“I enjoy the situation we are in, but there are a lot of games. I really want to win tomorrow, but if we lose you (journalists) sit here and tell me that the title race is over and I don’t have enough capacity for everyone. “, Said the technician when questioned about the accounts he does to win the title. “All I do is prepare for West Ham, then Inter, then Brighton. They are all so difficult.”
He added: “I’m hardly smart enough to focus on one game. We’re not in the worst of times, but we have a lot of challenges ahead of us. We hope to be ready to play West Ham.” The Klopp team is barely 6 points away from Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. Not to mention that they have a pending match against United.
Klopp indicated that the casualties persist to face the Premier League this weekend. Thiago Alcantara is not available, Joel Matip is sick; Jones and Keita are in doubt, while Firmino will train with the group until Sunday.

The technician also gave clues about his future with the ‘Reds’. The German made his position clear. “The plan remains the same, nothing has really changed and if I decide to leave in 2024 it will not be because of the quality of the squad. Everything we do will be long-term. This club must be even better when I am no longer here. No matter how “.
