He has no doubt which side he wants to see Oostende play like, with Ganaye full of admiration for the way that Klopp's Liverpool go about their business.

With German Alexander Blessin having been appointed as the club's new coach, Ganaye has sent a clear message over the way in which he should look to set-up Oostende. 
 


The executive president told Focus-WTV: "Counter-pressing is very intense. From the moment you lose the ball, the players closest to you must capture the ball as quickly as possible.



"If that happens very high up the pitch, you have a lot of shots on target.

"That is excitng. That is Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool", Ganaye stressed.
