Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed concerns about fixture congestion problems ahead of the team’s clash with Tottenham. Following disappointing results against West Ham and Everton in a short span of time, Klopp acknowledged that the lack of time between fixtures could have impacted the outcomes, raising questions about the intensity of the Premier League schedule. He also highlighted the potential implications of English teams not reaching the latter stages of European competitions due to overworked players.
Klopp emphasized the need for adjustments to alleviate the strain on players. During a press conference, Klopp mentioned a conversation with TNT Sports, jokingly stating that he would never watch their show again and challenging the notion that they pay teams to play football. He playfully speculated about working as a pundit after his tenure at Liverpool, before making light of the possibility of facing legal repercussions for his remarks about TNT Sports. As Klopp’s time at Liverpool nears its end, he was asked if he would consider a role in football administration to address fixture congestion issues.
In response, he humorously dismissed the idea, joking about the prospect of becoming the FIFA president.
