Every word Jurgen Klopp has said about Liverpool’s summer transfer plans, Virgil van Dijk and injuries

Jurgen Klopp spoke to the media to preview Liverpool’s upcoming clash with Crystal Palace

Have a great Friday morning and welcome to our live coverage of Jurgen Klopp’s press conference as the Liverpool boss prepares to bring his side to the capital to take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Klopp will address the assembled media at 11.30am and will have to answer questions about the collapse of Liverpool’s clash against Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night, which saw the Reds lead 2-0 before scoring five goals.

The defeat brought a more positive outlook to the Premier League after Liverpool recorded back-to-back wins over Everton and Newcastle United to keep their first four prospects alive, but now they face another tough game at Selhurst Park against the Eagles.

Klopp is likely to provide an update on the fitness of Luis Diaz and Arthur Melo, particularly hoping the former isn’t too far from making a return to the matchday squad.

The speech is over

Jurgen Klopp has finished talking to the media.

The Reds boss has spoken at length about the changes that need to be made over the summer as the team struggles this season.

He also said changes must be made against Crystal Palace tomorrow as some players suffered knocks in the Real Madrid defeat. Ibrahima Konaté has been training for two days but it is not known if he will be in danger.

Bring Klopp back

“Imagine the same situation with another manager? ‘Bring Klopp back’. That’s why I signed a new contract. For me, it’s too long (before transfers). I don’t like to talk about it all the time, but I have to think about it all the time. I can’t change it.”

Klopp’s reconstruction

“It’s one of the reasons why I signed a new contract [to build a new team]. Last season wasn’t marked by big changes. If you want a big change, you can’t do much at this club, make changes and realize it no one wants it”. Leave.”

Difficult transfer window

“We’ve all been affected by things lately, but we’re not that stupid. Obviously this team has a great history and the way this club is run, without wasting money, our transfers always have to be okay.” This makes it difficult. I knew that.”

Real Madrid quality

“I don’t know many teams that would have used our mistakes like Real Madrid did. Or Vini Jr. or Benzema. Now we play against Palace.”

Making our plans

“We have to make our plans and we do, but it’s based on the way this club is run and it’s different from other clubs. So we’ll see if it works or if we have to adapt. Conversations with the staff, the owners and nothing else.”

“Bring Back Klopp”

“Can you imagine the same situation with another coach? “Bring Klopp back”. So I signed a new contract. It’s too long for me (before transfers). I don’t like talking about it all the time, but I have to think about it all the time. I can’t change it.”

Klopp’s conversion

“That’s one of the reasons why I signed a new contract [to build a new team]. Last season was not marked by big changes. If you want a big change, you can’t make a lot of changes at this club and find that no one wants to leave.”

more children

“Not all of them are children anymore. They know how to deal with it. It’s not their first setback. In a difficult season in the Premier League, we have to turn around and come around the corner. We have to chase everyone. They have to smell our breath.”

I try to help the players

“I try to help players as much as possible, but I can’t turn off social media for them! Or the media.”

Emotions after Real Madrid

“I see the players and tell them how I feel, but I don’t ask them individually. When things are going well, it’s about the players. When things aren’t going well, it’s about me. It’s my job to make sure they listen to me and believe me.” Myself.”

Klopp wants stability

“There are many good things, but we are not stable yet. We have to work on this stability.”
