Yesterday, the Liverpool players played a drew against Chelsea at “Stamford Bridge” with a score of 0:0, and after the match Reds manager Jürgen Klopp has a lot of reasons to worry because the number four position that leads to the next season’s Champions League is almost unattainable.
Klopp started the derby against Chelsea without Salah, Arnold, Robertson, and Gakpo, who remained on the bench for reserve players, and the reason for this was a bad performance in the previous round against Manchester City when the Reds took the lead, and then a great turnaround by the Citizens and victory followed. with a score of 4:1.
“Some people needed a rest”, was Jurgen Klopp’s explanation when asked why he made so many changes for this match.
The manager of Liverpool survived the big “coaching cut” in the Premier League only because of his old glory and the trust he has with the owner of the Reds.
When asked if he had ever had a season like this, the German answered with a laugh:
“No, thank God. I wouldn’t be the coach of Liverpool if I had a couple of seasons like this. But we have to get through it. That’s life. You have to fight to change your luck”.
Although he made a lot of changes in the team, he is satisfied with some things he saw in this match.
“Of course, I did not expect that the team with six changes would play the best match of the season. In fact, I saw two teams without confidence. But there were also good things. We fought and we have to continue like that. Sometimes even small steps are important”, concluded Klopp.
After Manchester City and Chelsea, the difficult schedule for Liverpool in the Premier League continues, so in the next round they will host the first-placed Arsenal team.
