At the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City will play Liverpool in their first Premier League match following the international break. Both teams will be bringing back late returnees from South America.
The manager of Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp, has once again blasted the media for rescheduling his team’s trip to Manchester City to start off at 12.30 p.m. on Saturday.
The team led by Pep Guardiola will play Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium in their next match after the November international break. After Klopp’s team defeated Brentford on Sunday, they moved ahead of Arsenal and Tottenham to face the top two.
When an international break occurs, Klopp is frequently the voice of criticism regarding the Premier League calendar, lamenting the early Saturday kickoff. And on Sunday, the Liverpool manager was irritated once more.
“How can you put a game like this on Saturday at 12.30pm?” Klopp lost it. “To be honest, those who are making the decisions don’t understand football. It simply isn’t feasible.
“To watch a football game, people pay the most amount of money right now. By the way, the players—all South American players—will be picked up from various nations and returned on the same plane.
“You must battle your way through the world’s hardest league and be prepared on Thursday, Sunday, and Thursday. And be prepared on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. if the Premier League gets the chance to do it!”
