Jurgen Klopp has agreed that there is a direct correlation between crazy Premier League scores and empty stadiums.
Klopp’s Liverpool were on the wrong side of one of the league’s shocking scores to date: the Reverse 7-2 to Aston Villa last time.
Manchester United were also beaten 6-1 at home to Spurs, while Leicester stunned Man City in September.
When asked if the games that were played behind closed doors had an impact on players who did not feel the crowd and their minds could wander. Klopp concurred.
He said, “It seems that is the reason why nothing else changed. Only the sidelines and no people in the stadium.
“It makes sense for us to see it that way, but I don’t know 100 percent.
“I see it that way. The crowd sharpens your focus. That’s clear, but it’s no excuse.
“It is the same for both teams. One conceded seven and the other conceded two. “
“There is still an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
“We know it’s our job to get in the mood. The crowd can’t help. “
Badly acclaimed
When asked about Mo Salah’s form before Saturday’s Merseyside derby, Klopp said: “I am very impressed. He scored two goals against Villa, but would like to score in other games when we win.
“Overall, it has been very good so far. To complete. Involved, a suitable choice and still a sharp finish. “
The German manager also paid tribute to Salah’s work ethic after his five goals in four appearances.
“All of these players are a mixture of natural ability and work,” Klopp added. “Without practice you have no chance. Like I said, Mo’s skill set is outstanding, but without his attitude he wouldn’t be the player he is. So it’s a mixed bag. “
Big Picture Project
Klopp believes Project Big Picture was crafted with the right intentions and is glad it sparked a debate in football.
The plan was devised by John W Henry, a leading figure in the Reds’ owners, Fenway Sports Group, and his Manchester United counterparts, but received little attention from most of his Premier League teammates this week when they voted against it. the proposal.
That has led to criticism of Liverpool and United, but Klopp believes it has provided a key starting point.
“Many times in life there has to be a crisis, not necessarily a virus, but a crisis, to start talking and this time I am very happy that people are now talking about that,” he said.
“It’s not like I was involved, but I can say that all the people I know who were involved are concerned about football. Yes, also from Liverpool, but from football in general, that was his intention.
“There are things we can improve and I really think that if you always have to improve them now before you see the real problems in the future, that’s what these people tried to do.
“I think when the process continues and people talk about it, it is very positive.”
