Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, said that he would like another club from Liverpool to watch in elite company next season as well.
“Matches like this have nothing to do with the position on the table. This is a great game and I sincerely hope that Everton will stay in the Premier League because the Merseyside derby must always be on the schedule. It’s always tense for me here, sometimes too much. We played a lot of derbies and I wouldn’t miss any of them, they were all great “, says Klopp.
“I like the intensity of football, the physical aspect of the game, but within the rules, let’s stick to it. It is important not to go beyond that, not to exaggerate, as in the good old days. We suffered because of those injuries. I would like everything to be within normal limits and according to the rules, because even after that we play matches “, added Klopp.
The match at Anfield is scheduled for tomorrow at 5:30 p.m.
