'Hendo would have STAYED! Trent AA OUT of tomorrow's game!' | Jurgen Klopp | Wolves v Liverpool - video Dailymotion

BeanymanSports

Press conference with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp ahead of their Premier League match away to Wolverhampton Wanderers.  He says Trent Alexander-Arnold will not be fit to feature against Wolves, whether Ryan Gravenberch benefited from not joining up with the Netherlands U21 squad, says he's not thinking about any interest in Mo Salah come the January window, says he's happy with his midfield options after a rebuild in the summer and he's loving working with them so far, whether Molineux is a particularly difficult place to go after some tough games over the years, responds to quotes from Jordan Henderson surrounding his reasons for leaving Liverpool - saying there is absolutely no bad blood between the two, what qualities Ryan Gravenberch has that made him want to bring him to Liverpool, how things have changed since a loss at Wolves last season - saying he's treating this year as a new start, the fitness of his squad with Alexander-Arnold, Konate and Thiago all struggling, how much Trent's absence has changed the dynamics of the team, the side failing to win a 1230 kick off last season - saying the bigger issue is playing a game at that time off the back of an international break.

00:00 Is your form OK?

00:08 I was just looking at what it actually said.

00:11 It's Liverpool FC, that's a football club.

00:14 Is that like this?

00:17 Sorry?

00:21 Yeah, I got that because I shall wear that.

00:25 It's dry fit actually, it's really good.

00:27 Good material, feels well.

00:30 Matt, from the promotions aisle, do you want to go first?

00:33 Hi, how are you doing?

00:34 OK, so far.

00:35 Is there any concern over Trent Alexander-Arnold's hamstring injury?

00:40 No concern. He's not available, we knew that before.

00:44 So, that's OK, he didn't train with the team once yet,

00:48 and it will take a little bit.

00:50 So it's not the worst hamstring injury you can have,

00:53 but it's a hamstring injury,

00:55 they barely healed in two weeks and this one didn't as well.

00:59 We hope he can start, as he's running already,

01:06 but start ball work maybe early next week,

01:09 and then we will see, then we will go from there.

01:12 And Ryan Brubham matched, opted not to play for the Netherlands

01:15 on the 21 team this week to focus on Liverpool.

01:18 Have you seen the benefit of that and will he feature in wars?

01:22 We will see that, but of course there's a benefit of it.

01:27 It's just a player who comes to a new club,

01:30 so he had training sessions here,

01:32 he could sort everything on a private basis,

01:35 so if he would do that now this week...

01:38 We have games every three days, let me say it like that,

01:41 so he knows where he will live, he has a car,

01:45 he has organised everything around, so of course it's a benefit of that.

01:49 I understand that the Dutch, Mr Reisinger was not happy,

01:54 or Ronald Koeman was not happy, I can get that,

01:57 but the boy is a footballer through and through,

01:59 wants to play football all the time,

02:01 and he used that break to fix a lot of things,

02:07 which we usually do in a proper rush, so he didn't have to do that.

02:11 That's, from our point of view, obviously good,

02:13 but he loves playing for Holland, whichever team, and yeah, that's it.

02:19 I'm sure you're relieved now that the transfer window is closed

02:22 and we can stop talking about Mo Salah's...

02:24 But you still do it! That's interesting.

02:27 Is there a fear that it will reignite...

02:29 You are not... You're kidding me, yeah?

02:32 A week after we close the transfer window,

02:35 you ask me about a January transfer window.

02:38 It's likely that a bid may come in, again in January.

02:42 HE CHUCKLES

02:43 Yeah.

02:45 Obviously, you can't wait until December to ask these questions,

02:48 so we will see what happens until then.

02:50 I'm not worried in this moment at all,

02:52 I didn't even think about it until you opened that round again.

02:55 So, yeah, no. I'm not worried.

03:01 Jürgen, when you consider the players that left over the summer

03:07 and now the players that have come in, the latest being Ryan of course,

03:10 and you consider your midfield options,

03:12 are you happy with how that option looks now

03:15 and you've got the ability to do everything you hopefully want to do?

03:19 Yeah, I'm happy. I was happy with our midfield we had over the years.

03:23 Fantastic players, super characters, a real man grew into fantastic...

03:29 From younger players into more experienced players,

03:33 grew into each different role.

03:37 The most successful players we had here at the club,

03:40 at least since I'm here, and it was a big task,

03:45 and it's a big task to replace these guys.

03:47 But I'm happy with what we've got, that's true.

