The Black Yellows’ head coach took time out to laud the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 international, while also praising the reigning German champions’ performances in the last couple of years.
Borussia Dortmund team trainer Jurgen Klopp believes that Manchester United star striker Robin van Persie is the most complete attacker football has ever seen. He is a big fan of the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 FC captain and regards him as
a great player. On the other hand, he is also delighted with the progress of his side over the last few years.
The manager saw the prolific goalscorer live during his team’s UEFA Champions League clashes with English Premier League club Arsenal last year, and he was really surprised with the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 player’s amazing displays.
He claimed that Van Persie is the best striker ever, after his performance in BVB’s game against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. He stated that the Dutch star played in three different positions in just one game. He was impressed
by this and wants the same from his players.
"Personally, when we played against Arsenal in London, I saw the best forward ever: http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380," he was quoted as saying in an interview.
"I didn't know a player could play three positions during 90 minutes. It was a great experience – and we want to use that now," the Dortmund coach added.
The former player suggested that Dortmund have improved massively in recent years, and is happy to keep his top players at Signal Iduna Park. He said that it is nice to see the club growing in all aspects and the young players
learning their trade that fast.
"It is incredible how fast the development is going and how much the guys learn. We are such a young team. When we started in Europe three years ago, the average age was 22. We are now around 23.6, still young,” the former Mainz 05 player concluded.
Klopp revealed that the average of his team was 22 three years ago, and it is still 23.6 presently which is very young for any top European club. Dortmund next play Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League first round game.
