His future boss Jürgen Klopp has already left his mark on RB Leipzig coach Marco Rose as a player. "We had situations in Mainz where we felt hopeless. Kloppo came in the next day and gave us the feeling that we wanted to play the next game straight away," said Rose. "Believing in yourself, never giving up, those were important attributes I learned from Kloppo - alongside good defending."
Rose did not offer any tips for Leipzig's match against Klopp's former club Liverpool FC in the Champions League. He also sees parallels to Klopp under new coach Arne Slot. "The nature of the game has hardly changed," said the 48-year-old. "It's very intense, they're strong against the ball. That has always characterized Liverpool."
