Emre Can believes Jurgen Klopp is like no other coach – and because of that, the midfielder and his team-mates will have no problem running for him.

The 21-year-old was one of Liverpool’s best performers in Klopp’s first game in charge, a 0-0 draw against Tottenham, encapsulated by his hard work off the ball.

The Reds covered more distance and completed more sprints on Saturday than during any other game this season, something which is expected to become a feature under their new manager.

Klopp’s Borussia Dortmund side were renowned for their work ethic off the ball, and Can is confident this Liverpool side can replicate that, both because of their own ability, and their manager.

“He’s completely different from other coaches,” Can said. “He is more emotional and he’ll put his arm round you.

“That’s the way he is and I don’t think anything will change regardless of whether he’s in Germany or here in England. I think all coaches have their own way of doing things.

“I definitely enjoy working with a coach like that. He likes to come onto the pitch in training and show you how you can do something better.

“He is always keen to help and I find that very positive. I like the way he works and it suits me down to the ground.”

Can watched the 48-year-old’s methods at close quarters during his time at both Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, never losing in his three league appearances against Klopp’s Dortmund side.

The midfielder admits there is eagerness to impress, but they must do it smartly, too.

On implementing Klopp’s desired style of play, he added: He said: “When you play football, you have to do a lot of running. You have to put in more sprints and the stats show we ran further and did more sprints.

“We have to learn how to deal with that and divide it up during games.

“We’ll do that from now on and we haven’t got a problem with that because all the players have the necessary fitness levels.

“I think we’ll want to keep playing football this way. We want to be able to press in every game and not just in one match because there’s a new coach.

“Of course, everybody might have put in a bit more because there was a new coach and you want to show what you can do.

“But the aim for the team must be to give 100% every game and do what the coach asks of us.

“We know we’ve got more quality and it’s up to us to create more chances to put us in a position to score more goals.”
