Champions League
The German coach added, in statements during the introductory press conference against Liverpool and his counterpart Atletico Madrid:
“Thiago and Fabinho have trained completely normally and are competing, which is very good and useful. Naby Keita will be out for a while. I hope the players will be back soon.”
The Reds coach continued:
“Nabi Keita will be out for a while due to injury, he has a hamstring injury so he will be out for a while.”
The German coach added:
“It will be important to qualify, but we usually don’t have to talk about that because we usually have a final on the last match day, hopefully it won’t happen this year.”
Champions League
Jurgen Klopp continued:
“We want to celebrate with our fans tomorrow at Anfield.”
Jürgen added:
“5-0 against United doesn’t mean we’re perfect and 2-2 against Brighton doesn’t mean we have huge problems. The best way to defend against Brighton is to keep the ball and that was my problem.”
Klopp continued:
“Brighton deserved that point, but we have to defend better in general, we are working on that and it is better if we do it tomorrow night because Atlético is a very good football team.”
UEFA Champions League
About future goals, Klopp said: “We’re not perfect, I know that and I knew that before – we have to defend our territories better – that’s quite clear.”
Klopp continued:
“We were very happy to qualify for the Champions League to spend European nights like this on our soil.”
And about Diego Simeone? Klopp said: I respect him a lot.. We don’t know each other, but I respect what he does at Atletico. It’s totally exceptional.. Not shaking hands with him? If I knew he didn’t like it, I wouldn’t even try to do it to him.”
