Jurgen Klopp on James Milner's dressing room influence:
"I think Millie wants to be, [in the] first place, he wants to be seen as a football player and that's rightly so, because he played 9,000 games or so, that's how it feels!" #lfc [lfc]

Klopp: "That was the biggest impact he had; on the pitch. But around, and some of these things I obviously never saw, but I think a lot of things didn't even come up to my office just because Millie sorted it beforehand, which is really good."
Klopp: "It's easy for the other players to look up to him because of the way he is. Because of the way he behaves and treats everybody. He speaks nearly fluently Spanish which means he was always an important fixed point for the Spanish-speaking players when they came in."
Klopp: "[He] set the rules, set the standards [and] made sure that we all keep them. This morning we had a conversation, because yesterday there was a situation in training that Trent wanted to win the ball."
Klopp: "Millie went and stayed down and it's a normal reaction for us as the refs – the coaches; okay, foul. Trent went completely mad: 'there was no foul, there was no foul!' And this morning we spoke about it and he said when Millie is going down, everybody thinks it's a foul."
Klopp: "Because when he stays down [it must be]; number one. Number two; if you don't whistle, Millie gets angry, and nobody wants to have that. If he goes down, it will be definitely a free-kick in training, in official games it's obviously slightly different."
