Jurgen Klopp has revealed the inspiration he has taken from the All Blacks to help make Liverpool title winners.
Liverpool's manager has always tried to think in different ways to squeeze extra improvement from his team, such as appointing a throw-in coach to his technical staff in September 2018 and asking a world champion surfer to give a motivational talk to his squad last August.
Klopp's respect for New Zealand's all-conquering side dates back to 2001 when he had just started out as a manager at Mainz. He watched a documentary and was so moved by what he saw that he would have his players listen to the Haka before they left the dressing room.
