Klopp reveals real reasoning for taking Liverpool squad on training camp

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp believes the break in Marbella has been beneficial to his players ahead of two crucial matches.

Klopp’s squad have spent four days at a training camp in Marbella this week but return home on Friday to step up preparations for their last-16 first-leg tie against the Bundesliga champions.

A trip to arch-rivals Manchester United follows on Sunday and Klopp believes the break in Spain provides perfect preparation for such a huge week in their season.

“How we see it, this is our little preparation for the rest of the season. It’s not only Bayern but of course it’s Bayern as well,” he told liverpoolfc.com.

“After that we play against United, another strong side, and then game after game is coming up. That was the reason we are here.

“Here we control everything, which is nice. The boys like it as well – it’s not that we do it for three weeks, it’s four days.

“It’s immediately a little push for all the things we have to do during the week. I like it a lot.”
