Jurgen Klopp expressed his dissatisfaction with the playing surface despite Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over LASK in Austria, where they kicked off their Europa League group campaign.
Jurgen Klopp comments came after he became the first Liverpool manager to achieve 50 wins in European competitions during his tenure at Anfield.
While celebrating this milestone, Klopp humorously remarked that if he still had 50 wins after the group stage, everyone would probably hate it.
He acknowledged the significance of the achievement but attributed it partly to the fact that modern European competitions involve more games than in the past.
Regarding the match against LASK, Klopp praised the atmosphere created by the fans but voiced his disappointment with the quality of the pitch.
He described the playing surface as “really bad” and expressed relief that the game was not scheduled to be played there in December.
Despite Jurgen Klopp concerns about the pitch, Liverpool secured a victory, marking another milestone in the manager’s successful European journey with the club.
