Liverpool’s manager Juergen Klopp stated that his team will try their best to qualify for the Europa League in order to make the most of a disappointing season. They will face Tottenham Hotspur in a Premier League match at home on Sunday.
Liverpool is currently in the seventh position, seven points behind Manchester United who is in fourth place. They have played one more game and it is unlikely that they will qualify for the Champions League.
When asked if they would be satisfied with playing in the Europa League, Klopp said that they will accept whatever they are given. While they didn’t plan for it at the beginning of the season, they have learned that they should be adaptable.
The speaker aims to play football at the highest level and emphasizes the importance of staying focused on their upcoming game against Tottenham. They also acknowledge the significance of the next few weeks in preparing for the upcoming season.
Liverpool’s performance has been inconsistent this season, but they managed to win 2-1 against West Ham United in an away game on Wednesday. This victory marks their first three consecutive league wins of the year.
Klopp believes it’s too soon to talk about consistency, but he is currently satisfied with the team’s performances. He is pleased with what he has seen during games and it makes him happy as a coach.
We need to concentrate on our own performance, but we cannot disregard the skills of our opponents. We must always strive to improve. Although I am content with our current state, we must remain dedicated to achieving the ultimate goal of winning the game.
Liverpool will play against Tottenham on Sunday, who have not won in their last three games and were humiliated with a 6-1 loss to Newcastle United. Both teams are competing for a spot in the European tournament.
Klopp expressed caution about the danger of the counter-attack posed by the fifth-placed London club, even though they have been struggling lately. He cited their comeback in a recent game against Manchester United as an example.
Klopp warned that small errors can lead to significant issues.
The speaker doesn’t have any information about Tottenham, but acknowledges that they performed exceptionally well in their last game. They are expecting Tottenham to be at their best and recognizes them as the top team when it comes to counter-attacking in Europe.
The German stated that Naby Keita is expected to resume training on Friday, while Ibrahima Konate is fit and can be chosen for the team.
