After the victory against Sheffield United, Jürgen Klopp also carried out the introduction to Sunday’s big game against Manchester United. Among other things, the work against the hate songs and what he learned from the losing match against the rivals in the FA Cup were discussed.
Klopp on the work against the hate songs:
– It is very important. I don’t really hear them during the games, but I was told after the last game that it had happened. Of course, it’s not good at all. Generally speaking, it is good that we educate our young people in certain areas: respect, understanding and all that.
– They are two of the world’s biggest clubs. Show some class in situations like this. Don’t sing it, show the class. Let’s have a fight out on the pitch, let’s play football. Of course you can be happy if we lose, there is no problem with that, but show some class. That is my wish.
If perfection is required in the title race:
– That’s how it is in the Premier League. When we became champions it was decided quite early, it has happened to City too, but otherwise it has been even. Looks like it’s evening out again. If it’s an even race, the best situation is to be part of it, which we are. It is good.
– Let’s keep fighting. The next game is a huge game, as they all are. I looked at the schedule, someone said we had the best schedule. I can’t understand it. Maybe I’m too negative, but it’s tough! Good opponent, but we are ready. We want to join the fight.
On what he learned from the latest loss:
– That the tenth interview is not as good as the ninth that you do after the match! Hmm.. we already talked about how the match looked, they started best then we took over. We were good, but we didn’t take our chances. The match went to extra time, we won’t have that now. It was too much for us that day, we couldn’t control it anymore and made mistakes. United turned. United are a good team, at home.
– I would like to say that we should play as we did between minutes 15 and 70, but football is not that simple. We have to find a way to cause problems for United. They will try to do the exact same thing. We need to play a very good match if we want to get something from there.
If he will miss these big games:
– It’s not about that. What kind of manager would I have been if I had said that I will miss the games against United and City but not the other games. No. No problem. I will miss all the games, but during my life I have been without everything else so now we will see how I handle being without football.
