Coutinho: Klopp gives confidence to players
Liverpool players believe in their potential because of the winning mentality Jurgen Klopp has brought to the club, according to Philippe Coutinho.
Just over 12 months since Klopp took charge, the Reds are one point clear at the top of the Premier League table after the opening 11 games of the season.
The German has introduced the high-pressing football that he became known for during his time at Borussia Dortmund, but Coutinho believes the confidence he has instilled in his players has contributed to their success.
"The winning mentality, the coach has brought this. He emphasises it a lot," he told the club's offical website.
"He gives confidence to the players. I think today we believe more in our own potential and that has made us better on the field.
"Since he has arrived, the work that he implemented is his ideas. Of course, week by week, we train and practise the game according to the opponent.
"But he always asks for the same thing: hard work with a lot of dedication. It’s a team that puts a lot of pressure on the opponent and that is what he asks us to do, keeping the ball. So they are the same things."
