Kevin worked with Klopp at Bayern
Ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League game between Barcelona and Liverpool, Kevin-Prince Boateng has heaped praises on Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, for his ability to get the best out of his players.
The 32-year-old Barcelona attacker described Klopp among the few managers with that ability to encourage players to feel special.
According to the German-born Ghana international, even fringe players in his team are made to feel as though they were special which he has demonstrated with Dortmund and now with Liverpool.
“He knows exactly what to say to get a player to die for him,” said Prince. “He has that more than anyone else. You could see it at Dortmund and now at Liverpool too.
“Including players who aren’t starters, they have the feeling that they are special. With him as coach, there’s a special collective sentiment.”
Speaking about the Barcelona goalkeeper, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Boateng also praised him for his qualities and believes he should be given the nod ahead of Germany first choice goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer.
“For me, he deserves to be it (the starter),” said Prince. “He shines in all of the games and has so much calm with the ball at his feet.
“I don’t want to say that I desire any ill to Neuer, he’s an extraordinary goalkeeper too. But in this moment of changes in the German national team, it would be right for Marc-Andre to be the No 1. He deserves it.” Boateng said.
