Live bar on September 10, Beijing time on Sunday night in the fourth round of the Premier League, Liverpool will go to the away to challenge Leeds United. In a press conference ahead of the match, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp talked about the team's preparations, while also answering some questions of great concern to fans and the media.
Brazilian players about the squad of the team
Due to injury, Firmino was unable to play in this game, which was a very tricky situation. Let's not forget that the players wanted to represent Brazil in these games and the club wanted them to play for their country, but that didn't happen.
About the ban on Brazilian players in the squad
The real punishment is the players, who love football and can't play. The club has also been punished, which is not a good thing.
Players love to play and they're trying to do things like that. We didn't decide which players not to report to the national team, we are still in the midst of COVID-19. We must remain vigilant until the outbreak is over. We test three times a week, which means we'll be quarantined if anything positive comes along.
Brazil played a match at 1:30 a.m. British time, and they won three consecutive games but still have complaints. Before the last international match day, I met Wenger, who showed me the future plan for the World Cup (biennial). It was at that time that I received a message from our players who wrote: "Our players will not be exempt from participating in the national team".
About Keita
Everyone knows what happened in Guinea (there was a coup d'état in Guinea) and Nabi-Keita is in good shape here at the moment, but it's not good. We didn't affect them, just brought him back as soon as possible.
About Van Dijk
Van Dijk went into training today and he's doing well. Van Dijk has only experienced one injury and I saw what happened to him in the Dutch national team and then contacted the assistant, who began to be unsure of Van Dijk's injury. Still, Van Dijk gave a thumbs up after the game and everything was fine.
About Leeds United
Everyone said leeds United's home ambience was very good and I was already very much looking forward to it. We have players like Milner who can tell that.
Regarding FIFA's plan to change the World Cup to biennial
If the World Cup were to be held every two years, then 100% of the European Championship would also be changed to a biennial, which means that the top players have to participate in the big game every summer, maybe they will only have three weeks off, which is the situation we are going to face.
About this summer's transfer window
We've been working well in the transfer window this summer, we've brought in Cornat, sold and loaned out some players, and those on loan may be able to get more playing time.
About Arnold's position on the pitch
If you watch liverpool, you'll see that Arnold's position has changed when possible. At the moment, we don't have to let him play in midfield. It's a shame we're talking about things like this in 2021 where good players can take any position on the pitch. Alexander-Arnold can play as a right winger, he can play any position. He can play in midfield and is more like a No. 6 player than a No. 8.
Why let the best right-back in the world play in midfield? I can't understand it. Some people think Arnold can play more of an influence in midfield, but we did our best to use him well.
