Jürgen Klopp sees his FC Liverpool in the English title fight and has once again expressed strong criticism of the game plan. It was an absurdity that his team at FC Southampton had to play again on Tuesday (8:45 p.m.), he scolded just three days after the triumph in the FA Cup.
"Why isn't the FA Cup final the last game of the season? In Germany it is," said Klopp, "that would have helped with the celebrations." He could therefore not start with the same in Southampton, i.e. his best eleven, that would be against Chelsea after 120 minutes. We are not allowed to play crazy ".
Liverpool plays his 61st competitive game this season. "When did Southampton had his last game? Ten or twelve days ago? Southampton is absolutely fresh," said Klopp. He announced that defense chief Virgil van Dijk, like Fabinho, was not available that the use of Mohamed Salah was questionable.
Klopp would rather have seen it if the penultimate league game had only been played on Wednesday. But this was not possible because of the final in the Europa League between Eintracht Frankfurt and the Glasgow Rangers.
With a win, Liverpool could move to defending champion Manchester City before the season finale against Wolverhampton. Klopp still no longer believes in his second championship with the Reds. He "does not expect" to "give points" in the last duel with Aston Villa, "he said.
With the victories in Ligapokal and Fa Cup, it is already "a good season," said Klopp, adding: "It would be great if we could also win the Champions League, but we play against the most experienced team on the planet, We are not the big favorite. " On May 28th, St. Denis will go against Real Madrid.