03:53 I really think we brought in good players and we had already good players here,

03:57 with Curtis, with Harvey, Thiago, obviously we had already...

04:03 Stefan, we had really good players here, and we brought a few on top of that.

04:07 That's necessary, but...

04:11 ..not easy. So far I think it looks all right,

04:17 but we would have loved to carry on, obviously after the Estanbela game,

04:22 which was a really good game.

04:24 Couldn't do that.

04:25 I think 30-odd hours ago, Maga played in Bolivia,

04:32 landed yesterday morning at four o'clock,

04:36 Lucio at 9am, yesterday.

04:41 So let's see where we can pick up from there.

04:45 I didn't see them yet, and I will see them today,

04:49 and then we make decisions about the game tomorrow.

04:51 But with the quality of the players I'm really happy.

04:57 The potential is really good, and I love working with them,

05:04 because they are open, it's nice for a coach obviously as well,

05:08 for a manager as well, that you know they didn't hear it already 500 times before,

05:13 so some messages are new.

05:15 And, yeah, so it's really exciting.

05:20 In terms of Wolves, you've had some tight games against them,

05:24 particularly on their home ground in recent years,

05:27 is it a particularly difficult place to go to to get a result?

05:30 Yeah, it is, it is like Premier League.

05:34 If you ask me now, is there any way you like to go and think,

05:37 "Oh, my God, we have to point already"?

05:39 There is none, but it was for sure not as well.

05:42 And I have to say, I know they had now...

05:45 I wasn't sure, the manager didn't want to lose Mateusz Junius,

05:50 stayed in the window.

05:52 They lost a few key players.

05:54 And then you look at the line-up and you think, "Wow, that's real quality."

05:59 Yeah, players like Wang and Kaličić don't even start,

06:03 so they have still Neto and other guys,

06:08 so it's a really, really good football team.

06:11 And that's the team we prepare for.

06:14 We're unlucky, obviously, early in the season already with decisions,

06:19 which happens to all of us,

06:21 but not all these decisions lead directly to a bad result.

06:25 In their case, I think it was like that.

06:28 So, yeah, we expect a massive fight, and that's what we have to be ready for.

06:33 Jürgen, Jordan gave quite a wide-ranging interview during the international break,

06:42 just on the element of Liverpool,

06:44 on one of the things he said, that if someone had asked me to stay, I wouldn't.

06:49 Obviously it's difficult to leave a place that you love,

06:52 and clearly played so long for.

06:54 I just wanted to get your thoughts on...

06:56 You can. Yeah.

06:58 I really think it's important to...

07:01 I didn't read the interview, I only heard it first, then I read it.

07:06 Because Tony spoke about it, and I thought,

07:09 "OK, maybe before I have it all tinted by Tony,

07:11 "maybe I should make my own opinion."

07:14 And...

07:16 Handle said the truth in all departments, that's how it was.

07:22 So we had our talks, I told Handle I want him to stay,

07:25 but we had to talk in these conversations as well about the possibility of...

07:29 ..not playing regularly, I told him, "They bring players in and stuff like this."

07:34 You don't have this talk about the possibility,

07:37 "Handle, I cannot have a talk before a season and tell a player you will have 50 games,

07:41 "this is 100 per cent," because I don't know that.

07:43 It all depends on performance.

07:45 And if Handle would have performed, he would have had maybe 50 games,

07:48 absolutely fine, absolutely possible.

07:50 But in the specific situation with the relationship we had,

07:54 I thought it's important that we speak really about everything,

08:00 and that means what happens if.

08:03 Because Handle is a fantastic player, I will love him forever, super guy,

08:07 but he's not great when he's not playing, let me say it like that.

08:11 So Millie was like this when I arrived here, and Lucas Leiva was like this,

08:15 and you always thought, "OK, they're great guys."

08:17 In the moment you see the line-up, they turn into Jekyll and Hyde,

08:20 it's a friendly game against that, it's unbelievable.

08:23 So, and that's with Handle's problem, so you have to talk about that.

08:27 He was my captain for seven and a half, nearly eight years,

08:31 and I said, "I have to talk about that now,

08:34 "because I don't want to wake up one morning and we two knock horns with each other

08:38 "just because you thought you would start and I tell you you will not."

08:42 And that was obviously in Handle's ear and mind came on,

08:46 "OK, he doesn't want me here."

08:49 I understand it 100 per cent, but we clarified that,

08:52 but anyway, what he said is if I would have told him, "Handle, stay here,

08:56 "you will be the main man in midfield," stuff like this,

08:59 Handle would have stayed, that's the truth.

