Jurgen Klopp understands Liverpool enthusiasts’ frustrations with unity on Thursday.
You will see the lack of flags at the Kop for the Europa League match against Atalanta. Fans are protesting after ticket prices for 2024/25 increased by 2 percent.
Asked if this made it seem that the famous European nightlife at Anfield might not be the same, the Liverpool manager replied: “Not that the flags are there. As long as there are other people there, everything will be fine. “
“I understand the concerns. From my point of view, it is a complicated issue. We need to make the stadium available to everyone. We are a self-sustaining club. As long as I’m here, we’ll be able to inform each and every one of us. Everybody, every pound we win goes straight to football.
“The club is doing a lot of smart things, but I understand where the fans are coming from. I’m pretty sure they’ll find a solution. But what we want to make sure is that nothing comes between us and the fans: between the two big whistles there only has to be Liverpool. That’s what I’m asking.
Klopp insisted he did not yet know whether England star Trent Alexander-Arnold, goalkeeper Alisson Becker and Portugal striker Diogo Jota would return from injury tomorrow.
He said: “Yesterday they looked really smart [in training] and now we’re going to see how we get them involved. Obviously we want it. But we want them in the most productive conditions imaginable. It’s always a challenge to bring the guys back, but their quality makes it easier. We will be using them in the coming days and weeks.
“I haven’t made a resolution for tomorrow yet. “
Klopp said Stefan Bajcetic has returned to education, but he will most likely return to the Under-21s given that he has been out for so long.
The Europa League is the only trophy that has eluded Klopp, but he insisted: “[Winning it] is not public for me. We lost to the winners of the series [Sevilla in 2016].
“But it’s the beginning of a lot of other things. From the moment we saw the opportunity to participate in the Europa League, we were desperate to do it. And because we’re Liverpool, we need to win the competition. “
