Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has given an insight into Jurgen Klopp's training methods after two months of working under the German coach.
Klopp took over from Brendan Rodgers as Liverpool manager in October and has enjoyed a good start to his reign at Anfield, although the Reds suffered a setback on Sunday when they lost 2-0 at Newcastle.
Lovren has revealed one of the keys to the team's improvement is Klopp's focus on getting his players to work as a unit during his training sessions at Melwood.
"We are doing a lot of teamwork, not so much individual," Lovren told the official Liverpool FC magazine.
"Maybe there is more one-to-one work with some of the young players but we will definitely look at things as a team.
"When he shows us footage or talks us through an exercise, he will look at it in terms of the whole team and explain how we need to do something specific or how, as a team, we need to do something better.
"Of course, you know when he is talking about you but usually it's within the context of the team.
"We have changed things so that we are defending a little bit higher now. That gives a little bit more element of risk but it also means we are more compact as a unit."
Former Borussia Dortmund boss Klopp is also keen to change the Liverpool players' mentality, according to Lovren.
"He certainly has strong ideas and we have noticed a difference," added the Croatia international.
"Each manager has a different way of training and his own thoughts on how he wants us to play. I believe we have adapted very quickly as a squad.
"We are definitely working hard on the training ground but now it is all about the mentality. I think the English and the Germans are different in this aspect.
"It is a big thing to change, but I think the stats and so on show that we have been doing okay with Jurgen so far.
"We have only been working with him a short time, barely two months, and we have already had some good results with him.
"With time it will be better. With his methods and his way of working, I don't see how it cannot be better."
