Klopp's praise for 'perfect' Gini Wijnaldum
The Dutchman was, of course, a key figure in the Reds’ charge to Champions League glory last season, with his brace off the bench in the semi-final comeback against Barcelona an unforgettable contribution.
Wijnaldum has carried his consistency into 2019-20, featuring in 14 of Liverpool’s 15 games in all competitions, with 11 starts, despite significant competition for places.
That influence for club, and indeed country, was recognised with a nomination for the 2019 Ballon d’Or earlier this week as seven of Klopp’s players made the shortlist.
“Gini speaks on the pitch for the way he plays,” said the Reds boss.
