Jordon Ibe reveals bizarre thing Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp does in training

Jordon Ibe says Jurgen Klopp hits players in training

 

JORDON IBE has revealed Jurgen Klopp has a tendency to slap the younger Liverpool players in training.

 

The 20-year-old has enjoyed a run in the squad since Klopp's arrival, scoring twice this season in the Europa League and 6-1 thrashing of Southampton in the Capital One Cup.

And he has admitted the former Borussia Dortmund coach employs some unusual techniques in training, hitting his players to motivate them.

 

"He does it for encouragement, to get you going," he told The Independent. 

"He's slapped me three or four times now!"

However, the 20-year-old says he's not the only one on the receiving end of Klopp's tough love and has revealed the German calls himself 'the demon'.

"I'm not the only one, though. Clyney (Nathaniel Clyne) too - I think he got it the worst after one game.

 

"There was a six-second Vine of it, you should have seen Clyney's face!"

"He told us at the beginning that he's got that in him – to be like a demon, that was the word he used, 'demon'."
