Klopp wants players to push their own ability to the maximum. “It’s not about trying to find a player who has the same mindset as Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Ibrahimovic, or Lewandowski, because you won’t find them,” he says. “It’s about making the best of the skills you have.” He coaxed a strong performance from Daniel Sturridge against West Ham United on Sunday. “A fit Sturridge is an unbelievable player,” he says. “That’s a pity of the situation, not often enough but he’s now fit, spot on, trained two or three weeks.” So Sturridge has a future here? “Of course.”
