The Liverpool team was very warm in reception and training during its participation in the FIFA Club World Cup in the Qatari capital, Doha.
The Local Organizing Committee of the Club World Cup added a distinctive touch by allocating a bus that looks exactly like the team bus in Britain.
Football fans in general and Liverpool fans in particular live daily celebrations that started on Sunday with a warm welcome for the team, especially its star Mohamed Salah, at the St. Regis Hotel in West Bay, a suburb of the capital, Doha, upon his arrival from the airport directly.
One of the Qatari fans during the arrival of the Liverpool mission to Doha asked about Origi and said to him: |
The #QatarReds welcome Liverpool FC to Doha! #LFC #YNWA |
The Qatar fans association in Doha, "Qatar Reds", topped the scene when it received the team upon their arrival at the hotel, and it was also a race to attend its first training at the Qatar University stadium on Monday evening.

The association, which includes about 450 members of both sexes, was the only one allowed by Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp to attend close-up training, and some of them were allowed to photograph as well, despite security measures around the team.

And Al-Jazeera Net learned that the team was supposed to train on two periods at ten thirty in the morning and five and a half in the evening, but Klopp contented with evening training so that players do not get tired of arriving on Sunday evening.
@Alissonbecker, this hurts! 🤣🤣 |
All the players participated in the training except for Virgil Van Dyck, who did not announce the reason for his absence, although it was likely that the absence was to give him more relief as a result of suffering from fatigue or a slight muscle strain.

The training was limited to medium-intensity training, in which Klopp focused on muscle stretching, flexibility and ball training until the players got rid of the effort they made in their official match last Saturday against Watford in the 17th round of the Premier League, which ended in favor of the Reds with two wonderful goals without returning Salah's record.
Enthusiasm ... 🔝🙌 pic.twitter.com/GGE65ierxo - Liverpool FC (@LFC_Arabic) December 16, 2019 |
The St. Regis Hotel is one of the most prominent tourist attractions in Doha, due to its luxury and having 12 diversified restaurants and an Olympic swimming pool, in addition to its charming views of the West Bay and the distinctive Pearl Island.
It is noteworthy that Liverpool will face Mexico's Monterrey tomorrow Wednesday at the Khalifa Stadium, one of the 2022 World Cup stadiums in Qatar, in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup.
