For Jürgen Klopp, the start-up difficulties at FC Bayern are mainly related to the departure of Robert Lewandowski to FC Barcelona. Meanwhile, the Liverpool coach is certain about Sadio Mané.
It’s clear why Munich recently had problems, explained Klopp sky: “When you lose Robert Lewandowski, he just put one in regularly. You can’t forget that. When that’s gone, you have to get used to this situation again. And you don’t have to pretend that Bayern are the last would have played the stars from the sky every game day for ten years.”
The 55-year-old is convinced that those responsible at Bayern expected a bumpy start to the season. “Again: You had the fixed point in world football at the top: Robert Lewandowski. He scored goals from opportunities that weren’t any. In the end you win 4-0 because Lewy made it 1-0 from a moment when there weren’t any There was a chance to score. That’s just forgotten, “emphasized the Reds coach.
Up until the 4-0 win against Bayer Leverkusen on Friday evening, the Munich team had not won in four Bundesliga games in a row. Mané, who moved to the Isar from Liverpool, also had a lull recently.
Klopp believes the striker will call up his qualities. “He always does that. Not every week, no one does that. But extremely often. Sadio will call because he’s world class,” said the native of Stuttgart.
However, he would not miss the 30-year-old Senegalese, said the former BVB trainer: “Missing sounds like I still want him here. I think it’s really okay that Sadio just wanted to do something different. Absolutely . I totally respect that. How it went was great. I’m glad he’s where he wanted to be.”
Liverpool? Klopp: “Of course there is pressure”
Similar to Bayern, Liverpool got off to a poor start to the season. Only two of their first six Premier League games have been won.
“We’re working flat out on a successful season and the start wasn’t good. So of course there’s pressure. But nobody’s extremely dissatisfied. We didn’t get what we wanted and needed. That’s my responsibility and nobody else’s “Now are the most intense times of all time with 13 games in six weeks. Every game is a final for us. We can decide where we want to go for the rest of the season and what we can play for,” said Klopp.
Numerous failures are also responsible for the difficulties: “It doesn’t interest anyone, but we also had a real misery with injuries. And that at the beginning of the season, where you find your way around and distribute parts of the game. We couldn’t do that at all. We had to get the boys straight away chase through. Whoever came back played again straight away. That doesn’t help. But it looks a bit better now.”
