In the third round of the first group matches in the Champions League group stage for the current season 2023, German coach Jurgen Klopp disclosed the most recent preparations of his Liverpool team before their match against Glasgow Rangers tomorrow, Tuesday evening.
In the post-match press conference, Klopp stated, “The Liverpool-Rangers match is special. Other than that, I can’t say much about the relationship of the two clubs. I know a few things. But other than that, other than the fact that it is a Champions League match ultimately, it is good to not meet the same teams again.
Rangers are a wonderful squad, a solid organisation, and they had a fantastic season in the Euroleague, so we need to get ready for them, said Klopp. We anticipate a fierce and genuine battle.
“”In individual sports, you can battle and wrestle yourself to give your best,” the Liverpool coach continued. “But in team sports, like football, you have to do it collectively, and this is more difficult.
Klopp went on, “Nunez is still adjusting; he returned from the international break with some bruises in the connective thigh muscle, so I had to pay attention to the medical staff when they said that, yes, his absence due to being kicked off the team and the team’s lacklustre performance also did not help.
”
Nunez is comfortable with us, and it is helpful in our current circumstances that he is not frightened and doesn’t appear to be, the German coach stated. “A new player cannot shine directly, this happens from time to time.
If there was another way to defend, we would have done it. We also need to be more organised and patient. Klopp continued, “We have to do the same right things again. We can’t start a completely new approach.
The issue was there was an international break and most of the players were absent and we did not play against Chelsea or the Wolves, so we fell behind with two goals from Brighton, according to Klopp. However, we must be patient and keep doing the same thing, he added.
We were able to make arrangements, but Brighton were highly skilled, and we had no idea what they would do, making it challenging to plan for them.
Klopp explained that “the problem is that we receive similar goals, we have a bold style of defense, but when we miss the timing, there are spaces, and in the past we closed them through pressure and intensity, but if you do not do that, you will be hit. ”
And the Reds coach continued his speech, “We have to take steps in the right path, and when you do that, confidence returns in an individual sport. You have to fight on your own, but in football we have to do it together.
If we miss the timing, there are spaces, which in the past we closed with pressure and intensity, but if you do not do that, you will be struck, according to Klopp. “The problem is that we receive comparable goals, we have a bold style of defence, but when we miss the timing, there are spaces.”
“We have to move forward in the right direction, and when you achieve that, confidence returns in an individual sport,” the Reds coach concluded. You must fight alone, but in football we must work together.
Premier League. Klopp: The Rangers are a well-run team. Nunez is still getting used to the group.
