Jurgen Klopp did not spare praise for the star player of London's "Chelsea," Eden Hazard, ahead of the upcoming important match.
According to the specialist from Germany, defending against the Belgian national team's attacking midfielder is an especially difficult task, but he will try to prepare the team to be able to stop the Belgian.
"Eden can immediately become the number one in the world at his best," said J. Klopp. "He has an amazing career. He has many qualities that I love in football. Such a great player."
"Like all good footballers, he will play against us, so we must do everything in our power to prevent him from feeling comfortable with the ball. That would help us a lot.
We will invite 13 players onto the field, and two of them will be responsible only for Eden. Seriously, the best we can do is reduce the number of passes towards him and react better to situations than other teams. It's not easy because if he manages to adapt to the ball, it's already 'game over'.
You can read the game and passes as best as you can, but ultimately, in 1v1 situations, you won't win. You need help from somewhere else.
I really like such footballers. If he plays his game, we have to accept that. If we can make Eden play differently than usual, it will be a good sign for us," praised Klopp, not sparing praise for the Belgian.
The clash between "Liverpool" and "Chelsea" will take place on Sunday at 18:30.
