2019-20 UEFA Champions League: A clash of styles when Liverpool meet Napoli

Defending champions Liverpool will kick-start their 2019-20 season of the UEFA Champions League with a mouthwatering encounter against Serie A biggies Napoli this week.

When the two clubs with attractive football philosophies lock horns on the field, it will be two different personas on the sideline watching over the players. As head coaches, Jurgen Klopp and Carlo Ancelotti have been highly successful in their careers but they have both adopted slightly different routes to get to glory.

Ancelotti, or King Carlo as he is affectionately called, is a calculated tactician who tries to find the balance between pragmatism and adventure when asking his teams to pass and move.
