Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp admitted to the difficulty of joining Lionel Messi in light of the interest in him, as he talked about Arsenal’s confrontation tomorrow, Saturday, in the Charity Shield and the club’s position in the current summer transfer market.
Klopp responded to “Is he interested in including Messi on his team’s list, saying:” Yes, who does not want Messi in his team?
He explained during the press conference in preparation for facing Arsenal in the Charity Shield match (English Super Cup), saying: “But there is no chance, the numbers are not for us at all, but frankly he is a good player.”
He continued, “It is clear that this will help Manchester City and make it difficult to win them, for the English Premier League it would be a big deal for the competition.”
“He hasn’t played in another league before, the ball is different here, I would like to see that, and I’m not sure I will,” he added.
This comes at a time when the English newspaper “Times” revealed Manchester City’s move to include Messi. (See the details)
The German spoke about facing Arsenal in tomorrow’s meeting, saying: “Do I want to play a good match after preparing two weeks? No, but we know about it for some time now. We are working hard and we have seen some players suffering physically in front of Salzburg amicably. We are preparing for a whole season and it will be one of the most difficult.”
“We have not gone through friendlies, we have to test matches, it is rare for you to have an ideal time to prepare for a match. We have four weeks in which international players will stop.”
“I would be surprised if we played our best game this season tomorrow. It is not a friendly match, it is a suitable match against Arsenal.”
“We have already bought a player, which is Costas, the youngsters are approaching and following up well. I don’t know what will happen. There is a long time until we get to October 5th. We will deal with our situation as we always did. We will see how much we can or want to spend,” he said about the team’s summer deals.
And about the situation of the return of the injured, “Henderson looks good, Oxlide Chamberlain and Shakeri too. Alexander Arnold is very close but we have to make a decision about participating tomorrow. Virgil Van Dyck is fine.”
وأشاد بـ Ryan Brewster, the young Reds striker, scored a friendly against Salzburg a few days ago “Ryan Brewster looks really promising. He’s still a boy. Number 9 helps a lot, we have to think about how to give him that. But there’s no reason to rush anything. He’ll definitely be on the team tomorrow.”
Complete the position Georginio Wijnaldum, who was associated with leaving for Liverpool towards Barcelona: “His contract is extended, we don’t talk about it. Everything is between us and the player. Everything is good at the moment. Wijnaldum looked good in the pre-season and played some good seasons with us. That’s all I can say.”
Liverpool will start its season by meeting Arsenal in the Charity Shield match, and in the first round of the English Premier League will host the defending champion Leeds United, the newly returned show.
