Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch gave us an insight into Jurgen Klopp's renowned man management skills during his latest post-match interview.

The Reds came from behind to beat Austrian side LASK on Thursday night as goals from Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah secured a 3-1 win at the Raiffeisen Arena in Linz.

Gravenberch, meanwhile, was handed his full debut in the Europa League clash and to his credit, he repaid Jurgen Klopp's faith with a superb individual performance that featured an assist.

His outing against LASK was eventually cut short through an injury that has since been played down by Klopp, who confirmed it was only cramp.

The German manager would also praise Gravenberch in his post-match interview for playing a "super" game, before adding: "He was decisive for us."

After the full-time whistle, Gravenberch spoke to the media about a number of subjects, including the advice he received in the build-up to Thursday's game.

When prodded about Jurgen Klopp and whether he's asked anything of him that's different to other coaches, Gravenberch revealed what the manager said to him after Wednesday's training session.

"Yesterday after training he came to me and said feel free. You can do whatever you want," the midfielder told TNT Sports. "Of course you have to do your things, but he just said feel free and show yourself and the Ryan you are."

You can see that interview in full below.

Here's how social media reacted to the above clip.

One fan said: "My manager man. Tells his players to always believe in themselves," while another commented: "Nobody can doubt his man management, truly up there."

A third wrote: "To see Gravenberch in his interview after the game with that smile ear to ear. He looks so happy. Finally has a coach who will trust him and defend him no matter what."

A fourth added: "Gravenberch’s interviews are so so refreshing. It’s obvs he’s never been media trained and it’s nice to see the authenticity."

A compilation of the Dutchman's performance against LASK soon emerged after the final whistle, with many voicing their approval of his influence in midfield areas.

Thoughts on Gravenberch's full debut for Liverpool?
