In the competition’s fourth round, Liverpool will play the Canaries at Anfield. The coaches in the dugout have a unique bond that dates back to their time together as FSV Mainz 05 colleagues.
Read on for a synopsis of Klopp’s press conference, held on Thursday afternoon at the AXA Training Centre, to preview the tie.
Since there are still four finals to go, to be honest, [I] didn’t give it much thought. We were eligible for one. However, we discovered that year that if you didn’t even play the first one, it makes no sense to plan the next one. Not every competition is designed for a single winner.
Due to the sheer quantity of games, such is the current situation. I can now see that, should we win on Sunday, the FA Cup round will take place three days after the final on Sunday, February 25. That’s the reality. Nothing is there to discover. The question will arise as to whether we can repeat it and make it to three finals, which is once more extremely unlikely.
Since it was evident that things did not go well after we did that. However, there were many reasons for that, and the fact that we participated in every final and remained in the league until the very last gameday was only one of 500. Thus, that is not at all problematic. However, that is not a concern for us at this time.
We are only grateful that we met the requirements for that one, which was significant. The reaction in the changing room was great. Seeing how much that meant to the guys was incredibly pleasant. Actually, I didn’t question that; I simply stated prior to the game that it clearly meant a great deal to Fulham, and if it meant as much to us, we had to demonstrate it.
