Former Liverpool star Adam Lallana has opened up on the tricky training schedule under Jurgen Klopp.

“There’s training [in the] afternoon most days, whereas at Brighton, because we train every morning, we always have the afternoon,” Lallana told YouTube channel Gaz’s Golf.

“At Liverpool, training could be at 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, depending on times of games. That’s kind of how Jurgen works.

“I think it’s not as much like that [now], but when he first came in that was his model.

“In the morning you’d be waiting around, you’d drop the kids off, go for breakfast, you couldn’t play golf before you train.”

He added: “There would have been an element of [not wanting players to play golf], because playing for Liverpool, it’s literally your life.

“Coming out of Liverpool, I feel like I’ve got a little bit more of a life back.

“Not that I didn’t enjoy it, I loved it at the time, and I love it at Brighton now for different reasons.”

It’s worth noting that Lallana and Klopp have spoken fondly of each other previously and parted on good terms.
