ReactionJürgen Klopp on Greuther Furth draw and 'top' training camp in Germany

The Reds concluded their 10-day base in Germany with a topsy-turvy encounter versus the 2. Bundesliga side, leading 1-0 and 3-1 before trailing 4-3 and finally levelling the score.

Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez (two) were on target with excellently taken finishes, before Mohamed Salah ensured a draw with a strike in the last minute.

Highlights: Greuther Furth 4-4 Liverpool

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com post-match, Klopp said: “Spectacular result… a lot of good football situations, obviously we could have scored in the first half already, that was all good.

“You could see now, last day of the camp; travel, play, travel is always a bit exhausting. But that’s it and you have to go through it, that’s what we did. Most important, nobody got injured.

“Of course nobody wants to concede four goals but you saw in the second half we tried to have a playing build-up and we were too late in mind, passed the balls too late, first touch not good, and that’s how we brought them back into the game. Scored on the other hand really, really nice goals, to be honest.

“So, a lot of good individual performances and that’s most important, that we have like 50-ish minutes for everybody and, again, nobody got injured. A good camp and I’m really happy.”

The Liverpool squad now return to Merseyside ahead of a trip to Singapore later this week, with further friendlies scheduled against Leicester City and Bayern Munich as preparations for 2023-24 continue.

“The camp was top, absolutely top-class – we cannot say differently,” added the manager. “And if we can, we will try to come back because the circumstances were perfect, we could do everything we wanted to do.

“We got massive support from the local club, SV Aasen, they were really, really helpful, so that was nice. It’s really nice that Greuther Furth came here to play us, because for us we are now on the way home pretty much and it was quite a trip for them to get here.

“But I think the few people that were here and everybody [watching] on the screen… I know nobody wants to concede four goals, but at least there were eight goals! How I said, it’s OK.”
