Kevin Grosskreutz Tells Liverpool Players to Expect Slaps from Jurgen Klopp

Kevin Grosskreutz has told Liverpool players to expect the odd slap from new manager Jurgen Klopp—but in a nice way.

The 27-year-old winger played over 200 times under the former Borussia Dortmund tactician, and he is well placed to discuss his style of man-management.

In a column for the Daily Mail, he wrote:

"

Jurgen Klopp may bump heads with his players on Saturday, he may even slap them but one message will be clear: it is not about you, it is about the team.

Klopp is an emotional guy. You have seen on television how he is on the touchline living every kick? Let me tell you he is equally animated in the dressing room. He is colourful, angry, emotional but he definitely has a plan. He has a clear strategy, he combines brains and guts.

"

The new Reds boss begins life in the Premier League away at Tottenham Hotspur, and we'll be sure to look out for a Klopp slap at White Hart Lane on Saturday.
