Jurgen Klopp had plenty to say about Brighton star Adam Lallana in his pre-match press conference for Liverpool’s clash with the Seagulls on Saturday.
The Reds host Graham Potter’s men looking to keep their unbeaten record intact, but will up against a former Anfield star in Lallana in the process. The 33-year-old made 128 league appearances for Liverpool between 2014 and 2020 and was part of the squad that won their maiden Premier League title and the Champions League under the German.
The former England man embraced Klopp’s high-pressing style from the off and the Reds boss was clearly a fan.
Speaking about Lallana ahead of Saturday’s game, he said: “I miss Adam still to be honest. Adam set the standard from the first to the last day pretty much and it was really impressive.
“What I loved about him, a football player with technical skills he has and that working mentality is really rare.
