Klopp bingung keputusan UEFA

Stadium Olimpik di Baku yang menjadi hos final Liga Eropah antara Chelsea dan Arsenal pada 29 Mei ini

PENGURUS Liverpool, Juergen Klopp menyokong kritikan peminat Chelsea dan Arsenal mengenai pemilihan Baku bagi final Liga Europa hujung bulan ini dan berkata, badan induk bola sepak Eropah, UEFA perlu menangani cara mereka memilih bandar raya tuan rumah.
Peminat dua kelab bermusuh London itu berdepan perjalanan lebih 8,000km untuk menghadiri pertembungan dua pasukan Liga Perdana Inggeris di ibu negara Azerbaijan pada 29 Mei ini.
Ketika penyokong Liverpool dan Tottenham Hotspur melahirkan kemarahan mengenai tambang penerbangan dan bilik hotel yang melambung bagi final Liga Juara-Juara di Madrid, Klopp berkata, penyokong Chelsea dan Arsenal lebih teruk lagi.
“Saya fikir dengan Madrid jelas ia terlalu mahal dan sukar dipercayai, tapi pergi ke Baku bagi final Liga Europa, ia benar-benar kelakar,” kata Klopp awal pagi tadi, soalan yang terpesong daripada potensi pasukannya memenangi kejuaraan domestik menentang Wolverhampton Wanderers di Anfield, Ahad ini.
“Saya fikir mereka yang membuat keputusan ini, saya tidak tahu apa yang mereka makan ketika bersarapan.
“Tahun lalu kami pergi ke Kiev (final Liga Juara-Juara) satu bandar raya yang cantik tapi kelihatannya pasukan dari Russia atau Ukraine tidak akan terbabit.”
Dengan ketiadaan penerbangan terus ke Baku dari London, penyokong berdepan perjalanan hingga 14 jam bergantung kepada penerbangan sambungan.

“Keputusan ini mesti lebih masuk akal,” kata Klopp. “Ia seperti tidak bertanggungjawab, saya tidak tahu bagaimana mereka melakukannya dan saya bersimpati terhadap penyokong.”
Berapa ramai penyokong boleh menghadiri perlawanan itu turut dipersoalkan dengan setiap kelab ditawarkan sekitar 6,000 tiket.
Kelab penyokong Chelsea’s Supporters’ Trust menganggap peruntukan itu “tidak mencukupi” manakala ahli lembaga pengarah kelab Tim Rolls memberitahu BBC perjalanannya turut membabitkan bas selama tujuh jam dari Tbilisi.

UCL-Liverpool sukar diramal - KLOPP | BARCA apa dah jadi?

Liverpool melakukan kebangkitan menakjubkan apabila membenam cabaran Barcelona 4-0 di Anfield sekali gus mara ke pentas final UCL dengan agregat 4-3 awal pagi semalam

LIVERPOOL - Pengurus Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp melabelkan pasukannya sebagai gergasi apabila berjaya merentap ego Barcelona untuk mencatatkan kemenangan 4-3 secara agregat pada aksi separuh akhir Liga Juara-Juara di Anfield awal pagi semalam.
Kebangkitan luar biasa The Reds yang me­raih kemenangan 4-0 di laman sendiri berjaya membawa mereka ke pentas final musim ini meskipun kecundang 0-3 ketika beraksi di Camp Nou minggu lalu untuk aksi pertama.

Keputusan berkenaan menyaksikan Liverpool mara ke petas final kali kedua berturut-turut apabila Divock Origi dan Georginio Wijnaldum wmasing-masing menyumbangkan dua gol seterusnya berjaya menunjukkan jalan keluar buat skuad kendalian Ernesto Valverde.
Dalam aksi berkenaan, ketiadaan Mohamed Salah dan Roberto Firmino sama sekali tidak membuatkan The Reds tempang apabila Origi dan Wijnaldum yang sebelumnya lebih banyak menghabiskan masa di bangku simpanan menjadi nadi utama pasukan untuk memberikan sejarah hitam kedua berturut-turut Barcelona di pentas UCL.
“Jika anda mahukan, saya berani bersumpah untuk mengatakan semua pemain yang beraksi malam ini memang layak dilabelkan sebagai sangat luar biasa.
“Suasana di Anfield sememangnya sangat menakjubkan dan istimewa kerana perkara seperti ini belum pernah saya lihat sebelum ini.
“Apabila pemain menunjukkan persembahan sedemikian rupa, ia memang menjadi perkara yang sa­ngat baik serta jelas menunjukkan pelbagai kemungkinan boleh berlaku dalam bola sepak.
“Kami perlu lebih ­serius dan luar biasa ­serta mahu menjadi salah satu pasukan yang sukar untuk diramal,” kata Klopp. – Agensi

