Jurgen Klopp says nobody in world football knows more than him about Red Bull Salzburg ahead of Liverpool's fixture against the Austrian champions in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Klopp has previously spoken of the 61-year-old's influence on his career and, when discussing Salzburg's success, he said: "The main reason for it is Ralf Rangnick, who started this whole project.

"It was a really smart decision from Mr Mateschitz (Red Bull's co-founder) to employ Ralf Rangnick. It's all based on him.

"It's a proper unit; a young, exciting team full of power. They're really strong, a really good opponent. Very, very well organised.

"This game is really, really tough and they will surprise a lot of people, and in the future as well. The way Salzburg is playing is made to surprise bigger teams.

"But if there is anybody in the world who knows the most about the way they play then it's probably me. I've followed Ralf for a long, long time and have a similar idea. [And] I have a pretty good side as well."
