Juergen Klopp has been the main reason Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to choose Liverpool instead of Chelsea, the footballer himself revealed.
The Arsenal footballer passed to the Reds on the last day of the summer transfer period for 35 million pounds, after previously refusing to re-sign his contract with the Gunners for over 180 000 pounds a week.
`Even at the side, watching him last season I realized that he was a very interesting character and someone who can be an inspiration for people even outside the club.`, commented the player.
`You can see his passion and how much he is dedicated to the game. For me, his attitude with the football players made me the strongest impression and how close he seems to them on the field, but also outside it. That is very important and a great advantage when you want to progress. Such a relationship with the manager helps much.`, he added.
`And of course the obvious thing is the way in which the team plays is something that inspires me and was a major reason to feel that this is the right place for me!`, said Chamberlain, who yesterday trained with the Reds and was greeted with a hug from Klopp in his meeting with him.
