Jurgen Klopp Describes Liverpool’s Germany Training Camp as “Top Class”

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has described his squad’s Germany training camp as “top class” after the second warm-up for the 2023/24 season. The Reds were held to a lively 4-4 draw behind closed doors against Greuther Furth, with Luis Diaz scoring a terrific first-half strike and Mohamed Salah stealing a late equaliser.

Speaking after the game, Klopp expressed his delight at the way in which his side’s pre-season has gone so far, adding that he hopes to return to Germany for further training in future summers.

“The camp was top, absolutely top class. We can’t say differently. If we can, we will try to come back because the circumstances were perfect. We could do everything we wanted to do,” said the boss following the eventful encounter.

Klopp also praised the local club for their support and hospitality, noting that it was “really nice” that Greuther Furth had made the trip to play them.

The Reds arrived at their Baden-Wurttemberg base on July 15 to continue preparations for the upcoming season and take part in friendlies against Karlsruher and Greuther Furth.

However, the second half of the latter fixture became somewhat chaotic as Liverpool shipped four times to a team currently in the second tier of German football. Klopp played down the significance of his team’s second-half defensive showing but conceded that the volume of goals was something “nobody wants” to see.

“I think the few people here and everybody [watching] on the screen, I know nobody wants to concede four goals, but at least there were eight goals, c’mon? It’s ok,” he continued.

The Reds will briefly head back to England before embarking on the next leg of pre-season in Singapore later this week. Meetings with Leicester and Bayern Munich are on the agenda as the squad work towards getting themselves in the best possible shape for the new campaign.

If the first two pre-season friendlies are anything to go by, you won’t want to miss the next two!
