Klopp praises Matip presence
Bildbyran

Jurgen Klopp has hailed the influence of Joel Matip

“I think everything about him has been said, what a guy he is, what a player he is, but not a lot of people spoke about the impact Joel Matip had in the last third of the season,” Klopp said.

“I don’t see a lot of centre-backs in the world who are better in that period, 100 per cent, pretty much without any mistakes.

“Virgil was the constant in that last line [of defence] and it felt always good when you saw him there. He organises a lot of things on the pitch. He’s a fantastic player and was a pretty good signing.”

Speaking of Milner, he said, “There are still a few good years to come [from Milner] and I’m not sure if we already have to think about what he can do after his career,” Klopp added.

“But I’m pretty sure for a guy like him there’s always a door open at our club, 100 per cent.

“You could see in different moments last season how much it meant to him, four years back [when Milner joined on a free transfer] I don’t know what people in Liverpool thought about him, but it was a brilliant idea in that moment because without players like Milly success in football is impossible.”
