KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Klopp: "Drop me a text"

Jurgen Klopp believes it’s good to talk as he reveals he’s requested all Liverpool’s international players text him over the next few days to confirm they’ve got through their friendlies unscathed.

The Reds boss, who famously sent out a group text message to all of Borussia Dortmund’s squad ordering them to attend a Christmas Party during his final season at the club, reckons the communication between himself and his players should be two-way process.

Klopp’s compulsory festive bash which took place when Dortmund were languishing in the bottom two of the Bundesliga is credited with reviving their fortunes as they rallied to secure a Europa League qualification spot in the second half of the campaign.

Now, after returning from a warm-weather training camp in Tenerife with those not away with their countries, he’s expecting Anfield’s international contingent to get in touch with him.

Klopp said: “I told them that I want some messages and always a little check-up – ‘I’m fine, it’s OK’ – after the games especially.

“You can see a few games but you can’t see all the games, so you have to get all the information you can get and that’s what we want.

Yep good tactic by Klopp'o, communication is vital in all things and especially between a manager and young players.

It's funny that in interviews all the 70's and 80's players would never let on that they had an injury to the manager for fear they'd be dropped, there are stories that Shankly would not speak to injured players and didn't want they round the club as they would 'contaminate' the other players !!!

I hope we have a good tariff on our mobile contract for Sturridge, if he's txt'ing when he doesn't feel right it could cost a fortune !!!

Makes 'em feel all luved no doubt, awwwwwww.
