DBasia.news – Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp stated that Liverpool need to be ready for the match against Manchester City in the Premier League this weekend.
The Reds just got a 1-0 defeat in Napoli during the qualification of the Champions League. The only goal from Lorenzo Insigne at 90′ gave the victory for the host.
This weekend, Liverpool must meet The Citizens. Both teams are the leader of the Premier League temporary standing with 19 points, two points higher than Chelsea.
Klopp warned his squad to be prepared in playing against City, whom he called the difficult team.
“It is a tough game, absolutely. It is absolutely intense since the last international break – two times against Chelsea, come to Napoli, and now the Sunday match against Man City,” Klopp said.
“We cannot change that so we have to make sure we are ready. We don’t have to think about intensity.”
“We have three days to recover and then we will face Man City. It would’ve been difficult any way at any time of the season, it is always difficult, but let’s have a look how the players are after the game and then we will prepare. Then we have our crowd at our backs.”
