LIVERPOOL: Jurgen Klopp considers a busy football schedule like climate change.
The Liverpool manager, whose team travel to Fulham today, says efforts to fix the problem are not enough. The English Premier League star, who has played in every domestic, European and international game, has managed to amass 76 appearances this season.
Klopp is also upset that the English Premier League will take a break from November 12 to December 26 to make room for the World Cup.
"Everyone knows it's not good. Something has to change. It's like the climate. Everyone knows we have to change, but no one tells us what to do. “If you go to the World Cup final, win or lose, you have seven games to play. “Then there's the third-place match.
The competition starts a week later. “It's not good, but it's long overdue, everyone says it needs to be done. “I never got angry before I came here, but when I started talking about it, I got angry. "Why don't we have a proper talk."
Discussions must take place between FIFA, UEFA, the Premier League and the FA. "The main topic of discussion should be the most important part of the game - the players. "This World Cup happened at the wrong time for the wrong reason - but as if nothing had happened," said Klopp. - AGENCIES
