The Liverpool boss discussed the state of German football and the development of their international stars, suggesting that a number of tall technical players are poor in the air.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has questioned the development of German players, suggesting that technically skilled attackers like Mesut Ozil, Andre Schurrle and Marco Reus cannot head a ball.
Klopp, whose Liverpool side heads to Germany to take on Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League quarterfinal, suggested that German football's move towards technical skill has come at a price.
The former Dortmund boss singled out the trio as technical players who started as strikers but had to move further back into midfield due to an inability to head the ball and a need for more space to work with.