09:01 That's 100 per cent the truth, but I couldn't say that.

09:03 As much as I wanted him to stay, I couldn't say that.

09:07 And that's why it was better that Handle moved on, so that's it.

09:11 And there's nothing, not a bit of bad blood or whatever.

09:18 He is the captain of the most successful team this club saw in the Premier League era,

09:23 and rightly so, and he's a sensational player, only the best.

09:29 And when he comes here, from my point of view, he gets a real farewell everything,

09:34 so there's nothing to misunderstand from that point of view, 100 per cent.

09:38 - Thank you. - You're welcome.

09:40 Jürgen, can I just ask, what are the qualities in Ryan Gravenberg

09:45 that made you want to bring him to Liverpool?

09:47 Because he's a player you've been linked with for a fairly lengthy period of time.

09:52 I wouldn't want to choose one, to be honest, the package is really interesting.

09:58 He's good in small spaces, and that's now especially good in big spaces as well,

10:05 so he can accelerate with the ball, he can really drive the ball,

10:09 he has a really good overview, he has a good pass, a good shooter.

10:15 The full week training now, everybody said before, and he knows that,

10:20 he's a really skilled boy, he always was, with 18 he played...

10:23 When he moved to Bayern he had already played more than 100 games at Ajax,

10:27 so that's not a usual career until then.

10:30 But everybody would have said, "Nah, defensively he can make the next step 100 per cent."

10:35 But I see that he wants that, he got that 100 per cent,

10:38 so when he's really in that, he's working extremely hard,

10:41 it's obviously really nice for him having... OK, Kody only arrived yesterday,

10:46 but having Virg and Kody around, but it's the same age group like most of the boys now,

10:54 and it's really cool having him.

10:56 So he's a good guy, and a player with massive potential.

11:01 And I don't know where it will end up, he has to fit in what we are doing,

11:06 but we will. How long it will take, I don't know, we will see.

11:10 But to get closer to the peak, but we will work on that,

11:20 he's here for a long time and I'm really happy that he's here and that we can start that.

11:25 This fixture last season, Wolves at Molineux,

11:29 it maybe represented a real low point in last season.

11:34 We had a lot of low points.

11:35 Yeah, but you spoke after the game about the players lacking confidence,

11:39 that Liverpool in, I think it was February,

11:44 is so different to this Liverpool seven months later.

11:48 How have you been able to bring about that change?

11:52 I didn't remember that I said that, I thought I said that after Brighton,

11:56 but maybe I said it after Brighton as well, eh?

11:58 And after other games!

12:01 So, I'm not sure we proved already that we made a change or whatever,

12:09 I think we showed a few really nice signs.

12:12 I liked it as well, I really liked the Aston Villa game.

12:15 I know how difficult this game usually is, and that day we were really good.

12:21 And that's cool, early in the season,

12:24 pretty much three days or two days after the transfer window closed,

12:28 when everybody's like, "We should have, we should have,"

12:30 and then this team plays that kind of... It was a really good one.

12:34 But are we stable already? I don't know.

12:37 Let's see, we miss players for the game tomorrow,

12:41 so key players for us, obviously, do we have to prove that we can replace them,

12:45 that we still can play football?

12:47 So we built a team, not...

12:49 It's not that we have built a team, or did it during the pre-season,

12:55 or whenever we started with a slightly different system.

12:58 We are in that process.

13:00 Yes, we had key moments going in our direction,

13:03 we'll all have key moments going in our direction,

13:04 unfortunately probably not,

13:07 but winning with ten men helps to create a spirit and a mentality.

13:12 But only if you use it, because even these opportunities,

13:16 you can slip through your fingers and then you think, "How was it again?

13:19 "I forgot what we had to do."

13:21 So, it's still early days and we have to build a team,

13:24 and I'm really happy with the bases we can work from.

13:27 I said before the Aston Villa game,

13:30 when I stand in the dressing room and look at the team,

13:32 I really, really love this team, and it's early days.

13:35 I really think it's easy for people to love this team as well,

13:38 so that's all we need, because we cannot...

13:41 And Liverpool never could.

13:42 We cannot start loving a team when we won something,

13:45 we have to do it before, because that's the only chance we can win something.

13:49 So, let's go for it and then we will see.

13:51 But what we did is we changed a few things, we brought in new players,

13:56 and maybe for me a big difference is...

14:01 And I said to the players, obviously, that this is not my...

14:04 It's not year eight, because I think in October I'm here eight years.

14:08 This is year one of the new team, and that's exactly how we approach everything.

