Team manager Jürgen Klopp from Liverpool has greatly praised his colleague Julian Nagelsmann before the Champions League clash.
Team manager Jürgen Klopp of Liverpool FC praised his colleague Julian Nagelsmann of the Bundesliga team RB Leipzig enormously before the Champions League clash.
“He is already an outstanding coach. And in the future, if we concentrate on other things for others who are all considerably older, we will play a real part in shaping it, “Klopp said before the quarter-final game on Tuesday (9: 00 p.m.) in Budapest.
According to Klopp, the 33-year-old Nagelsmann has “the necessary external appearance” and appears “young, fresh and yet serious”. In addition, he certified the Leipzig coach an “incredibly diverse profile in terms of the way his teams play” as well as “a very good eye for players and for how to use them.” Nagelsmann has been in charge of Leipzig since 2019 and led the Saxons to third place in the Bundesliga in his first season as well as to the semi-finals of the top class.
Rangnick: A 50-50 game
Nagelsmann saw Liverpool as a “light favourite” for Tuesday’s game, his predecessor Ralf Rangnick giving both teams the same chances. “A few months ago, I would have said that 65 percent of the game goes to Liverpool,” Rangnick told the Times: “But now it’s a 50-50 game.” Klopp coped well with this:” I am quite satisfied with the assessment of 50:50. If we were here with the full chapel, perhaps 65 percent would also be appropriate. But with 50:50, I can live well, which means we have absolutely every chance. That’s all I need. “
