Klopp has declared himself ready for a “pretty busy period” as Liverpool turn their attention to strengthening their squad in the summer.
At least two new midfielders are anticipated, with Liverpool now preparing to ramp up their efforts to capture Brighton’s World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister
Jürgen Klopp
I don’t feel like I need a break, not at all. Honestly I’m completely fine. If you’d have asked me 11 games ago if you want to have a break, then I’d have thought about it, to be honest! But I’m absolutely fine, full of energy.
"I have a break – I don’t have training and those kind of things – but a pretty busy period hopefully starts now as well in a different area of the game and I’m more than happy to do that. I will find time to re-energise and then we start again in July.”
Klopp continued
"You all need a bit of luck and we were actually the opposite (this season),”
“Today you could see the influence of Diogo Jota, not available for most of the season. Luis Diaz, not available for most of the season. Cody Gakpo only came in the winter. Bobby Firmino, not available for big parts of the season. Darwin Nunez completely new."
"We had to be a dominant team and teams were waiting for us when we arrived there, and we couldn’t sort it as good as we wanted. That’s how it started and from that moment on we never calmed it down in the right way to be on it early enough.”
Klopp said: “If we’d started this series (of results) four or five weeks earlier, we still could have qualified for the Champions League, which would not have been brilliant but would have been outstanding.
“We know the reasons why it happened. We expect from ourselves to sort it quicker, but we work with human beings and sometimes it takes a bit longer.”
