Frank de Boer has aimed a dig at Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp over the injury-hit start to his Anfield reign.

Klopp replaced Brendan Rodgers as Reds boss last October and immediately sought to introduce the high-pressing style that proved so successful at Borussia Dortmund.

However, questions were asked about the approach when a succession of Liverpool players were ruled out through injury, leaving Klopp to turn to the club’s youngsters.

And newly-appointed Inter boss de Boer – who was overlooked for the Everton job during the summer – believes it would have been better for Klopp to “slow down”.

“We’ll see my Inter after four months, that’s the norm,” he said to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“In January, you will have more of an idea about what we are trying to do as I have only arrived.

“We also must be very careful at the moment not to be too intense in training as it can lead to many injuries.

“I remember (Jurgen) Klopp taking over at Liverpool last October and tried to immediately impose his high-pressing style which he used at Borussia Dortmund and it resulted in several injuries, nine in fact. Sometimes it is better to slow down.”
