Lucas Leiva: 'Jurgen Klopp arrival has given me new lease of life at Liverpool'

Lucas Leiva of Liverpool in action during the Barclays Premier League match between Everton and Liverpool at Goodison Park on October 4, 2015 in Liverpool, England.
Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has revealed that Jurgen Klopp's arrival at Anfield has given him a new lease of life.

Klopp was brought in to replace the sacked Brendan Rodgers at the start of October and Lucas has been keen to state that the German coach has taught him a lot already during his short time in charge.
"I believe the arrival of Klopp gave me new energy, new fuel. He showed that he has confidence in me," Lucas told Globoesporte.
"I have learned a lot with him. He's very demanding, but he has clear ideas about football.
"I've done well with him this first month. He's a very direct guy, but is very open also. We feel close, knowing that he's the boss. We have to follow his lead."
Liverpool currently occupy 10th spot in the Premier League standings after 12 games played this season.

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
