Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and goalkeeper Alisson Becker at a press conference ahead of the Europa League match against Atalanta.
Liverpool face the difficult task of overcoming a three-goal deficit in the Europa League quarter-final against Atalanta on Thursday night.
But ahead of the game, manager Jurgen Klopp and in-form goalkeeper Alisson Becker will face the media at a 7pm press conference. tonight (UK time). Ian Doyle will be in Bergamo and Paul Gorst will return to Liverpool to bring some fresh updates.
The Reds suffered a shock 3-0 defeat in the first leg at Anfield last Thursday. Former West Ham United striker Gianluca Scamacca scored twice for Atalanta, the merit of which means Liverpool will want to complete one, if the club’s biggest comeback in Europe’s illustrious competition is achieved. history, if they want to qualify for the semi-finals of the Europa League.
The Reds’ dismal week continued on Sunday, when they lost 1-0 at home to Crystal Palace in the Premier League. But the bright spot for Klopp is that he has an almost fully compatible squad to choose from.
The final weeks of Jurgen Klopp’s excellent nine years at Liverpool are almost over.
And to celebrate the end of one of the most important managerial reigns of all time at Anfield, ECHO has produced a standalone 64-page eBook that pays tribute to the charismatic boss of the Reds. Order your now by clicking here.
In fact, I was there a while ago. Toodle’s Pip from Bergamo.
We played 4 years ago against Atalanta and they played like that, and the result here was different. Marking is not the problem, we didn’t do it well and they did it well. We want to do better. We play their game.
Tomorrow the game will be more complicated because they may not want to score anything. I don’t know what they’re going to do. It’s not easy when you’re 3-0 up. We found out when we won 5-0 here and lost 2-0 at home. We’ll see who handles the scenario better. If Atalanta qualify, they deserve it, otherwise something special has happened.
If we need to win, it’s better not to concede, that’s for sure. That’s a big component of the game plan.
Conor Bradley had an injury like Ryan Gravenberch, he has some problems so he can come back in the first week of May, he stretched his ligaments too much and he’s not here.
Yes, I’ve written it before! I don’t regularly prepare for that. What I tell the guys, I’ll think about it tomorrow. But in fact, none of that sort of thing at a press conference. I say that if we fail, let us fail in the most charming way, and I repeat. Many enthusiasts thought it was all over (after the first leg), but now fewer people think it’s already decided. We’re here, that’s bien. Voyons. Si we win, the players will find a reason to say what I said, but if we lose, no one will know what I said.
What’s similar? The result, definitely. The performance, not really, we lost 3-0 in Barcelona and others didn’t know how and now we lost 3-0 at home and now we’re away, it’s a huge difference.
We’re here and we’re going to try to win the game, that’s all. That’s what we’ll do. We’ll see if that’s possible. We had a lot of smart moments, but they deserved to win and played a smart game. Let’s start with much greater functionality and check how to win the game and see how. There’s plenty of time left at the end.
Transfer completed.
We went from there. That has to be our purpose for the rest of the season, next season and the next season. Keeping a blank slate is the foundation of a successful team, we’ve done that in the future and the trophies we’ve won have been forged defensively. It’s not just up to the defenders but the whole team, we have to protect in combination and fight to win the ball back, close spaces, win challenges, block shots, prevent crosses, make difficult saves, we have to do it. as a team. Go back and get the blank sheets. This is the basis for us, not just for everything else.
It was actually hard for me. I’m a guy that when I’m at home, in case of injury or just resting, I don’t like to watch football because I’m very excited and I need to play. I need to play each and every game, but I know it wasn’t imaginable to me. I tried to be as productive as possible during recovery and spent a lot of time in bed going to therapy and a lot of time in the gym to be strong when I returned. be in good shape and maybe better than before. That’s how I feel. It lasted 8 weeks, doing double sessions every day, sometimes 3 sessions, it was really hard for me. Watching the tag team fight for titles, I really want to be a part of that fight. Thank God I’m here and on the hunt for the rest of the season.
Two bad results. We can’t make the mistake of making the stage bigger than it is now. Of course, losing 3-0 at home is something we can’t settle for as LFC players. We want our performance, but if it was more specific, what we want to do more is we want to keep the sheet of paper back and write down the opportunities that we have, the transparent opportunities that we have going into the pass. I say that because I have a lot of confidence in my forwards and defenders. And I know the quality of our team. If we attack and protect as a team, we can start winning games again.
I expected Atapanta to be like this every time I moved to Italy until now, Atalanta has been a difficult challenge to solve. They’re a very physical team, it’s been a challenging game to play against. Play 11-on-11 in the entire infield and when you’re playing against a team that does that, you have to make sure you’re willing to work hard and run. If you don’t, there’s no point in going out and playing. They did a remarkable job in the last game, you can see that they prepared very well and as far as we are concerned, we also had a poor performance.
