00:00 I'm really happy for him because this is a massive club.
00:05 Anybody taking over from Klopp at the minute has a huge task ahead of him.
00:11 It's not up to me to judge Leo's things, but it sounds all really good.
00:15 MUSIC PLAYS
00:18 Best job in the world, best club in the world, best job in the world.
00:35 And obviously now I'm healthy, even with not seeing anything on the eye,
00:38 so there's space for improvement, let me say it like that.
00:41 MUSIC PLAYS
00:44 It's an offensive style with a realistic approach to the game.
00:59 He likes to play a pressing game,
01:03 put pressure on the front, the build-up of the opponent.
01:06 And the earlier you can win the ball back,
01:15 on the opposite half, the closer you are to the opposition goal.
01:18 MUSIC PLAYS
01:21 Yeah, it's similar, yes.
01:30 I played under Arne at AZ Alkmaar,
01:35 and we were high up on the pitch, pressing high,
01:38 standing on the halfway line.
01:42 So, yeah, the pressure needs to be very good then from the forwards as well,
01:49 and I think that's quite similar if you look to Liverpool nowadays.
01:53 MUSIC PLAYS
02:03 I like a lot about it at first moment,
02:05 that if he is the one that wants to take the job,
02:08 and is desperate, "Come on, let's go for it", excited rather.
02:11 I like the way his team play football, I can say that definitely.
02:16 MUSIC PLAYS
02:19 Dedicated, energetic, tries to help the team as much as possible.
02:31 He will coach players if needed, and I think that's what he is, how he's like.