14:13 Changed a lot of things, brought in a few guys to give interesting insight

14:21 into their lives, and we want to become a new team

14:25 and not the replica of the other team.

14:30 And that's what we are working on.

14:32 So I'm fully in, this is year one of whatever,

14:36 and not year eight of the good old past.

14:39 Welcome.

14:40 Karl.

14:41 You just... You touched on...

14:43 It's nice not to be able to talk.

14:45 Oh, it's great. Second is movies.

14:47 You touched on strength and fitness,

14:51 just generally what's the state of the rest of the squad?

14:54 Sorry? The rest of the squad?

14:56 Yeah.

14:58 Thiago is running, but that's it.

15:01 Ibu trained since two days.

15:08 Two days?

15:09 Yeah, two days with the team.

15:11 Who else?

15:17 Darius.

15:20 Darius.

15:21 I didn't see him yet, but we had contact and they said Thiago is fine.

15:26 But we will see that now.

15:29 We have to make a couple of decisions, but he should be fine.

15:33 Ponsse was there.

15:35 Sorry?

15:36 Jorel Ponsse.

15:37 What did he have? I didn't see him.

15:38 He was at the international break.

15:40 Oh, OK. No, he trains the full week with us,

15:44 so that was obviously enough time to rest.

15:47 Stefan had a good camp with the U21s, played only a few minutes,

15:54 but it helped him anyway.

15:56 No, I think that's it.

15:59 I wish we didn't forget anybody, that would be really bad.

16:03 Goalie...

16:05 No, all good.

16:07 Just on Trent, considering the role he's performed for this side

16:11 in the last six months, how much has him not being there changed

16:15 the dynamic in the team?

16:18 Dynamic, not so much. We have to be there flexible, even with Trent.

16:22 I think if you watch the game against Willa, in detail you will see

16:28 that he was not fixed in any midfield role, inside role.

16:33 We have to be flexible there, and that's exactly how we will do it.

16:37 Yeah, but if you know another passer like Trent, tell me.

16:44 We can play this position, it would be really cool,

16:47 but it must be fine, it will be fine.

16:49 We have to adapt to the different skill sets of the player,

16:52 but the most important thing in this game, again, is defensive stability.

16:57 That's all about, then we can play.

17:00 If you're not stable, you don't have to think about that,

17:02 and that's why the last game against Aston Villa, I think a lot of people...

17:07 ..were maybe not convinced about our last line,

17:13 and you saw Joe Gomez and Joel Matip performing on that level,

17:17 which is...they have that quality and that's really cool.

17:21 So that was the key for the game, plus Alexis in front of them did really well.

17:26 So we need defensive stability and then we can play football from there.

17:32 James, last one before the break.

17:34 Jürgen, just asking about player 12.30 on Saturday,

17:37 you had six games at that slot last season, drew three, lost three.

17:41 Is there something about playing at that time that is problematic,

17:44 or is it more about preparation time if you play midweek?

17:49 Obviously this time around it's a different dynamic

17:51 with players coming back from international duty.

17:54 Are you serious with that question?

17:56 Yeah.

17:57 What do you mean, what is the difference when you play 30 hours ago in Bolivia?

18:01 What do you think is the reason?

18:04 I don't understand, is that something about the time,

18:07 or is it the lack of time between?

18:10 Is it specifically playing at that time on a Saturday?

18:15 That's not a problem if you're a normal week, we always said that.

18:18 If you're a normal week it's not a problem, 12.30, that's easy to adapt,

18:21 the only problem is the lack of recovery time.

18:23 So we have four international breaks until March,

18:27 two of them we have already the 12.30 kick-off.

18:30 If I say a word about it then the whole world goes again,

18:33 "Oh, oh, oh, oh..."

18:35 We start moaning again.

18:36 This is a joke.

18:38 We have players in South America, I didn't see them yet in 24 hours we play.

18:44 But it's like it is, we cannot change that, we will never change that.

18:49 Whoever we will talk to, obviously the TV channel has now a different name,

18:55 but that doesn't change obviously anything at all.

18:58 So they just don't give a...

19:01 ...bub about that.

19:04 So I shouldn't talk about it, we didn't think about it.

19:06 But in a moment somebody like you now gives me this feeling that he's sitting there,

19:12 and what's exactly the problem?

19:14 Is it 12.30 because it's lunchtime, or could it be the lack of time

19:18 between the games and the intensity of the travel?

19:22 Make your own opinion about it, maybe this time without a source.

19:26 - Thank you, everyone. - You're welcome.
