Klopp gives a shock to Liverpool supporters
The German coach of the Liverpool team, Jürgen Klopp, hinted today that he does not expect the club to conclude deals in the current winter transfer market despite the injuries it suffers from, due to the financial repercussions of the emerging Corona virus pandemic.
This statement is shocking for the club's supporters, who are desperate for new deals after the effective absence in the team.
Dutch defenders Vergil Van Dyck and Joe Gomes are expected to be absent until the end of the season, while the absence of currently injured Cameroonian Joel Matip poses a dilemma for Klopp at the center of the defense.
Brazilian midfielder Fabinho has vacated this position in most of the England champions' matches this season, while Klopp had to seek the help of youngsters Rice Williams and Nat Phillips.
Despite playing games behind closed doors to limit the spread of Covid-19 since the resumption of last season, which led to financial losses due to the lack of revenue from the sale of tickets, but the Red Team spent 70 million pounds on the summer transfer market to obtain the services of Spaniard Thiago Alcantara, Portuguese Diogo Gota and the Greek Costantius Tsimicas, who suffered or are still suffering from injuries.
Klopp said on the sidelines of the match against Aston Villa tomorrow in the England Cup competitions, "I cannot say that we will definitely not do it (conclude deals), but it is unlikely that it will happen because of the situation in the world. The world is not going through its best conditions, so it will not be different for For a football club?
The German led Liverpool to the Champions League title in 2019 before granting him in 2020 his first title in the English boom in 30 years.
However, the financial spending that was expected after this success did not materialize especially with the increasing expectations for the whole season behind closed doors.
"This club, with its owners, will always be responsible for the things we do," Klopp added.
"If the world were in a normal condition, everything would be fine," he added. "We won the league, won the Champions League, the club is in the best possible condition, then you have three main players in the center of defense all injured - in a situation like this would we have done something?" Usually?"
"Yes, of course, but we are not in this situation, so I do not know if anything will happen or not," he said.
Liverpool are still at the top of the league but failed to win their last three matches in the Premier League for the first time since 2018, putting their position in danger.
As rivals Manchester United, level on points, will be able to stand alone in the lead in the event that it beats Burnley in a postponed league match on Tuesday, to enter Anfield in the upcoming confrontation with Liverpool on the 17th of this month, while he is three points ahead of him.
