Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu says he appreciates playing for manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Romeu says Hasenhuttl's style suits the modern game.

He told Radio Marca: "The modern game is going towards intensity, high pressure, towards a football of recovering many balls in the rival's half.

"For me, football is going in that direction, and the coaches who practice that pressure so aggressive in such a vertical and direct style of play, such as Hasenhüttl, Klopp, Tuchel, Rangnick, they are having a lot of success.

"I, who came from a possession style of play, had to adapt to that football because I didn't have that intensity in me."
