Liverpool Statements
Prior to their first match of the year, Jürgen Klopp spoke to the media: "General defense obviously, that's what it is. Yes, that's it. So everyone accepts how we have to work. It's not that the team last year didn't do that , it's just that after all these years... it's always a problem if you lose too many balls at times when you don't expect it. How many goals did we concede, 16? Probably eight or nine of them were after we lost the ball and They got a little bit exposed, so that's what it is, and that obviously last year was an even bigger problem. Because it's really hard to prepare for these situations. You try to dominate a game and the moment you lose it, you're in different positions and so That can sometimes catch you."
"We do better now. Recently we have intensified the counterpressing, which also helps. That means that everyone reacts better: the first line, the midfield line and obviously also in the last line. If you feel that the midfield and the three forwards or how many are actually involved in counterpressing, you can have a higher line because then you're in challenges and they can't jump balls right behind you and all that kind of stuff. So there's a lot of things. Obviously we work a lot on it, but "We did it last year too. It's just the effort everyone puts in."
"ewcastle did incredibly well and, okay, it's unfortunate that you have that amount of injuries, but on top of that, you play international football, something they didn't play 50 times in a row anymore. So the whole system has to get used to that, I think." I'm talking about the players' system. It's completely different: if you have a normal training week or if you just have recovery and then you have to play a big, big, big game again. The Premier League games are all important, the games of the Champions League are all important. So that's us a little bit. Surely it was a little problem, but they still do very well and in all the games they lost they had very good runs."