Jurgen Klopps spending means Liverpool must win something this season

  • Liverpool have once again strengthened their squad across the summer window
  • Jurgen Klopp has brought in a new goalkeeper and added to his midfield ranks
  • That investment brings pressure though and the Reds must win a trophy soon
  • Klopp has played in three finals during his Liverpool reign and lost all of them 
Jurgen Klopp simply has to win something this year after spending a huge amount of money

It did not take too long for Jurgen Klopp to admit it when the question was posed last month. Adam Lallana concurred. Liverpool, with all the money spent, now have to win trophies.
‘It is the next step and we need to be ready for that,’ Klopp said. ‘I cannot give guarantees here but I understand if people think that.’
Of course there are no guarantees. They could not have foreseen Mo Salah trudging off in the Champions League final or the catastrophic performance of Loris Karius against Real Madrid.
But Liverpool now have to prepare themselves for expectations to soar through the roof. Klopp simply has to win something this year after losing three finals – the Champions League, Europa League and League Cup – during his three years as manager.
The German has been backed to the hilt in the transfer market by Fenway Sports Group, with a splurge of £250million taking in the most expensive centre half and goalkeeper in world football.
Allison and Virgil van Dijk give the Reds a base they simply have not had for years and, while the spending is offset by the big-money departure of Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona, it now demands silverware
They are now lavishing the sort of finance that the Manchester clubs possess and with that comes additional, and warranted, pressure. Liverpool’s success should now be held against City and United because of the resources ploughed into the team.
Klopp brought in the most expensive defender in world football in Virgil van Dijk in January

Klopp knows that and nobody at Anfield has shied away from the facts. ‘It’s a really exciting time,’ Lallana said. ‘I’m delighted to be at a top club like Liverpool that are going to be challenging for trophies again and I’m looking forward to playing for England again.
‘For my club, I just want to take the next step now. We’ve been in a few finals that we haven’t been victorious in and that needs to change.
Fabinho forms just one part of the huge midfield investment at Anfield alongside Naby Keita

Even if Salah failed to hit the heights of his debut season, ending with 44 goals, he is sure to chip in with a decent number. Those around him, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, need to do their fair share too. Xherdan Shaqiri has the sort of X-Factor from the bench that can change games.
But it is in midfield where the added power and gusto should come. Naby Keita, a £53m signing from Red Bull Leipzig, has taken Steven Gerrard's iconic No 8 shirt and is expected to be the one charged with joining in further up the pitch.
Fabinho is the sort of capture that will offer a soothing influence in the midfield three, the sort of ball player Liverpool have not seen in quite some time. They have all the tools. Anything less than silverware this season must go down as a failure on Merseyside.

Harga Van Dijk ‘tidak sihat’


VAN DIJK menjadi pemain pertahanan termahal dunia selepas Liverpool memecahkan rekod pembelian bintang Belanda itu daripada Southampton Rabu lalu.

LIVERPOOL – Pengurus Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp menyifatkan pembelian mencecah nilai £75 juta (RM410 juta) untuk mendapatkan Virgil Van Dijk sebagai ‘tidak sihat’, namun menjelaskan The Reds hanya mengikut serta menyesuaikan diri dengan harga pasaran pemain.
Van Dijk, 26, sah menyertai Liverpool dari Southampton berkuat kuasa 1 Januari selepas kedua-dua kelab Liga Perdana England itu bersetuju dengan memecah rekod perpindahan dunia pemain pertahanan.
Klopp sebelum ini mempersoalkan Manchester United membeli Paul Pogba dengan nilai £89 juta (RM487 juta) pada tahun lalu berkata, Liverpool tidak memiliki banyak pilihan selepas pasaran pemain dilihat mula berubah selepas Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) membeli Neymar daripada Barcelona dengan yuran perpindahan termahal dunia bernilai £198 juta (RM1.084 ­bilion).
“Yuran perpindahan £75 juta bagus untuk Southampton. Mereka juga mahu menguatkan pasukan.
“Adakah kamu fikir, apabila mereka pergi ke kelab, jika pemain itu bukan ejen bebas, adakah kelab ini sanggup menerima bidaan sebanyak £5 juta (RM27 juta) bagi mengintai pengganti?
“Saya akui harganya ‘tidak sihat’ tetapi itu realiti dalam pasaran dan kami harus menyesuaikan diri dengan baik,” kata Klopp.
Harga Van Dijk melonjak selepas menandatangani kontrak baharu pada Mei tahun lalu dan melanjutkan kontraknya sehingga 2022. – AGENSI

UCL : Liverpool vs Maribor 7-0 | The REDS berpesta gol!



