EPL midfielder Steven Gerrard has always admired Klopp

The EPL midfielder has stated in the past that he finds Klopp’s unique ideas and methods fascinating. Gerrard is currently the manager at Rangers FC and continues to learn whatever he can from Klopp and his vast managerial experience. In an interview alongside Klopp in 2019, Gerrard lauded the manager’s unique skill set.
