Klopp: What happened was terrifying and our defender may leave in January yemenat 2023
Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp stressed that the FA Cup matches should not be held at the end of the week, with his team’s match program crowded, before his trip to Brighton.
Liverpool has two postponed matches in the English Premier League, but it will play two confrontations against Real Madrid in the Champions League final price, which means that more appointments will be booked for it in the middle of the week.
Klopp acknowledged the fact that progress in the FA Cup this year would make scheduling more complicated if the team skipped Brighton, noting he had no idea when Liverpool would be in all their arms.
“We are not famous for cups except for last year,” Klopp said in his press conference on Friday evening. “Cups are always difficult when you have midweek games, because you have to play them.
He added, “In our tight schedule, I’m not sure the FA Cup should be played at the weekend, but we’re dealing with it. It’s good to prepare but it makes things more difficult.
Liverpool will seek revenge for their humiliating 3-0 loss to Brighton in the league this month, but Klopp says he will never force his players to watch the entire game again.
And he added, “We will not show them all the situations from the Brighton match. It will be a terrifying show. I felt that it was bad for the players as well. It is about change and general improvement. You can lose a match, but if you learn from it, that is also important.
And he added, “Against Brighton, it is very important that we know how to defend the first line. If the three in front do not defend well, they will pass through you, if you defend against Brighton with seven players, you will not be lucky. It is about how to defend in general.
Meanwhile, Klopp confirmed that defender Nathaniel Phillips could leave Liverpool before the end of the transfer window next week.
The 25-year-old is fifth-choice centre-back and has made just five appearances this season, and the recall of youngster Rhys Williams this week from a loan spell at Blackpool could pave the way for his departure.
When asked if Phillips could leave, Klopp concluded: “It depends if there are offers, we have to be ready for almost everything, the 31st is deadline day and we’ll see what happens.
