The Liverpool manager, who was nine when Hodgson took his first job, used to study videos of Hodgson\u2019s tactics.<\/p>\n<p>And ahead of Liverpool\u2019s trip to Crystal Palace on Saturday, Klopp even used the former England manager in the same sentence as visionary Italian coach Arrigo Sacchi, who won two European Cups and a Serie A during a glory era for AC Milan.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018When Roy was in Switzerland, he implemented a 4-4-2, so my former manager Wolfgang Frank showed us a lot of videos of him,\u2019 said Klopp. \u2018It was Ariggo Sacchi and Roy Hodgson. That was the first time he crossed my way.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I am really pleased I met him here in the Premier League because he\u2019s an outstanding person and a really nice man. When I see him I ask him, \u201cWhat are you doing here?!\u201d But he looks happy, enjoying it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/08\/16\/78742753-0-image-a-97_1702051448756.jpg\" height=\"435\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jurgen Klopp has named Crystal Palace&#8217;s Roy Hodgson as one of his managerial inspirations\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/08\/16\/78742639-0-image-a-98_1702051477697.jpg\" height=\"385\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>He said his former coach would show him clips of Roy Hodgson and Arrigo Sacchi&#8217;s teams<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/08\/16\/78742643-0-image-a-101_1702051802058.jpg\" height=\"429\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The German coach also described Hodgson as a &#8216;great guy&#8217; who he &#8216;couldn&#8217;t respect more&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Not so happy when he\u2019s losing games. But I couldn\u2019t respect him more. He was my inspiration\u2026 but he\u2019s not inspiring me to work in the job that long! I don\u2019t know how he\u2019s doing that to be honest. Great guy.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Klopp also gave an injury update ahead of Liverpool\u2019s trip to south London, stating that Alexis Mac Allister is likely to miss the match after suffering a nasty gash on his knee following a bad tackle at Sheffield United on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n<p>But goalkeeper Alisson Becker is in the frame to return after missing the last two weeks with a hamstring injury sustained at Manchester City. Diogo Jota, Andy Robertson, Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic remain on the treatment table, with Joel Matip now out for the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Alisson looks good &#8211; not sure if good enough for tomorrow,\u2019 said Klopp. \u2018Macca doesn&#8217;t look good, we will have to see. It is not that serious but we&#8217;re in the period of the year where if you&#8217;re out for five days it&#8217;s 12 games pretty much!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Matip, who ruptured his ACL during the win over Fulham last weekend, is likely to miss the remainder of the season and will require surgery. The situation is complicated by the fact the 32-year-old is out of contract in the summer &#8211; but Klopp says the club will show its \u2018class\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019m pretty sure the club will show their class,\u2019 he said. \u2018I am pretty sure they told Joel already, whatever happens. He deserves all the support he will get. (New contract?) I would say so but it\u2019s not my decision.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Asked if Liverpool might try to sign a defender to fill in with Matip a long-term absentee, Klopp added: \u2018Tell me a club that wants to sell a top, top, top centre-half. We have known for four or five days that Joel will be out for a long time, there are still four centre halves, that\u2019s all right.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Is it now perfect? As long as we can go with them four, yes. As long as clubs don\u2019t put (defenders) under the Christmas tree for us\u2026 I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t think so (signing a defender) to be honest.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/08\/16\/78734401-0-Liverpool_goalkeeper_Alisson_could_return_to_the_fold_against_Pa-a-99_1702051655314.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson could return to the fold against Palace after a hamstring injury\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/08\/16\/78734413-0-The_German_coach_was_less_optimistic_about_Alexis_Mac_Allister_a-a-100_1702051659338.jpg\" height=\"437\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Klopp was less optimistic about Alexis Mac Allister after he came off against Sheffield United<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12842475\/Jurgen-Klopp-Roy-Hodgson-Liverpool-Crystal-Palace.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jurgen Klopp hails Roy Hodgson as his &#8216;inspiration&#8217;
