And the windy conditions of the numerous storms that have plagued Britain in recent weeks are not helping the German to implement his philosophy.
The worst of the storms is likely the current one, Storm Frank, and Klopp has revealed that he's had to alter his tactics to suit the weather.
"The English game is not faster than the German game. Perhaps there are a few more sprints. But there is a different style of football here, partially due to the weather," Klopp told Sport Bild.
"The wind can be quite extreme in England. We are not familiar with that in Germany and you have to keep things simple.
"Stoke's first goal against Manchester United was a perfect example of extreme winds. Players who are not from the UK have to get used to the winds. I have to adapt my style as a result as well.
"Often, you are forced to keep things simple. And there are a lot more duels for the second ball here, and more duels in general. That makes the game even more intense."
