Liverpool FC – Jürgen Klopp after being eliminated from the FA Cup: “Continue to work 100 percent”

Jürgen Klopp made every effort to gain something good from the bitter end with Liverpool FC in the FA Cup. “Of course I’m not overjoyed with this performance, but the only thing that really happened is that we lost to a good team,” said the German team manager after the 1-2 (1-1) win at Brighton & Hove Albion in the round of the best 32.

In the league, Klopp and his team had lost 3-0 in Brighton two weeks earlier. When they met again in the FA Cup, Liverpool played “much, much better”. “There are steps forward,” he said. It wasn’t easy to accept that it ended up being defeated again, “but it’s just the situation we’re in.”

He now wants to build on the increase in performance, but “of course we have to improve,” said Klopp, listing the “body language of some players” and “defensive positioning”.

“There is no other way – and you know that as well as I do – than to fight your way through,” Klopp explained in an interview with journalists: “You never hear a manager in a situation like this say something like: ‘By the way, we change this and that, and then you see it right away.” “It doesn’t work that way and that’s why we continue to work 100 percent”.

On Saturday (4 p.m.) Liverpool will continue in the league at Wolverhampton Wanderers. And Klopp’s team urgently needs victories: The gap to the last place in the Champions League, currently occupied by Manchester United, is already ten points.
