COMMUNICATION among the Liverpool squad will not be a problem, insists new manager Jurgen Klopp.
New Liverpool manager Klopp is 'The Normal One'
Klopp, 48, signed a three-year contract at Liverpool this week worth £7million a season.
The German spoke in English during his first press conference on Friday.

"There won't be any problem with the players as there are also loads of foreign players,” he said.

“My English is probably as bad as theirs so they will understand me a lot easier.
"And also, as I am not a native speaker, I won't just start talking random stuff, because I will have to make an effort in order to be understood.
“It is not important to be fluent in a language.
“It is important to say the right words at the right time."
