Age is not a problem for Klopp's selection process

Contrary to other big managers in the world, Jurgen Klopp has a very specific way of dealing with young talent. In fact, his specialty is finding great talent from the most unlikely places. Young England talent Ben Woodburn just had a dream debut with Liverpool, he became the youngest player to score a goal for the club and left Michael Owen's record behind. He owes everything to Jurgen Klopp, because if it wasn't for his opportunity he may have not debuted at all. 

When asked if age was a problem for him, Klopp said: "No, as long as the player develops, I don't care about the age. They're all younger than me. They're all young lads, some at a very young age, some at the best age and some where we can really use their experience. Everything is good. I enjoy working with these guys. I don't compare how old you are. If you start really early, you have a long time to have a career. I think in this moment we are the right club for boys to develop and improve and get the best player they can get.

"They are involved in all our plans, not only the three lads now. I don't know when you stop being a young player; 22, 23 is still young. We need to give them a situation where they can come through and they're ready when we use them. A few ups and downs, but as long as you are under the right circumstances and at the right club, we have no doubt about the potential of these boys. A little bit of luck, right attitude, [then] we have a decent player I think."
