Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana insists that he is thriving under Jurgen Klopp because he is willing to sacrifice himself for the team.
Lallana, 28, joined Liverpool from Southampton in 2014 for around £25 million and believes what he learned from then-boss Mauricio Pochettino is serving him well at Anfield.
"He [Pochettino] brought a different element to the way the teams worked," Lallana he told the Daily Telegraph. "He brought the enthusiasm to want to work hard and he made working hard enjoyable. He didn't want you to be just technically gifted. His demand was you work hard and if you are technically gifted on top, then great.
"You had to run, and be fitter than the other team. But also to run when you had no chance to win the ball back in order that the team would win it back when the opposition made the next pass. You had to sacrifice yourself for the team. That was his moral view. It is very similar under the boss [Klopp] here now. He wants his players to sacrifice themselves for the team.
"That sends a great message throughout the team and a great feeling. You can't just switch it on and off. When the manager comes in he cannot say, 'This is something I want to do'. It is an environment that the manager creates and it happens over time. We definitely had it at Southampton, I can see that Tottenham have it now and that we have it here at Liverpool."
Lallana has scored seven goals and laid on seven assists this season, but the midfielder believes his role is about more than that now.
"I feel now that a tackle or an interception high up the pitch is as nice a feeling as creating a goal for someone else," he said. "Football has moved on in the last three or four years, in the way that teams do want to press high and win the ball back closer to the opponents' goal.
"I think the demand has changed for every player to do that in the team. We don't say anymore 'OK, we have a player who is unbelievably technically gifted, he will score us 20 goals but he doesn't have to work hard'. Everyone needs to put a shift in."
