The Liverpool manager gave a mobilizing speech on the eve of the match against Linz ASK in the Europa League (Thursday, 9 p.m.).
“I would have liked to win this match against Toulouse. I would have liked to play better. But we didn’t do it.” Liverpool’s setback in Toulouse two weeks ago (2-3) is still fresh in people’s minds on the banks of the Mersey. Despite the picture in the standings, Liverpool FC, first in their group, intends to set the record straight against an opponent well within their reach, the Austrians from Linz.
“We had the international break, a lot happened. I’m not sure I want to talk about it again. This is how. So we want to win tomorrow night (THURSDAY), then in Belgium. But if we don’t win, the match in Belgium will take place in a very intense period, perhaps even more difficult. So yes, it’s really about performing well tomorrow night and going all out,” warned Klopp.
“The most intense period of the entire season”
A very clear message for the Reds regaining confidence after the promising draw won against Manchester City last weekend (1-1). “We are at the start of the most intense period of the entire season. We are going to play every Thursday and Sunday, it’s very hard. What we need to do tomorrow is create an atmosphere. We have to make sure that it is a European evening, really going all the way. I’m going to field a team with fresh players who want to go there, have fun and fight for a result. If Anfield want to do the same, it will be very helpful. We need to show that Anfield is a wonderful place, but also a scary place for visitors. »
