Klopp: “Tottenham is a difficult test for us, Postecoglou is a top coach”

Liverpool have made an excellent start to this year’s Premier League with 5 wins and 1 draw, but if they want to stay in the hunt for the top, Manchester City (the only team with the absolute number of wins, 6 in the same number) asked of the games) they must leave north London unscathed on Saturday afternoon.

This year, the equally strong Tottenham awaits them, with Angelos Postecoglou having created a strong and strong team despite the departure of Harry Kane and Jürgen Klopp, which he publicly acknowledged without hesitation in his press conference on Friday (29/09).

“It’s a really strong test. We haven’t played an easy game so far, the away games against Newcastle and Chelsea were difficult. Tottenham are doing well too and Angelos (sr. Postecoglou) seems to be at the top.”

I can’t wait to meet him. I’m pretty sure everyone who played at Chelsea realized what a good coach he is. I think Tottenham wanted to play attacking football and in a year where Kane is leaving the club he is doing very well.

They are a team that fascinates you when you watch them and the game between us will be a real test for both teams.”The German emphasized first, before continuing: “Tottenham isn’t playing in Europe at all this year, neither is Chelsea.”

These are two world-class teams who have a whole week to prepare for their games and that is a huge advantage for them. So getting into the Champions League this year is a huge task because there are these huge and restful beasts

Both teams play football and that’s good news because if you played for Tottenham in the last few years you had one of the best counter-attacking teams in the world against you. Now we have a team in front of us that understands possession of the ball and knows how to create it.

I know that Postecoglou is a top coach and they have invested enough time to cause us problems. Hopefully we’re pretty well prepared for that.”

As for the competition, Klopp expressed his belief that Trent Alexander-Arnold will return to full fitness after his injury, and when asked about FSG’s deal to sell a percentage of their shares at a high price, he said:

“If someone comes and helps us, that’s definitely a good thing. It’s not like we have to have a £200 million budget for the team. What is certain is that the money that comes in will be used sensibly.”
