"Peter, what do you think?" Klopp asked another man.
Peter Krawietz, 36, was also a former Mainz player, but he wasn't a coach. He was a scout and analyst.
His job was to provide Klopp with analysis on matches and players.
"The kid's found the right path. This style of play is the most suitable for him, and it reminds me of someone."
"Who?"
"Michael Owen."
Both Klopp and Buvac frowned.
He was one of the most famous wonderkids in the European football scene. When he first debuted, his talent was undeniable.
But... he was from England!
"Everyone was drawn to Owen's speed, but in reality, when he first broke onto the scene, his off-ball movement was his sharpest weapon. Liverpool's tactics at the time also gave him the space to utilize it."
At the time, Liverpool's strategy was generally to sit back and defend, leaving space up front.
