Jurgen Klopp Talks about Liverpool vs Porto Champions League Match

DBasia.news –  Liverpool’s consistency is one of the recipes for their success in fighting for two titles: the Premier League and the Champions League. At present, Liverpool are at the top of the standings with 82 points.

The same thing happened when Mohamed Salah and his mates competed in Europe, successfully throwing down the German giants, Bayern Munich, the Reds met relatively easy opponents in the quarter-finals, namely representatives of Portugal, FC Porto.

The lottery results obtained by Liverpool are indeed considered profitable, as the other teams are met with more severe opponents, say Manchester United who meet Barcelona or Manchester City who challenge one of their eternal rivals, Tottenham Hotspur.

Ahead of the crucial match, Jurgen Klopp as the manager immediately spoke up on the matter and confirmed that his team did not want to underestimate Sergio Conceicao’s squad. Even the 51-year-old man also ensured that Liverpool would still appear ambitious and greedy.

“Liverpool are a very ambitious team. After the match against Southampton, the players will soon recover and then prepare to fight FC Porto in the Champions League,” Klopp said as reported by the Guardian.

“We will do everything (to be able to win), especially playing at Anfield and this is the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The match will be very big,” added the Stuttgart-born manager.

The conditions of the Reds are quite good ahead of the match, besides being in a positive momentum, they also have a good record when facing Iker Casillas and mates. In the 2017/18 season, Liverpool also beat Porto in the last 16 with a landslide score of 5-0.

Closing the conversation, Klopp also guarantees his foster children will perform optimally as they are ambitious to repatriate the most prestigious trophy between these European clubs to Anfield.

“Liverpool are not like Real Madrid who have won the Champions League in three consecutive seasons. We really like this competition and will do everything we can to win it,” Klopp explained..
