Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has come out to hail Nat Phillips. He recently revealed that the Liverpool player has improved as much as anyone he’s ever coached.
According to him, his improvement is even similar to that of Robert Lewandowski, but his injury issues have prevented him from shinning consistently at the club.
Klopp added that Nat is one of the smartest players he has ever worked with and his development is absolutely insane.
His words, “I have to mention Nat Phillips,”
“People often ask me which player made the biggest improvements under my leadership, and I say Robert Lewandowski.”
“That’s probably right, but not far off that is Nat Phillips, just in a completely different department.”
“I remember when I saw Nat Phillips first. I spoke to him after the game and he’s one of the smartest players I ever worked with. I told him, ‘You know you are not the easiest on the eye, eh?”
“He improved in pretty much everything since, and he’s not playing. Life is sometimes not fair and I can’t blame him.”
“We cannot keep him forever, that’s clear. We needed him, just to be safe, for that half-year. We will see what happens in the window. He was fine doing it because he’s a great guy.”
“His development is absolutely insane. You saw it last year, you would have said ‘Nat Phillips, oh my god, he plays in the last line?”
“People love him because of his heading but with his feet he is unbelievable. He’s a late starter, but his development is unbelievable. I would sign him for any club except Liverpool, because we have him.”
