5 Players that significantly improved under Jurgen Klopp

Throughout the years, Klopp has constructed a highly competitive team which many teams fear to play against today. In the last years, Klopp has worked closely with his players to improve them individually, and not only as a team. It is true that Klopp has made a few expensive signings along the way, however, it is the smaller investments that turn out to be huge successes which is the reason we mostly admire Klopp. Even when at Dortmund, we saw him win cups on low budgets. This is all due to Klopp's drive to improve players – Something he is well known for. You will be entertained whenever you watch his team play because of his fast-paced football style. They move the ball faster than a spinning wheel when playing slots at a casino online. Watching Liverpool play truly is of great satisfaction, especially if you have seen the players improve under his guidance along the years. Therefore, today we will be going over 5 players which greatly improved under Klopp’s guidance. 

Salah

Mohamed Salah was born in the Egyptian city of Basyoun in the year 1992. Salah began his senior career with Al Mokawloon in 2010. Salah has always showed that he had quality to make it to the top. We especially saw this during his time at Basel, Fiorentina, and Roma. Today, he is widely considered to be the best football player in the world. Klopp’s man-management approach has proven to be successful for Salah. Today, we can enjoy the fruits of Klopp’s work through seeing him play his greatest football ever.

Roberto Firmino

Roberto Firmino started his professional career with Figueirense in 2009. Later in his career, Firmino spent four and a half years at Hoffenheim before joining Liverpool for £29 million. He was branded to be pricey, but owing to Klopp's assistance, he proved himself to be worth the price tag. Today, he is one of the best number 9s in the Premier League and has proven to be an important player for Klopp’s side. Lastly, he also played a massive role in Liverpool’s Premier League and Champions League cup wins.

Andrew Robertson

Robertson was born on March 11, 1994. and is Scotland's national team captain. Today, he is considered one of the best left-backs in the world. We can see this through his crossing, defending, and passing skills we see on his matchday performances. He also boasts a magnificent work rate thanks to his high-performance endurance and speed. We have witnessed enormous growth from the fullback since his arrival from Hull City to take over Moreno's spot. Seeing the importance of fullbacks in the modern game, improving Robertson to such an elevated level is no easy task, especially since quality left-backs are so hard to find on the market today.

Nathaniel Phillips

Nathaniel Phillips has made several first-team appearances for Liverpool in the last few years. Klopp has a lot of faith in the centre-back and he recently stated that he was one of the players that improved the most under his guidance. This can be seen in his performances. In fact, last year he was offered a long-term contract by the club, which he accepted. It might be a surprise to see him on this list, but we are not doubting Klopp’s word.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

A Premier League and Champions League winner at 22, Trent Alexander-Arnold is among the best players in the Liverpool squad. Trent is the prime of example of someone taking their opportunity. Today, he is an established player for Liverpool and plays a key role in Klopp’s game plan. In addition to being a Liverpool regular, he has proven to be one of the most dangerous fullbacks in the world. Taking the fast corner that led to Barcelona's elimination from the Champions League is one of the moments he will always be remembered for by Liverpool fans, and especially Barcelona fans. 

Conclusion

These days it is important for managers to make the most out of the players they’ve got, and to find players on the market with certain characteristics that can be improved upon. Klopp is an expert at this, and this is why he is one of the best coaches in modern football.
