Klopp made it clear: "Let the leagues think about players, not their pockets"

The discussion arose due to the complication that there is around finding a date for the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup, which Liverpool have to play against Aston Villa and that has had to be postponed due to the Club World Cup.

The German coach explained that he has still not found a solution to the problem and denied that they were going to try to play on the date indicated, using a team for the League Cup and another for the World Cup.

"We cannot leave players here for the League Cup. We have two games in a short period of time and it's not like we can go to Qatar with just eleven players," Klopp said.

On this subject, the German coach was questioned on if his footballers play too many games and he was clear.

"It's obvious, there are too many of them. Everybody in the world knows it. Nobody wants to touch it, nobody wants to speak about it. Then, UEFA decide to make the League of Nations and so footballers play a couple more games," he said.

"People say you need bigger teams, but this game isn't made for bigger teams. Right now there is an imbalance between the number of players in the squad and the competitions that are played and a gap between the rest that the boys need," he added.

Klopp added that players have two weeks off in a physically demanding game and urged leagues to sit down and talk about it, "thinking about the players and not their pockets".
