Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has been buoyed by
the appointment of Jurgen Klopp, who he credits with
giving him a new energy.
Lucas Leiva believes the arrival of Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool
manager has injected fresh impetus into his Anfield career.
Klopp took over from Brendan Rodgers last month and has
engineered something of a turnaround in fortunes in the opening
weeks of his tenure.
Liverpool drew their first three games under Klopp before
beating AFC Bournemouth, Premier League champions Chelsea
and Rubin Kazan, only to then lose 2-1 at home to Crystal
Palace last Sunday.
Brazil midfielder Lucas believes Klopp's appointment has been
a positive step for his personal development, telling Globo
Esporte: "I believe that the arrival of Klopp has given me a new
energy, a new gas.
"He shows he has enough confidence in me. I have learned a lot
from him.
"He's very demanding, but has clear ideas about football. I've
gotten a long well with him in the first month.
"He is a direct guy, as I imagined, knowing the German culture,
but he is open too. I feel close [to him], knowing he is the
boss."
