"Liverpool" team will compete in the FIFA Club World Cup final on Saturday, where they will meet the players of "Flamengo".
Jurgen Klopp's players found themselves in quite an unusual situation, as the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup, where "Liverpool" faced "Aston Villa", and the semifinals of the Club World Cup were just one day apart. For this reason, the youngsters of "Liverpool" played against "Aston Villa", who had little chance and ended their journey in this tournament.
Before the final match, "Liverpool" manager stated that the European clubs' attitude towards the FIFA Club World Cup tournament is inappropriate, and he hopes to change it.
"Our situation and that of 'Flamengo' are completely different. They came here with the goal to win and return home as heroes, while we were offered to stay in England and play in the Carabao Cup matches.
But we are here and we want to win this trophy. The attitude towards the FIFA Club World Cup tournament in Europe is completely different than in the rest of the world, and we want to change that.
"Liverpool" fans want this trophy, while for the fans of other European teams it is usually not as relevant. We saw how 'Monterrey' fought for victory on Wednesday, and something similar can be expected from the players of 'Flamengo', - J. Klopp said about the upcoming final.
