"Must be so exciting being a Liverpool fan" - Cesc Fabregas in awe of 'role model' Jurgen Klopp
Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp have impressed Monaco star Cesc Fabregas, who revealed his amazement at the ongoing project at Anfield. The former Barcelona midfielder has been very impressed with how Klopp’s team has been performing and gave the club its due respect.
The Spanish World Cup winner took to Twitter to share his opinion on Liverpool's performances in recent years, tweeting:
“Even though they are competing vs one of the best teams in the last few years in Man City, it must be so exciting being a Liverpool fan the last couple of years. What Klopp has created around the club it’s actually amazing and you can feel the energy in every game. A role model.”
Fabregas, who has featured for some of the best clubs in the world, is no stranger to high performing teams and clearly respects Liverpool. While the Reds are currently one point behind Manchester City in the league standings, they remain in every other competition and could end up winning a remarkable quadruple.
