00:00 I'm really happy for him because this is a massive club.

00:05 Anybody taking over from Klopp at the minute has a huge task ahead of him.

00:11 It's not up to me to judge Leo's things, but it sounds all really good.

00:18 Best job in the world, best club in the world, best job in the world.

00:35 And obviously now I'm healthy, even with not seeing anything on the eye,

00:44 It's an offensive style with a realistic approach to the game.

00:59 He likes to play a pressing game,

01:03 put pressure on the front, the build-up of the opponent.

01:06 And the earlier you can win the ball back,

01:15 on the opposite half, the closer you are to the opposition goal.

01:18 MUSIC PLAYS

01:21 Yeah, it's similar, yes.

01:30 I played under Arne at AZ Alkmaar,

01:35 and we were high up on the pitch, pressing high,

01:38 standing on the halfway line.

01:42 So, yeah, the pressure needs to be very good then from the forwards as well,

01:49 and I think that's quite similar if you look to Liverpool nowadays.

02:03 I like a lot about it at first moment,

02:05 that if he is the one that wants to take the job,

02:08 and is desperate, "Come on, let's go for it", excited rather.

02:11 I like the way his team play football, I can say that definitely.

02:16 MUSIC PLAYS

02:19 Dedicated, energetic, tries to help the team as much as possible.
