Jurgen Klopp pleads for Liverpool fans to adhere to rules

Published on: 29 May 2020

Jurgen Klopp hopes Liverpool fans will stay at home should they clinch their first top-flight title in 30 years.

There have been concerns that supporters will raid the streets with wild celebrations despite strict social distancing laws amid the coronavirus pandemic.

One solution being considered is that Liverpool could play some of their games at neutral venues including the Merseyside derby but Klopp isn't too interested where the Reds could win the league.

'In the moment for me whenever it will be, in an empty stadium blah, blah blah, with all the thoughts and prayers and love from the people all around the world it will still be an absolutely exceptional day in my life,' Klopp told beIN Sports.

'Wherever it will be I don't know, we hope it will be at Anfield but we don't know and that's not important' added Klopp.

'I heard that there is some talk [about neutral venues], I'm pretty sure that we can solve the situation here as well in Liverpool.'

'I heard a day ago a really good phrase about that we have the best home fans in the world, and now we need the best stay at home fans in the world.'

'We waited a while for this situation and it's not done yet. If we had not stopped the league, or it would not have happened, the silly null and void stuff.

'We wanted to play anyway and now we are really desperate to play because we want to become champions on the pitch that looks like that we can do that.'

Plans to play Premier League games at neutral venues have been thrown into chaos as Merseyside Police have said they have 'no objections' to Liverpool and Everton playing at their home stadiums.

This is despite head of football in the UK, Mark Roberts, saying on Friday that he believes a 'small number' of the 92 outstanding Premier League games should be held in neutral venues - one of which is believed to be the Merseyside derby.

The Reds could now win their first top-flight title in 30 years at their arch rivals Everton's home ground, Goodison Park.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was speaking exclusively to beIN Sports.
