This summer preparation is not going as planned in Liverpool. After two consecutive victories against Sunderland (4-2) and Wrexham (1-0), the Reds suffered two losses against Leeds (2-4), then AS Monaco (2-3), this Sunday. While they were leading 2-0, Andoni Iraola’s flock were caught behind, before ASM took the lead in the final minutes of regulation time. Post-match at the microphone of LFC TVthe Spanish technician judged the performance of his team, believing that it was not yet at the current expected level. “ It was a lot like the game we played against Leeds. We had a good first half, including 30 minutes of very good quality. At the moment, we probably don’t have much more to offer, in terms of the level required to play this way. »
“ They deserved to turn things around… We won the first two pre-season games, but in the last two we failed to maintain the desired level throughout the match. As soon as we made a few changes, the players started to get tired and we couldn’t maintain that level. So we have work to do », Said the former Bournemouth coach. To complete their preparation, the Reds will play a final friendly match against Como on Sunday (1 p.m.). They will then launch their 2026/2027 Premier League season at St-James’ Park, against Newcastle, on August 23 (5:30 p.m.).
