Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he has his players wrap up his team talks.
Though Klopp is regarded as one of the best communicators in football, the 54-year-old German thinks the final moments before kick off require something different.
"I run meetings during the week and stuff like that but the pep talk before the game, Milly (James Milner), Hendo and some others like Robbo (Andy Robertson) are more vocal in the last few minutes," he explains.
"As a non-native speaker, I am not very vocal then because it doesn't make sense in this moment. Each word has to hit the nail and not like 'err, err' around it – it doesn't work.
"My English is getting better and it is the same for Sadio (Mane) and Mo (Salah), obviously.
"It took a while for Naby Keita to speak good enough English to understand us all but his English is really good now."
