Jurgen Klopp: "Acquisition? The first concern is to stabilize the team" | Israel today

Ahead of the rematch in the FA Cup against Wolves (Tuesday, 9:45 p.m.), the Liverpool coach spoke about the possibility of adding players and the state of his team recently: "We have to go back to basics"


These days, Liverpool is in one of its most difficult periods since Jurgen Klopp was appointed coach about 7 years ago.

The Mighty Reds look bad, and the highlight came last Saturday when the Reds were defeated 3:0 in an away game against Brighton.

Tomorrow (Tuesday, 9:45 p.m.) the Mighty Reds will meet Wolves for a rematch in the FA Cup, where a win will set them up for a meeting with Brighton in the next round.

Before the game, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp held a meeting and talked about the situation of the team and the possibility that he would bring in a purchase. Klopp emphasized that it is more important for him to stabilize the team than to sign new players. "We look outside.

It's not that we're stubborn and think we'll keep these guys until 2050. If the solutions are out there, feasible and available, of course we'd buy players.

But we have an existing staff and it is not functioning but I can't blame everyone.

I have to take responsibility.

That's my first concern.

Klopp said Liverpool would field the strongest possible line-up against Wolves, but added there was a chance he would make changes due to workloads.

"Wolves are in a good period, they played well at Anfield, won the game at the weekend against West Ham. It will be difficult. Not all the players who played the last game are available now for various reasons, and we will make changes. We want to win the game. I could say to the players who lost at Brighton , 'You put us in this situation, let's see how you get us out'. But that wouldn't be taking responsibility, I can't do that."

Klopp on signings: "We look outside — it's not that we think we will just be with these boys until 2050. It's always about what we can do" 🔴 #LFC



"If solutions for us were outside and doable... of course we would bring in players to help — but we have an existing squad as well".

Regarding his team's weak defensive play, he added: "We need to be compact, we need to return to defending wisely. In too many moments, the field seems too big in our games. This is the way we defend. We need to get back to the basics, that's what we need to do."