  • Roberto Firmino got the Reds off the mark inside three minutes, tapping home a Mohamed Salah assist 
  • Liverpool doubled their lead soon after as Philippe Coutinho scored his fourth consecutive away goal
  • Winger Salah opened his body to slot the ball around the goalkeeper on 19 minutes for goal No three
  • Alberto Moreno then put on an assist as the ball was bundled over the line by Salah for his second goal
  • Firmino confirmed his second of the game as the second half got underway, heading home from close range
  • Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain grabbed his first Liverpool goal before Trent Alexander-Arnold completed the win
They plundered seven unanswered goals in Maribor, smashing their previous away best scoreline of 5-0 (achieved three times — in 1964, 1976 and 2001) to leave Klopp purring about the quality of a display that will do wonders for confidence.

'Wow,' said Klopp. 'The history of this wonderful club can be like a backpack. Now we get to write our own history. It will be difficult to beat that (in the future). To win 7-0 is quite rare. We did unbelievably well.'

The success came thanks to the irresistible play of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho, who shared the first five goals, before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Trent Alexander-Arnold completed the demolition.

Liverpool's front three terrorised Maribor's defenders. Their speed, skill and subtlety wrapped up the points inside the first 20 minutes and the club's first away win in the Champions League since 2009.

Klopp sudah tawar hati ‘buru’ Keita

KLOPP sudah berputus asa untuk mendapatkan khidmat Keita selepas Leipzig kekal dengan pendirian enggan melepaskan pemain tengah itu.

LIVERPOOL – Liverpool akhirnya menamatkan usaha mereka untuk menandatangani Naby Keita selepas akur dengan keengganan RB Leipzig melepaskan pemain tengah itu musim ini.
Pengurus The Reds, Jurgen Klopp, 50, memandang tinggi kemampuan Keita, 22, sehingga sanggup membida bintang dalam pembi­kinan tersebut dengan rekod pembelian termahal dalam sejarah pasukan dari Merseyside itu.

Keinginan tinggi Klopp untuk membawa Keita ke saingan Liga Perdana England bermula dengan tawaran pertama Liverpool bernilai £57 juta (RM320.6 juta) awal bulan ini, namun ditolak oleh Leipzig.
Pengendali dari Stuttgart, Jerman itu tidak berputus asa dengan menawarkan tawaran kedua dianggarkan bernilai £66 juta (RM371.2 juta).
Ia merupakan harga yang lebih tinggi daripada nilai The Reds ketika membeli Mohamed Salah dari AS Roma baru-baru ini.
Bagaimanapun, Leipzig sekali lagi menolak tawaran tersebut dengan menjelaskan keengganan mereka untuk melepaskan Keita biarpun pemain skuad antarabangsa Guinea itu terdesak untuk meninggalkan pasukan Jerman tersebut.
Satu cara sahaja membolehkan Liverpool menandatangani Keita sebelum jendela perpindahan pemain ditutup pada 1 September depan iaitu Leipzig membuat ‘pusingan U’ dengan melepaskan pemain yang sudah tiada hati untuk menyarung jersi mereka.
Ia ekoran insiden perbalahan antara Keita dengan rakan sepasukannya, Diego Demme dalam sesi latihan Leipzig pada Isnin lepas.
Selain itu, Pengarah Sukan Leipzig, Ralf Ragnick juga didakwa menuduh penduduk kampung Keita di Guinea menjadi ‘dalang utama’ menghasut pemain itu untuk berhijrah menyertai Liverpool.
Bagaimanapun, Klopp sudah mengibarkan bendera putih terhadap usahanya ‘meman­cing’ Keita selagi Leipzig kekal dengan pendirian mereka. – Agensi

Jurgen Klopp forgets to shake hands with Antonio Conte amid celebrations after Liverpool beat Chelsea

The Reds boss ran onto the pitch to congratulate his players after their victory, in turn snubbing Chelsea manager Conte

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp appeared to forget to shake hands with Antonio Conte after his side's win over Chelsea.
The Reds picked up an impressive 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge courtesy of goals from Dejan Lovren and Jordan Henderson.

Lovren put the visitors in front, turning home Philippe Coutinho's cross, before Henderson curled an unstoppable strike past Thibaut Courtois.
Diego Costa dragged Chelsea back into it but Liverpool held on to claim an excellent three points.
At the final whistle, Klopp ran onto the pitch to congratulate his players - seemingly forgetting to address his opponent.


Conte appeared to laugh off the incident as he trudged down the Stamford Bridge tunnel.

Klopp meanwhile admitted his team "played like hell" as their strong start continued.
"Our build-up was brilliant in the first half. I was really happy with the style of play and the confidence we had.”
“I like good football. We have to have options for everything. When we have the ball, playing; when they have the ball, defending."
