Jurgen Klopp has urged his players to “fight the world” as he insisted that Liverpool’s slump has not left him concerned.
Liverpool endured their worst sequence of results in nearly two years during the festive period, with two points out of nine possible, and just one goal, opening the title race and giving their rivals the feeling that the champions are vulnerable.
This has been a season like no other for Klopp, who is currently without his three first-choice central defenders due to injury. The German has refused to categorically rule out bringing in a replacement, but provided a detailed explanation of why it will not be an easy task.
Klopp is in constant talks with Fenway Sports Group, Liverpool’s owners, about the challenges they have to overcome in the second half of the season, but has been more concerned with talking to his team and fostering a siege mentality.
He is aware that there has been little sympathy for Liverpool in recent months, and that expectations have not wavered despite the lack of key personnel, and he wants players to hold onto that sentiment to spark a resurgence.
“In good times, everyone thinks our owners are really generous,” Klopp said. “In bad times, everyone thinks it’s too tight, but it’s not. They are absolutely concerned about the club, the success of the club and they understand how we have it.
So they see exactly the same things that I see about the need (to bring in) players and things like this. Not that I’m saying, “By the way, a middle half would be great!” and they say, “Wow! A central half! Really why? “Everything is clear. Everything is on the table. We work on that, you can imagine.
But it is the situation. On top of that, we have January and it’s not the easiest transfer window. A fan might look at it and think “they need a center midfielder and the other team has a good one, so bring it along.” My job is really to make the players we have here as strong as possible.
‘Would one half of the center help and solve all our problems? Maybe for a game or two, but he could also get injured. We do not know. We have to work together and we have done it so far and it is the most difficult situation you can imagine: three senior center halves and all are injured. ‘
Klopp, however, does not stop at the situation and said: ‘The club tries what they can, but if they can’t, then we have to do what we have done so far, make ourselves stronger as a group, stay more united and fight against it. world, if you want. Fight against circumstances.
Fight back with everything you have and make it the most special season ever. So now when everyone thinks “now they have no chance”. We played without three central halves and yet no one told us “that’s your excuse for not winning football games.” No, nobody said that.
“ But it changed everything for us, playing with different center halves constantly, it changed the protection of the game, the whole configuration is different. Okay, we are Liverpool and we have to win a football game. That is what we try all the time. We dealt with the situation as best we can. ‘