As I’ve said before, we’ve done wonderful things in the past, wonderful achievements that can be seen in the history of football: groups have had bad results, turned around and qualified for the next level in competitions like this, in Europe. Competitions. Of course, we have to do it ourselves, but in my opinion it’s a really complicated situation, the way the opponent played at home showed their quality and how complicated the game will be tomorrow. We come here with the goal of improving. Our functionality compared to the last game and trying to play better as a team, is a team that we didn’t make in the last game. Try to avoid some mistakes and try to do better the things we want to do better. Then we’ll see the result.
Good night. Not so much, I don’t think so, regardless of the outcome. We played the second leg away from home, that game is the second leg at home. Different players. Another type of competition. There are more differences than similarities. It’s a completely different scenario and we also have to deal with it in a different way.
Alisson Becker is with us. We’re in a position to rock out with this press conference. . .
I took a tour of the Gewiss stadium here, which is not completely renovated. I can see that it is a very long walk.
The interior looks sleek and is rarely far from finished. However, it seems that one of the purposes of a purpose will not be fully operational. Especially since there are no seats in one part of it.
Hello here in Italy where the weather is nice the night you just spent at 7:30 pm.
There’s still a lot of buzz in the city, but that will actually replace tomorrow.
Liverpool trained yesterday at the AXA youth academy but have now flown to Bergamo for the second leg of the Europa League against Atalatna.
Jurgen Klopp and Alisson Becker will be with us at 7pm UK time.
Okay, talk, let’s cut to the chase.
Atalanta manager Gian Pero Gasperini is not ruling Liverpool out despite the 3-0 deficit in the Europa League quarter-finals between the two teams.
“We are pleased to play a match of this price in front of our fans, while the stadium finally takes shape,” Gasperini said. “We know it will be one of the most important games in our history, if not the vital maximum.
“But these are things that are said on the eve of the game, and then the time comes when you have to know how to isolate yourself. We know how difficult it is, for us it’s the same team, despite our win. “in the first leg. Tomorrow we start 0-0, our skill will have to not think about the result of the first leg, that will have to be our goal.
“I expect Liverpool to be as productive as possible, with a team that comes here to take every opportunity, we’re going to have to put in a wonderful performance to get a result. “
No, the candy bar doesn’t. . . It would be nice though.
But there were no additional injury considerations for Jurgen Klopp on Wednesday as his Liverpool players were tested in an open consultation ahead of Thursday’s Europa League clash at Atalanta.
The Reds’ players warmed up in front of the media at the club’s AXA centre, and Klopp is now in as close to his team’s fitness as he has been for most of the season.

Who’s playing? Who’s rested?
Conor Bradley injured his ankle in Sunday’s loss to Crystal Palace, so Trent Alexander-Arnold could start for the first time since returning from injury. And it’s time for Diogo Jota to get back in shape, on the starting line. -up.
After the 3-0 defeat in the first leg, Reds legend Jamie Carragher tweeted: “Horrible result and functionality from Liverpool. The comfort of being beaten so heavily is that Jürgen is expected to play a full reinforcement string in the second leg and pass everyone. “We’re ready for the first leg of the league!”
At the Grand National on Saturday, he corrected his comments by adding: “When I said ‘second string,’ I wasn’t talking about the kids. I meant, you know, give Trent [Alexander-Arnold] a game, give Diogo Jota a game. play, Curtis Jones, the goalkeeper (Alisson Becker) is playing.
“When you have to play 4 away games in 10 days, because they have to go to Atalanta on Thursday and then Fulham on Sunday, the idea is to play against your most productive team and try to give it your all, and that may not be. It will suffice, because it is becoming difficult.
“Then you go to Fulham and you’re not at your best and it’s not good at Fulham, then you fall in the league. The name of the Premier League is much bigger than the Europa League. We all need to win both. However, we have put ourselves in a difficult position and we are still in a wonderful position in the league.
“We are in a better position in the league than in the Europa League, so for me I think the league is too important, especially if we win against Crystal Palace. Fulham are much bigger than Atalanta and they even get it. “”.
A lot has changed since then, with the Reds and Arsenal losing on Sunday to hand the initiative of the Premier League name to Manchester City. But with only two issues separating the teams, Jurgen Klopp finds himself in a variety dilemma. Back on track in the league at Fulham on Sunday?Or go full throttle at Atalanta?
The minutes and hours count down to Liverpool’s Europa League second leg in Bergamo.
What would it be like if the Reds closed that deficit?
At this stage of the season, with the hope of winning the Premier League hanging in the balance, is a win and a smart performance the most important thing?
