Zenit St Petersburg defender Dejan Lovren says Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp's high standards is what sets him apart.

Lovren helped Liverpool win the Champions League under Klopp in 2019.

He told Sport-Express: "I'll call it work ethic. Klopp challenges the players to work hard. That is why I want to show everyone: it doesn't matter if you play against Arsenal Tula or Lazio with Borussia, the mood should be the same.

"This is what I learned at Liverpool. It's not just Chelsea and Manchester United that you have to give your best. It is necessary to constantly and consistently maintain a high level of football.

"So for me it doesn't matter who Zenit meets - Spartak or Ufa. In any case, I give myself one hundred percent. I would like to convey this approach to the younger generation."
