Jurgen Klopp has called on Liverpool fans to focus on tonight’s match against Chelsea and set aside thoughts of his impending departure. Despite Klopp’s announcement last week about leaving at the end of the season, he emphasizes the importance of concentrating on the game. Chelsea, led by Mauricio Pochettino, aims to challenge the league leaders and make a statement.
Klopp, synonymous with Liverpool since joining in 2015, seeks a successful final season with significant trophy achievements. The discussion around Klopp’s successor and Liverpool’s plans for the season will persist. Despite the impending departure, Klopp is aware of Chelsea’s intent to disrupt the positive atmosphere at Anfield.
In his pre-match notes, Klopp expressed, “This is an occasion to forget about the manager leaving and collectively make it uncomfortable for a strong opponent.” He believes that unity can lead to another step forward in their journey.
Chelsea, by winning at Anfield, could narrow the gap to fifth-placed West Ham to just one point, while Liverpool aims to maintain their five-point lead at the top. Pochettino acknowledges Chelsea’s goal to spoil the celebration at Anfield but remains focused on winning the match and performing well.
