When Manchester United is about to go to Anfield, Klopp is also preparing for this critical battle. Even if the "Red Army" this season has not reached the level of championship competition, it must compete with strong teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City. Even if it can only achieve the goal of accumulating experience, it will have unimaginable benefits to Liverpool's future.

Klopp is very clear about the current situation of his team. These players in Liverpool are still too young. Salah, Firmino, and Van Dijk are all 25 or 26 years old when they play. They are indeed in their best condition. Moreover, these players are very strong, but the problem is... these players have no successful experience yet.

Success...it can actually be copied!

But the premise is that you have to succeed once, right?

The "Red Army" has not won the top league championship in England for many years, and after the establishment of the Premier League, Liverpool has never won a championship. Their best results in the Premier League are only the runner-up.

The honor of a Premier League champion has now become a heart-wrenching problem for Liverpool fans!

Given that his players are not experienced enough, Klopp will give his players very detailed instructions every time he is in a critical battle, and this time is no exception.

Before Manchester United came to Liverpool, Klopp started targeted training while leading the team...

"Moreno, don't press it up, never go up. When playing against Manchester United, your task is not to go up and assist, but you only have one task. I stared at the opponent's No. 30 Chinese Yang to death and stared at him! Don't leave him room for activities at any time!"

"Virgil, Deyan, you two should also pay attention. Manchester United's frontcourt engine is their No. 30. While you defend Lukaku, you should also observe the position of that kid and not let them form a linkage."

"Henderson, you are our captain and you are also the team's midfielder. During the game, you should pay attention to cutting off the connection between the opponent and No. 30!"

"Mohamed, Sadio, you two should not just focus on breaking through on the wing, but pay attention to whether there is a chance to cut inside. As long as you can drive the ball into Manchester United's penalty area, there will be chaos on their defense line. We will have a chance at that time."

When Klopp assigns tasks to players, he really takes into account all aspects. This is also his usual coaching style. As for how much the players can perform in the game... it depends on the performance on the spot.

But even so, Klopp was actually still unsure, because he was just betting on a possibility now, that is... Mourinho still won't let Pogba play.

When Manchester United didn't send Pogba to the court, their offense was basically initiated by two wingers, namely Yang Xiaozhuang or Rashford and Martial. This is why Klopp decided that as long as he strangled Manchester United's No. 30 could paralyze the opponent's offense.

But if Pogba comes on the court, Manchester United's midfield organizational ability will immediately improve more than one level, and Liverpool's defense will have real trouble.

However, with Klopp's understanding of Mourinho's character, he believes that there is at least 80% chance of this game. The opponent will not let Pogba appear in the lineup, or even enter the roster, because if you think from the perspective of others, Klopp will not let Pogba appear in his lineup, even if this person is the captain of the team.

In less than two days, when Mourinho and Manchester United arrived at Liverpool a day early and stayed in the hotel, Klopp knew that he had the right bet.

Pogba... didn't come to Liverpool at all!

So cruel!

At the moment when he knew the answer, even Klopp began to admire Mourinho, the senior. The Portuguese "madman" really has personality. It would be fine if he abandoned Pogba before. This time he dared to abandon Manchester United's number one star against his team. This is really not something that ordinary coaches can do.

However, this is a good thing for Liverpool!

On the morning of the game day, Klopp announced the news to the "Red Army" soldiers gathered here at the Melwood training base...

"Boys, Manchester United's lineup arrangement is not beyond our coaching staff's expectations. Their French midfielder Pogba did not come to Liverpool with the team, so their midfield combination today does not have any organizational ability, but their defensive ability will be stronger. As long as we can stare at their two wingers in the game, we can curb their offense! At the same time, our offensive direction should go as far as possible to avoid their interception in the middle, and we will definitely win this game."

After hearing this news, Liverpool players were really happy this time. They also discussed this issue when they were preparing for this game. The targeted training they did was practiced against Manchester United's wing attack. What if... Pogba came on the court?

At that time... Liverpool will be caught off guard!

But now, there is no need to think about those!

Pogba hasn't even come to Liverpool, so he will definitely not play in this game. Next, it depends on whether the team can strangle Manchester United's offense to death!

This season, even if Manchester United is not the strongest in the 20 Premier League teams, they are one of the best in terms of attack power. After all, their number of goals is the largest among all teams.

It’s not that Liverpool’s players think their team is not as good as Manchester United, but in terms of attack power... it seems that they really can’t compare!

It's more comfortable now. Everyone knows that Manchester United's No. 30 is the initiator of their frontcourt offense. As long as you keep an eye on that Chinese boy, Manchester United's attack power will be reduced by at least half. Moreover, the team has prepared such targeted tactical arrangements before. This time it's home game again, and the outcome of the game... Haha!

Everyone from Liverpool has become confident and relaxed at this moment. This game is really time, place, people, and all aspects. If they can't win the game under such circumstances... that's really helpless!

At 12 noon, Anfield Stadium was already full of fans from both sides. Manchester United fans also attached great importance to this "Double Red Club". 3,000 away tickets have been sold out, but even so... 3,000 people are not as good as Liverpool fans!

So, when Manchester United players entered Anfield Stadium to warm up, there were harsh boos in the historic stadium, and even completely covered up the cheers from Manchester United fans...
Chapter completed!
