In the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will travel to face Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Beginning at 12:30 p.m. UK time, the game will begin.
This week, a large number of Liverpool players had international obligations.
And Liverpool’s Saturday morning game has Klopp, who makes £300,000 per week (according to PlanetFootball), quite unhappy.
Jurgen Klopp on Liverpool’s game times
It’s not a problem in a regular week, we always stated that’s easy to adjust, the only issue is the lack of recovery time, Klopp remarked during Friday’s news conference, according to the Daily Star.
So, from now until March, there will be four international breaks, two of which will begin at 12:30 p.m.
The manager of Liverpool continued, “This is a farce! We have players in South America, but I haven’t yet met them. We play in a day.
“But it is what it is, and no matter who I talk to, we can’t and won’t ever change that.
“The TV station now goes by the moniker TNT Sport, although it doesn’t change anything at all. They simply don’t care about that.
“We didn’t consider (12:30 p.m. kickoff), but in that instant, someone like you makes me wonder, ‘What’s the exact issue?'” It’s lunchtime at 12:30, but could it also be due to the intensity of the travel and lack of time between the games?
“Form your judgment regarding it. Possibly without a source this time.
Jurgen Klopp, manager of Liverpool, needs to move on.
Jurgen Klopp, manager of Liverpool, should, in our opinion, simply accept the situation and move on.
That is all there is to it.
Just stop focusing on it so much.
What is the purpose?
There won’t be any change.
Perhaps it shouldn’t, too.
It would be preferable for Liverpool to play on a Saturday at 3 p.m. rather than at 12:30 p.m.
However, clubs receive large sums of money from TV firms to broadcast their games.
Liverpool is also a major draw.
Liverpool must accept the choice they make regarding kickoff timings if they hope to profit significantly from television deals.
