Jurgen Klopp on…
…the end of the season with Liverpool: “It’s the best end of the season you can have because we only play so often because we’ve gotten so far in the various competitions. I pointed out that this is a crap kick-off time “We want to play all the games that are coming up. No problem at all. But it doesn’t have to be that you play somewhere in the semi-finals somewhere on Wednesday evening and then they still let us play it on Saturday at 12.30 p.m. according to the motto: Just have a look, how it goes – for no reason. I’ll never understand that.”
…the semi-finals in the FA Cup against Manchester City on Saturday: “We noticed a few days ago that City are relatively good. It will be interesting because City did really well and some of our individual performances were not so good, as they can be. Maybe we can get everyone to play at the top end of our capabilities and then we’ll see what comes out. The pitch at Wembley is huge, you have a lot of grass to defend.”
…about the CL semi-final against Villarreal: “I haven’t prepared for Villarreal yet. I think they definitely deserved progress in both games against Bayern. They threw out Juventus in the previous round. Whoever threw out Bayern and Juventus, he has to be in the semis so they deserve it Unai Emery is a bit the king of cup competitions – amazing what he pulls off there They will have a clear plan but by the time we meet we will have one too. “
