Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has revealed that new manager Jurgen Klopp has told the players to be 'intense and aggressive' on the pitch. The German coach was appointed as Brendan Rodgers's successor last Thursday and conducted his first training with Liverpool on Monday.
"There is a lot of information and as players we need to listen a lot now, and learn and try to put everything he asks us to do onto the pitch and off the pitch as well.
It has been very good, very positive and hopefully it will keep going like that. He seems to be very passionate. He likes to put in everything that he has and he asks the players for the same. Be very intense, be aggressive with yourself, is what he has been saying. Always try to be better, always give 10 metres more, because that will be the key to success. That is what he has been saying to us in the last couple of days. He seems to be a very open manager and someone that likes to be close to the players, but very straight as well. That's what I've learned from the last couple of days and I think it was a positive way to start," Lucas told the club's official website.
Klopp's first game in charge of Liverpool will be against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on Saturday
