Marco Reus on 'Animal' Jurgen Klopp: 'You Only Knew Somebody Like Him from TV'

Borussia Dortmund playmaker Marco Reus has revealed Jurgen Klopp played a key role in convincing him to sign for the club.

Reus joined Dortmund in 2012, back when Klopp was still in charge, and the player evidently has a great deal of admiration for the Liverpool boss.

Per Goal's Niklas Konig, he said:

"Oh my god, Jurgen was such an animal! You only knew somebody like him from TV.

"If Jurgen sits in front of you with his aura, with his aggressiveness, which he radiates even when speaking, with his size, then that is quite impressive.
