Klopp: 'Tonight was the result of the last 10 days what we saw in training'

Jurgen Klopp was asked about what he liked in Liverpool's 4-1 win over AC Milan and the boss said a number of things, including the performances of the younger players:

"I liked how our midfield was connected, I liked our build-up because they surprised us a little bit with the system – I'm not sure they played it very often but because of their problems what they have with injuries they changed. So building up with three, we needed to adapt a little bit. When we did that, pressing was really good as well."

"And, of course, when you bring on the kids [in the] second half and you see the pass from Bobby Clark and the whole performance from Stefan, the performance from Mel as a right full-back and then Ben Doak comes on, 16 years old, and is this kind of natural force, it's really cool to see.

"In these 10, 11 days, the kids especially, everybody made a real step forward. That's why these things are so important, that we can involve them. And in general, tonight was the result of the last 10 days what we saw in training and tonight we could bring it on the pitch, which is obviously nice."
