Klopp connects with players like Liverpool legend Dalglish, says Adam

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is similar to club legend Kenny Dalglish when it comes to building a rapport with players, according to Charlie Adam.

Klopp's squad were on the brink of being crowned Premier League champions – their first top-flight title in 30 years – when the season was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, losing just once in the domestic campaign to turn a potential title race into a procession.

The German coach has overseen huge improvement in the team's fortunes since taking charge in October 2015, sealing the first trophy of his reign last June with victory over Tottenham in the Champions League final.
