Neco Williams reveals how Jurgen Klopp has helped him through 'bad' times at Liverpool as teenage defender hails the 'confidence' the manager gives him on the training ground

Neco Williams has praised Jurgen Klopp's approach to managing Liverpool's young players as pivotal in his own development, adding that he has matured as player thanks to the Reds boss.

The 19-year-old, who broke through from the club's academy last season, was part of the squad that won the Premier League title and has also gone on to win a number of Wales caps.

Despite the fact the Reds have struggled to maintain the heady heights of the previous campaign, the right back has continued to impress and has now paid tribute to the role Klopp played in his progression as a professional.
