Klopp: “The most difficult time in world football is coming for Liverpool”

Liverpool defeated LASK 4-0 on matchday five of the Europa League on Thursday evening (30/11) and made history by winning their first ten home games of the season by at least two goals, becoming only the second English team to do so since Wolves managed it in 1938-39.

However, the Reds now face difficult times, on the one hand because they will play three league games in six days, but also because they take part in 8 games in 23 days across all competitions and are faced with absence problems such as those of Alisson and Diogo Zota.

“We have to make it difficult for them against Fulham on Sunday. Marco Silva is a top manager, he is doing a great job in a strong league.”

“It’s a really good team,” Jürgen Klopp emphasized today in his statements about Sunday’s game at Anfield and significantly added:

“For Liverpool we are facing the most difficult time in world football. We have to divide the time between different players. I count them all.”

Ahead of Kelleher’s upcoming Premier League debut this year, replacing Alisson, who will be sidelined for at least two weeks, the German coach praised the 25-year-old Irishman’s qualities:

“We see him every day in training, he is excellent. Maybe we don’t mention his name enough. From the first day I was here, the goalkeeping coach told me he was a young boy from the city who was going to succeed.”

We didn’t like the situation with Alisson’s injury, but now Kelleher will get some games and I trust him.”
