Watch the full interview here • James Milner's Greates...

What was Klopp like to work with when he first arrived?
How did he use anger to set standards early on?
What preconceptions might Klopp have had about English footballers?
Milner also recalls the funny conversation he and Klopp had about changing his role with Liverpool, why he claims to have made Andy Robertson's career and how his 'team first' mindset allowed him to flourish at Liverpool, even when asked to play out of position.

How Jurgen Klopp transformed Liverpool and evolved as a manager
What is Jurgen Klopp's greatest moment as Liverpool manager? 🤔
That Barcelona comeback for me, one of the great European nights 👊
@@ukArnzunbelievable Jeff
Winning the premier league in the timeframe he said he would
Draw with West Brom and thanking the fans 😂
@@ukArnzagree with that one
Milner’s willingness to play at left back was absolutely key to LFC’s progress under Klopp because Alberto Moreno was an unmitigated disaster. That gave the team time to acquire and develop Andy Robertson, who became world class there and allowed Milner to move back into his preferred midfield role. What a class player!
Team player through and through ❤
Consummate professional. When Stevie G left, he helped fill those mighty boots, not by playing the same, but by being a leader andnm stepping up to whatever he was asked to do. I'm gutted he didnt see out his career with us. Such a positive influence on the entire squad. YNWA.
Absolutely love this guy, was gutted to see him go. Hope he comes back to a coaching position for LFC.
Surely there'll be something for him if that's what he wants to do 💯
Why? He doesn't seem the smartest and you can't listen to that voice while training and that really does matter
@@dondamon4669YOU can’t listen to that voice
Milner should be a awarded a life long acknowledgement in LFC hall of fame. He is one of those rare player's that over years of services always gives his very best. A very selfless player 😂
I remember when my husband told me that we had bought Milner. I was so happy, cause he was a nightmare to play against. I called him my potatoe because he was so versitale. He could be used everywhere for almost anything and do it so well.
cool!
Can remember a friend who supported the mags when he played for them saying he’s a 7/10 every game. At the time I thought that’s not great, but realised he is a 7/10 in EVERY game he plays. Brilliant servant to his clubs.
As red I loved Milner he wasn’t a pretty footballer but what he did on the pitch helped to our success. Liverpool legend
A complete model professional every young player look to emulate how to use your talent and extend your career
No doubt about that, hopefully he goes into coaching 🙌
@@footballsgreatestpod Was about to say. Hope he takes over Liverpool one day. He has trained with the 2 best coaches in the world, and is definantly a leader. Can see a similar arc as Alonso is having now for him.
Liverpool fan here, i absolutely love this guy
Him and Firmino were probably my two favourites. They were proper team players
Milner played 100% all the time win or loss raining or not. Super.
Milner is a true pro. 👍
Not just the best free transfer ever but an absolute legend
❤
How many true great swiss army knife players have their been in the game? A player who can do that should be held in the highest regard. Milner was unbelievable at Liverpool - he could probably play any position except central defence. Now we have Gomez doing it across all the defensive positions. A player like that is absolutely invaluable.
Legend status. 37 and still playing at the highest level
Premier League great
I'm sure there's a quote of Jurgen saying he couldn't believe City let Milner go on a free but i cant find it to validate
Got to be one of the Prem's greatest free transfers
Yes I can confirm Klopp did said that
They offered him a new deal on more money he was offered elsewhere I believe but wanted to be a first team player. Turned out to be a great decision
Would still do a job at Liverpool. The best example of the complete professional.
Apart from the football ability,but was a good squad player like Phil Neville could play anywhere apart from winger or striker but not as good as Neville
Milner will be a great manager in the future
There you go, here's a man to look up to. What a lad, what a fantastic career. Pozdro666
Milner will forever be one of my favorites
What a player and what a ultimate professional.
Agreed!
What a lovely guy and a dedicated pro. SUCH a team player. Not bad for a burro.
I believe Milner has a chance to one day manage Liverpool.
Who would be his assistant? Lallana? 😅
@@footballsgreatestpod time will tell
you think he’d even deserve a shot at managing one of the biggest clubs on the planet? Based off a good interview 😂🤔
@@philipezra8671 not based on this interview. His work ethics, discipline and leadership skills. He will be a manager someday
Why he hasn't managed??
Respect 🫡
Was at Wakefield Wildcats ground watching Leeds reserves. This 16 yr old came on and was flying up & down the wing. Said to my Dad 'who TF is that' as he looked very good. It was Milner.
Hendo and Milner were absolutely vital being in and around the team, 2 leaders, 2 vets, this guy was killing the youth in bleep tests 😅
Love watching the bleep test. Looked brutal
Top Top Player and pro 💯🔥
Great professional 👏
At 6:02 your video freezes @footballsgreatestpod
Apologies, hope you still enjoy regardless, you can watch the full episode here kzhead.info/sun/dpawkat7mKtvl2w/bejne.html
I thought Milly was just really considering his response
@@OCMRick never in a rush on and off the pitch
Klopp❤
I remember Milner slapping I think it was Moreno 😂for that error lol
😂😂😂
I remember him slapping Tsimikas. 😅
Love this guy
Why does it freeze
His indirectly the reason Klopp is leaving. Jürgen mentioned in an interview his had to do so much extra work around Melwood than his used too because Milly was there. Extra work...lack of energy...Klopp even begged the board to keep Milly another year.
Every time I see Milner I can’t help it but think about that Messi nutmeg in the Champions League
Do it for the team 😂
theres like a minute gap audio and video stop?
Brendan Rodgers 'success' was 100 % cos of Suarez
Proper baller
Future LFC Boss?!
Now that would be fun to see
Fittest team in the league under Jurgen.
Legs for days
Only the test of fire makes fine steel.
Great player milner should have stayed at Liverpool x ❤️ x ❤️ x ❤️
Doubters to Believers and he kept it.
Always be Liverpool legend leeds Newcastle legend don’t no if city u legend there but sure u r at clubs mentioned i reacon be amazing manager aswell
Like Steven gerrard 😂😂😂
City fans like to boo their old players even though they let them go bcos they were not needed. Milner gets it every time and just recently they did same to Jesus.
The midfield three of milner, henderson and wijnaldum really worked after coutinho left. Were they the best players.. no, did they work their socks off so robertson and trent could get down the wings.. yes!
Model pro, sorry he left City before Pep came, l think Pep would have liked him, a team player
👏👏👏
Think James Milner has two different peoples legs
فين الحلقة يا فوكس!
Linked in the description 👍
Read souness in daily mail. Winning Premiership is worth 5 FA cups +5 Eufa. Blessing in Disguise to exit cups as LFC now have 3 less games. More time to rest mentally & heal. Much less risk of injuries & red cards & mental fatigue & focus without distraction on what really matters. Premiership champions. Destiny will make it happen. Just like destiny drove Messi to finally win World Cup ! DESTINY - written in the stars !.
Yes written in the stars, LOL!!!! Love your fans delusional talk.
He didnt evolve. He came after a Gerrard slip cost them the title. They were a title challenging team as it was.
Lol….out of last 6 seasons before klop ….that season was the only time liverpool finished top 4…that’s is not title challenge team ….bullshit….
Milner will always be remembered by messi's nutmeg and pep's reaction .
