We talk about the dressing room, he is very helpful there, especially with a manager who is not a native speaker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut on the pitch as well, he played a super game. I loved this game from the boys and James was a massive part of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Klopp added: \u201cIt would be interesting to look at Luka Modric. Is he not 36 as well? Obviously a good generation. It\u2019s difficult to be fitter than Milly, he\u2019s a role model.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told him, nothing that we have achieved in the last few years would have happened without James Milner. Easy as that. Whether he\u2019s on the pitch or not. He stands out in a way not a lot of people can stand out.
