. That's why I've been an ardent supporter of Klopp since he took over Borussia Dortmund. I was really happy when I saw that he signed for Liverpool because you could see with Klopp that he has a connection with the fans - he did it at Mainz in Germany, he did it at Dortmund, and Liverpool is an even more special club. The connection between players, coaches and fans is amazing. After nine seasons you can see what he has done and I think he is special.

I met him when Liverpool came to Madrid and I also follow Pep Leijnders closely. I read his book and understand what they do on a daily basis, and it's very inspiring. When you see Jurgen Klopp's team, you know how they will play. There is one style - heavy metal football - and I like it," said Fernando Torres.
