England coach Gareth Southgate will refuse any request from Jurgen Klopp to allow Liverpool players to rest when the Three Lions play Nations League
England coach Gareth Southgate said he would refuse any request from his colleague Jurgen Klopp to allow his players to rest more when the Three Lions play the Nations League next summer.
Liverpool has a clash with Real Madrid in the Champions League final on May 29 (Vietnam time).
Southgate will refuse Klopp’s offer to give his players more rest
Coach Jurgen Klopp and his students just had a disappointing weekend, when a 3-1 victory over Wolverhampton was not enough to help them win the Premier League.
Manchester City continues to be the team that lifted the prestigious Premier League trophy, after defeating coach Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa.
They will continue to march to Stade de France, hoping to complete their `treble` in the season.
However, despite the busy schedule, Mirror Sport said that England coach Gareth Southgate will not give the Kop’s native players `any time off`.
Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are important players in the Three Lions squad at the moment.
Because of that, it caused tension between him and Jurgen Klopp.
“I don’t know why he (Klopp) keeps changing his mind.
Next June, from the 4th to the 14th, England will face Hungary in Budapest and Germany in Munich, before returning home to host Italy and then Hungary.
Southgate assessed the importance of the above matches, because they will be `tests` for him to choose the official squad to participate in the upcoming World Cup, as well as the Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Some players like Jordan Henderson and Alexander Arnold still have to focus on the England team next summer
For that reason, the 51st strategist understood that he needed his best players to participate in that match, regardless of their physical condition.
Besides familiar names, Southgate also creates conditions for other players to have the opportunity to test themselves.
The 25-year-old striker ended the season with 22 appearances at The Hammers.
While giving opportunities to newcomers, it is likely that players with poor performance, as in the case of Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford of Manchester United, will find it difficult to be recruited in the near future.
