when his captain’s remarks, Virgil van Dijk acknowledged he wasn’t sure whether he would play for Liverpool when Jurgen Klopp left, but the German has now tried to comfort supporters.
Following his unexpected decision to leave Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp is adamant that there won’t be a mass exodus of well-known players.
When Virgil van Dijk acknowledged he had no idea if he would play in Merseyside’s post-Klopp era, that alarmed many. And there is increasing doubt about Klopp’s star players’ futures as the contracts of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah also expire in 18 months.
However, Klopp dismissed the notion that his title-winning team may disintegrate following his exit. “These players love to be here, don’t forget that,” stated the Liverpool manager. The contract debate will take place in the background.
“Things require time. Remain calm. It’s alright. This is a spot the boys adore. I am positive about that. They don’t just have one foot out of the door. They are curious about a small amount of perspective, but it exists and will occur, particularly in the background.
“No one asked a week ago when no one knew about my situation. There is no need for concern. I have no doubts that things will work out because this club is stable. I strongly advise you to maintain your composure in this area. Enough time remains to complete everything.
After returning from a brief injury layoff, Alexander-Arnold is expected to start today against Chelsea. Klopp has also confirmed that Alexis Mac Allister is available after sitting out Sunday’s FA Cup victory over Norwich.
In addition, the Liverpool manager anticipates a challenging encounter against Mauricio Pohcettino’s team, which has won four of its last five Premier League games. “Life is very uncomfortable at Chelsea because they have an incredible amount of players and an incredible amount of injuries,” Klopp remarked. They can play their preferred midfield now, and their preferred forward is on the pitch.
They couldn’t align themselves that way for a very long time. It’s an amazing football team led by a fantastic manager. They have made significant progress in the last several weeks, though you cannot see it in the table just yet. They should take significant action, but I would like it to begin after our game.
