Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp sent a letter to an eleven year old supporter who suffers from anxiety.

The Reds boss got a letter from the young fan who was asking the German for advice on how to deal with his anxiety problem.

The 11-year-old, Lewis Balfe, is starting secondary school, and was nervous about that change in his life.

Klopp said in the touching letter: "Hello Lewis, can I start by telling you a secret?

"I get nervous. To be totally honest I would be worried if I did not get nervous because when it happens it gives me the chance to turn the energy into something positive.

"I know it might be strange for a boy of your age to think that the Liverpool [manager] can feel the way that you do, but I do.

He then added: "You do not need to worry about bad things happening.

"As you know, I lost more than a fair few finals and this isn't a good feeling, but with the help of family and friends I kept going and in the end we were able to enjoy some really good times.

"If I had dwelled on the bad moments, I know that this would not have been possible, so please be positive about yourself and look forward to the brilliant time that I know that you will have growing up."
