Brighton midfielder Adam Lallana has admitted to searching online for Jurgen Klopp's style of football after Liverpool announced his appointment in October 2015.

The attacking midfielder spoke about his "strong connection" with Klopp and praised his former manager for his tactics.

Lallana recalled Klopp's appointment during a new five-part dock-series 'JURGEN' produced by the Anfield Wrap.

He said: "I remember being on international duty and him getting announced.

"I remember typing his name into Google and seeing what type of football he liked. Because obviously, I had a tough first year and I was looking to kick on in my Liverpool career.

"I remember it saying 'he likes Gegenpressing,' and I was like 'what's Gegenpressing?'. You look at it and it was almost like a form of counter-pressing and running, and I thought: 'Cor, that's the type of football I like playing'."
