On-field technical brilliance aside, Klopp is also known to be a great dressing room personality, always prepared to lend a helping hand. Robertson, who was signed by Klopp from Hull City in 2017, has hailed the 54-year-old’s impact, lauding him for changing the team’s mentality. Speaking to , the Scotland international said: “He's [Klopp] made this club better. He's put us back into a position where we're competing for trophies. When he took over, nobody would've put Liverpool up there for Champions Leagues, nobody would've put Liverpool up there for competing for Premier Leagues. And now we're always in the conversation, and that's down to him and his staff. He's changed the mentality around everyone. The fans all love him; they've all bought into what he was doing.” The 28-year-old then shed some light on Klopp’s leadership skills, claiming that he would go down in the history books as a Liverpool legend. Robertson added: “Obviously, it takes the boys to buy into it, but it's quite an easy philosophy to buy into when it works, and it usually does more often than not. But the manager is the leader of us; he's the one that makes the big decisions and gets the big calls right, and I think he'll definitely go down as a legend in Liverpool. When we all retire and look back on it, it will have been an honour to play under him.” Klopp has won a Premier League title, an FA Cup trophy, and a Champions League, among other honors on Merseyside. He will have the chance to add to his tally when his side face Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Paris on Saturday (May 28).
