As Liverpool made his way through Europe to triumph in the 2018 Champions League final in Kiev, while seeking to secure a position in the next edition of the tournament by completing among the four most sensitive, Jurgen Klopp would break with arrangements nationally and continentally. long-term progress.
Manchester City, Guardiola’s tireless leadership, sought to break the 100-point mark and redefine the demands to win the league. To get close to them, the Merseysiders would have to eliminate their weaknesses but also maximize the edges, which occupied Klopp’s mind. .
Liverpool are said to have started the 2018-19 crusade after wasting the European Cup final against Real Madrid in devastating circumstances, while having to close the gap for 25 issues against City.
During the pre-season, there was confidence that it could be reduced due to a number of factors: the club had strengthened in the movement market that summer, especially with the additions of Alisson and Fabinho, but they had also strengthened off the court.
Pep Lijnders joined Liverpool as Klopp’s assistant for six months at the helm of NEC Nijmegen, replacing Zeljko Buvac, who is a thorny and anti-changer. Chief physio Lee Nobes slipped away from the protective champions in November 2018 after serving them for 11 years. has been appointed to the new position of Director of Rehabilitation and Medical Performance.
As he had done in his early months at Merseyside, Klopp studied what the team lacked and corrected it. Mona Nemmer and Andreas Kornmayer were recruited at the time to lead nutrition and packaging, respectively, and the purpose of building a world. the class operation at Melwood was still at stake.
The coach’s studies led him to realize that Liverpool did not have 40-50 replays on that game-consistent average in his favor, so he added Thomas Gronnemark to replace that.
This pre-season, Liverpool drew much attention to their paintings on stage, never repeating routines. They were also based on two key elements: “win in shape, you have a chance to win everything” and “if you need to pass fast, in the attack. If you need to go far, to the defense. “
Liverpool finished 2018-19 with a heady point in the League, but then crowned the european champion, winning their first Klopp-era trophy against Tottenham in Madrid. The back that should not be learned is that their name rivals were not untouchable and they were now winners.
When the team reported for the start of 2019-2020, it was driven by the ultimate touchdown of a huge piece of silver and had the mindset, as Andy Robertson says, of “showing everyone that we can win the league, and we can go back and get the most productive man city this time and not be them. “
Klopp liked the attitude and intensity he had noticed in the education sessions. For team determination, he asked Sebastian Steudtner, one of the world’s most productive big wave surfers, to teach the organization that there were no restrictions on what they could achieve. An undeniable exercise in holding your breath underwater for as long as possible, cutting off all intellectual tension and restrictions in doing so, was helpful.
Liverpool knew it had to be almost the best to overthrow City and win by all necessary means replaced by winning in style. The Reds played better football last season, but they’ve probably been relentless to finish a 30-year wait for the name in 2019. 20.
As you approach a new term, Klopp now has a completely different challenge: he no longer looks up and has to locate the edges to close a gap, his lot will have to hold one.
This after having already achieved what the club was looking for to the fullest: to do it in a ridiculously angry way. The hunters’ platoon was chopped and we decided to react. City is unlikely to step back 18 into the pace, while Chelsea will be aware that pressure is exerted after their mega-spending.
Manchester United, like Frank Lampard’s accusations, were 33 issues and will seek to cure some of their market shortages.
Liverpool added only left-back Kostas Tsimikas (11. 75 million pounds) as Robertson’s canopy to the list before the new campaign. They are short in the middle of the back and can do so with a sheet for the three fronts, which is a stylistic fit. .
There is significant interest in Thiago from Bayern Munich. Klopp has a multitude of features in midfield, but the 29-year-old would be offering a different size and new skills, which can help his evolution. to the trainer’s brain and only sought to sanction a move if that branch is cut off first, but there may be a replacement in that approach. Georginio Wijnaldum’s search through Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman adds an attractive dynamic to this Liverpool equation would preferably have players in his books and cut marginal numbers.
Liverpool have already given up two voices in the locker room and experienced heads in Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren.
Klopp has been willing to be patient on the market, noting that “it remains well before October 6. We’ll handle our stage like we’ve done. I think the philosophy of this club is pretty clear. We’ll see how much we can, ” or how much we want, spend and all that sort of thing.
Given that more than 90 issues are now perceived to be what it takes to be crowned Champions of England and that no team does so for three consecutive seasons, how can Liverpool change course?
Keeping your defensive record, which you only stuttered once the league ended and human nature began, will be decisive.
Klopp has focused on internal improvement. Expect greater contributions from Naby Keita and Takumi Minamino, the notable pre-season artists, as well as the upcoming progression in Curtis Jones’ component. He is convinced that the tireless motivation that propelled his “mind-minded monsters” to Liverpool’s name in three decades will have disappeared as they look back on their backs.
In the shortest and most intense maximum season of all time, the German believes that established Liverpool has a merit because there is no desire to integrate several new faces and spend time looking for cohesion. , knowing that the warring parts will continue to check to limit the influence of the backs.
Klopp looks at his organization and sees a world-class unit with a world-class attitude. His beginning 11 features the one he considers the most productive goalkeeper in the party, the most productive central defender, an explosive and well-balanced striker 3, a tactically cunning midfield and two of the largest attack guns on the defensive flank.
But beyond that, he made it clear that without the full team and established criteria for education, the ‘yellow’ that gives the XI a torrid moment in pre-match sessions, as well as the collective culture of excellence in the place, Liverpool. He would have no Champions of Europe, England and the World.
It’s not over and it’s not over, so his rhetoric was that the team would attack this season and not protect what he’s got. The purpose is now on Liverpool’s back, but that’s precisely what I was looking for and looking for.
And so it all starts again: the desire to be near-perfect begins with Leeds United on the road at Anfield, where Klopp’s side have suffered a league defeat in 3 full seasons.
