However whereas the media have been keen to attract comparisons to an analogous job that was required in opposition to Barcelona, Klopp was very immune to disclosing how he’ll method his staff speak.
He did, nevertheless, refer again to his well-known quote from the eve of that match in 2019, which went like this: “If we are able to do it, fantastic. If we are able to’t do it, let’s fail in essentially the most lovely means.”
And that message stays true forward of what may very well be his remaining European recreation at Liverpool.
On his staff speak, Klopp stated: “I normally don’t put together these items, particularly not a day earlier than or 4 years earlier than – what I’ll say to the boys I’ll take into consideration tomorrow.
“However positively nothing about these items have been within the press convention earlier than, however I keep in mind that I stated, ‘if we fail, let’s fail in essentially the most lovely means’, and that’s precisely how I see it once more.
“I stated it already, we wish to win the sport. But when we wish to win, we higher play good, and in the event you play good we have now an opportunity to win it. Then we’ll see.
“Straight after the sport [last week] everybody within the stadium at Liverpool, supporters, Atalanta, and our workers thought that’s it, however since then I don’t suppose everyone thinks it’s already determined.
“We’re right here and we may be good, let’s see what we are able to placed on the pitch tomorrow, however my staff assembly is not going to occur in entrance of the world within the press convention.
“If we win, the gamers will discover a purpose to inform the world what I stated, and if we lose, nobody will wish to hear what I stated.”
Let’s hope we get the previous!
