By India Today Web Desk: Liverpool supervisor Jurgen Klopp has mentioned that they might want to play two tremendous video games to beat Real Madrid. The Reds are all set to face Los Blancos within the first leg of the UEFA Champions League spherical of 16 stage at Anfield on February 22.
Speaking forward of their match, Klopp mentioned Liverpool might want to play two tremendous video games to beat Real Madrid, including that it will be a particular encounter.
“We need to play a super game. We need to play two super games, to be honest, to get through. But I have no problem with that because, if you do not play your best, you do not have a chance. Real Madrid does not have to play their best and still has a chance. And that is the difference. And that is pretty special. But I cannot wait,” said Klopp.
The former Borussia Dortmund manager heaped praise on Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, calling him the most relaxed manager he’s met in his life.
“Carlo is the most relaxed manager I have ever met in my life. One of the best people you can meet. A fantastic person, a humble person, super smart and nice,” Klopp added.
The German manager spoke about Real Madrid’s attacking threats, praising the likes of Karim Benzema, Vinicius Junior, Luka Modric, Rodrygo and Toni Kroos.
“If you may defend Vinicius (Jr.) correctly, then there’s (Karim) Benzema. If you may defend him as effectively, in all probability, then there’s (Federico) Valverde or Rodrygo or whoever. If you may defend all three, then Toni Kroos fires the ball from 25 yards within the far nook. Luka Modric has an concept and goes via. Then there’s (Aurelien) Tchouameni, who picks up a ball and fires it from 25 yards or arrives within the field and heads it in,” mentioned Klopp.
