James Milner on Klopp's training methods, fitness secrets and more

James Milner has described the intensity of the training sessions implemented by Jürgen Klopp and his coaches, and revealed the mentality behind his own remarkable fitness levels.

The Liverpool vice-captain, now 34, has made 33 appearances so far in 2019-20 to help his side open up a huge lead at the top of the Premier League and become world champions too.

With the season currently suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Milner spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live about his career in the game and experiences since joining the Reds five years ago.

The discussion included insight on Melwood training sessions, the mindset that continues to keep him at the highest level, and why it was imperative Liverpool went on to lift the Champions League after their semi-final comeback against Barcelona last May.
