After Liverpool’s 4-1 loss to Naples in the Champions League, Jürgen Klopp said the Reds had to “reinvent themselves”. He does not see his coaching job in danger.
Liverpool FC had to swallow a bitter bankruptcy in Naples. Coach Jürgen Klopp then said that the Reds had to “reinvent themselves”. Despite the botched start to the season, he doesn’t see his job in danger.
Things are not going well for Liverpool FC this season. The crashing 1: 4 bankruptcy on Wednesday evening at SSC Naples at the start of the Champions League clearly underpinned this impression.
“It looks like we’re going to have to reinvent ourselves,” explained Reds coach Jürgen Klopp afterwards. “There are a lot of things missing. The funny part is that we have to do this in the middle of a Premier League season and a Champions League season,” Klopp continued.
“We’re not playing well enough, that’s clear, that’s obvious and everyone can see it,” was his sobering conclusion. His team needs to improve on “just about everything”.
Klopp sees no Liverpool DNA
Regarding the defeat in Napoli, he said: “It’s not that difficult to explain when you’ve seen the game. Napoli played a really good game and we didn’t. That’s the first explanation. We weren’t compact either defensively or offensively. Until Thiago I can’t remember a single counter-pressing situation when I was on the pitch. We were just too wide.”
Liverpool will welcome the Wolves next Saturday (4 p.m.). Klopp had a rather bleak outlook for the weekend: “We’re playing Wolves in three days. When they saw the game, they probably couldn’t stop laughing. They probably thought this was the perfect moment [um gegen Liverpool zu spielen]. I would say it’s the perfect moment.”
Klopp isn’t worried about his job
However, he is currently not worried about his coaching job. On Wednesday, fellow coach Thomas Tuchel was surprisingly kicked out at Chelsea by the new owners. “Ours are more patient and expect me to solve the problems, not someone else. That’s how they see it. The day they change their minds, they might tell me…” he compared his situation to theirs the blues
At the moment he “doesn’t really” believe that he is on the brink. “But who knows,” Klopp added. The mood at the Reds has pretty much reached zero. A change of coach should actually not be an issue at this point.
