Liverpool - football style that carried Jurgen Klopp in Germany could not be 100% applicable in the United Kingdom. Klopp had to make adjustments, either because of the weather."The game in England is not faster than in Germany. There may be a few more sprints. However, there is a different style of football here, partly because of the weather," said Klopp told Sport Bild.Klopp was appointed as manager of Liverpool in October. One of the problems he had faced since working in the UK is the wind in the stadium. According to him, it affects the game.

"The wind can be very extreme in England. We are not accustomed to it in Germany and you have to keep things simple. The first goal Stoke City against Manchester United is a perfect example of wind extremes. Players who do not come from the United Kingdom must be familiar with the wind, "he said.

Due to weather problems anyway, Klopp had to adapt and change his playing style."I also had to adjust my game style. Often, you are forced to keep things simple. And there is much more duel for the second ball here, and more duel in general. It makes the game more intense," he said.

In addition to weather problems, Klopp also see the difference between the referees in the Bundesliga and in the Premier League referee.'Referee-English referee did not like their colleagues in Germany. Of course you will not escape from brutal violations, but encounters here is more intense, "said Klopp."Duel-duel which usually led to abuses in Germany often does not matter in the SNI," he said.
