What I mean by that is he is the most important figure.Sometimes in the team you have a star player but if you’re asking me now if I’d rather lose Van Dijk or the manager, I’d rather lose Van Dijk.He is a special manager. I don’t know what his contract situation is but I’d give him a new one.Getty2

Hopefully for him and those players it isn’t a one-off like it was for us in 2005.We won the FA Cup the year after but we didn’t really kick on and win any more trophies. Hopefully as the manager he can do that.Klopp has transformed Liverpool into Premier League title contenders, while reaching two successive Champions League finals.The former Borussia Dortmund managers contract runs until 2022.
