Gerrard has heaped praise on Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp

The former midfielder then spent a year-and-a-half in the MLS with La Galaxy before he swiftly began coaching the Liverpool Under-18s, where he was in close contact with Klopp.And Gerrard, who is now in charge of Rangers, has revealed he still occasionally calls on the German for advice and is almost jealous of the Reds stars working under the German.Speaking as part of a Channel 4 documentary this week, he said: Ive had many sit-downs with him. Hes an open bookhe invites me into his officeIm incredibly lucky and blessed I do get that invite.And the thing I take away is: imagine playing for him. I wasnt lucky enough to play forJurgen Klopp. Probably too old, just missed the boat if you like. But Im almost jealous of the Liverpool players.I come out of his office after a sit-down, and when I walk out of the training ground I actually want to walk back in and sit with him.I want to put a kit on and play for them, and run for them and run hard. Hes infectious, he inspires you.Gerrard also continued to say a huge factor in Klopp’s success at Liverpool is his leadership and personality.Getty2

Gerrard had a solid first season in charge at Ibrox

“The one thing that Id say is his major strength is his personality, he continued.The majority of people only see him on camera, and they they talk about this personality.This is a special personality, its an infectious character to be around.He makes you feel special and wanted, and welcome. Thats the reason why the players are doing it for him. Because of this infectious personality.Hes a man that youll want to see succeed in the game.I think the Liverpool supporters, the fans, the people, the city, the playersJurgens got that connection with them. Its something special to see.
