“Must not go crazy”: Klopp pimps and writes off title win

“must not go crazy”
Klopp pimps and writes off title win

Liverpool FC has already won two titles this season, two more are possible. Nevertheless, coach Jürgen Klopp is upset. He doesn’t like the game plan in England at all before the championship decision. Although he considers the Premier League triumph to be unlikely anyway.

Jürgen Klopp sees his Liverpool FC at a disadvantage in the English title fight and has once again expressed strong criticism of the schedule. It was absurd that his team at FC Southampton had to play again on Tuesday (8.45 p.m. / Sky and in the live ticker on ntv.de), just three days after triumphing in the FA Cup, he complained.

“Why isn’t the FA Cup final the last game of the season? It’s like that in Germany,” said Klopp, “that would have helped with the celebrations.” That’s why he couldn’t start in Southampton with the same, i.e. his best eleven, after 120 minutes against Chelsea “it wouldn’t make sense. We can’t go crazy”.

Liverpool are playing their 61st competitive game this season. “When did Southampton have their last game? Ten, twelve days ago? Southampton are absolutely fresh,” said Klopp. He announced that defender Virgil van Dijk, like Fabinho, would not be available and that Mohamed Salah would not be available. Klopp would have preferred the penultimate league game to be played on Wednesday. But that was not possible because of the Europa League final between Eintracht Frankfurt and Glasgow Rangers.

Klopp: Already a “good season”

A win could put Liverpool within a point of defending champions Manchester City ahead of the season finale against Wolverhampton. However, Klopp no ​​longer believes in his second championship with the Reds. He “doesn’t expect” City to “drop points” in their final clash with Aston Villa, he said.

A week after the league final, Liverpool have another title chance in the premier class final against Real Madrid. But Klopp dampened expectations there too. “It would be huge if we win the Champions League, but we’re playing against the most experienced Champions League team on the planet,” said Klopp. “We’re not huge favourites. It’s an open game and any small advantage we can get is good.” With the victories in the League Cup and FA Cup, it’s already “a good season,” said Klopp.
