Liverpool team 'incredibly fresh' after Klopp gives days off

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp could have forced his players to run extra wind sprints or sit through more film sessions in wake of anor loss.

Inste, he gave m a couple of days off.

“On Sunday after we spoke about everything I thought 100% it makes sense if we don’t see each or for two days, and it was helpful,” Klopp said Friday.

3-0 loss at Wolverhampton last Saturday left Liverpool in 10th place and still in search of its first Premier League win in 2023. Liverpool has one draw and three losses in its last four league games.

“In Germany this question would have come much earlier — how can you give m two days off when you are in situation you are in,” German manager said.

schedule also was favorable for time off — Liverpool doesn't play Everton until Monday night.

“I left on Sunday in an average mood, and came back with a good mood,” Klopp said. “I worked through ( break). I h a lot of phone calls and stuff like this, but anyway I was in a much better mood, a completely different mood to be honest, and that’s why it’s very helpful.”

Players “all look incredibly fresh" this week in training, he ded.

Midfielder Thiago Alcantara, however, looks doubtful for Merseyside derby at Anfield because of a hip problem.
