Klopp: Salah and Mane have achieved great things and are very happy with the signing of Díaz

Live bar on February 4, Beijing time on Sunday night FA Cup round 4 match, Liverpool will sit at Anfield to meet Cardiff City. In a press conference ahead of the match, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp talked about the team's preparations, while also answering some questions of great concern to fans and the media.

About Salah and Mane reaching the final of the Africa Cup of Nations

Salah and Mane's reaching the final of the Africa Cup of Nations was a great achievement, and Nabi Keita also experienced a very brilliant African Cup of Nations. For our lads, they've been very successful so far and it's really exciting.

About players who are loaned out

It's good for Neiko Williams and Nat Phillips, and especially for Nat Phillips. We'd love to keep them in the team, Phillips is really incredible, he's very reliable and he's done well on the training ground.

About Luis Díaz

If we immediately see him playing at his best, it's really a very strange situation. Louis Díaz needs time to adapt, but that doesn't mean it's four or five months. I haven't seen him on the training ground yet, so we still have to wait some time. I am very happy with this signing.

We love everything about Luis Díaz and I follow him for a while and he's a really outstanding player. He has both speed and toughness, and he may be a bit late, but I'm very happy that we can get him now.

About Fabio Carvalho

I don't know if we're going to quote Fabio Carvalho, wait and see! We're still interested in Fabio-Carvalho, and it's crazy if we're not. Obviously, the initiative in this deal is not in our hands. We made an offer when the transfer window was about to close, but we couldn't reach an agreement.

About the FA Cup

The FA Cup is obviously a very important event. Since I've been in charge of Liverpool, we haven't been very successful in the FA Cup, but we're ambitious.

About Elliott's physical condition

We were so impressed with Elliott's recovery that he did almost everything we asked him to do. Against Cardiff City, we haven't decided whether to start or come off the bench, but he will definitely be in the squad for this game.

About Thiago and Nabi-Keita

Thiago had trained with us, but unfortunately his chest was infected, so he had to sit on the sidelines. I hope he can continue to train today, but we still need to see how to use him on Sunday. Nabi Keita is in good shape and Origi has participated in all the team training sessions yesterday.

On whether Salah and Mane will be able to catch up with next Tuesday's game against Leicester City

I think they can catch up with this game, but we still have to wait. By next Tuesday or wednesday at the latest, the African Cup of Nations champions will return to the club, and the runner-up will be earlier, and I have to talk to them. After playing a few games, they maintained a certain rhythm of the game.

About the club's transfer strategy

Our transfer strategy is to sign the right player at the right time. In terms of team position and contract, we will pay attention to some situations. We've never been short of forward-looking, and that's what we're doing right now.
