The reason why Jürgen Klopp wants Salah and Endo to fare badly

The Premier League is for many the best in the world, because unlike other leagues in Europe, it seems that year after year there are several teams that are candidates to be champions. This season, the team that finds itself as the championship leader is Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool, one of the most emblematic and historic teams in English soccer that, in recent years, has won absolutely every possible title at least once.

However, the previous season ended in failure for the Reds, as they not only failed to win a single title, but also failed in the primary objective of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. That is why in the current campaign, the team led by the legendary Jürgen Klopp did not participate in the most prestigious competition at club level and had to settle for the Europa League.

That is why the main objective this season for Liverpool is to return to the Champions League, something they seem to be on track to achieve. However, it seems that the Reds' fans' expectations have been exceeded, as their team is not only playing well, but they now have in their hands the possibility of winning the Premier League title again. On that note, the additions the team made in the summer have worked very well and have fit in with the stars the team already had.

But, unfortunately for Klopp, in January he will suffer two extremely important departures as both Mohamed Salah and Wataru Endo will have to leave Liverpool's training camp to join the national teams of Egypt and Japan respectively, as these two players will play the African Cup and the Asian Cup with their respective national teams. Given this, Jürgen Klopp's statement has surprised many, as he does not want his players to do well.

Klopp's words

Mohamed Salah and Wataru Endo are two players that Jürgen Klopp considers fundamental in his team's scheme. That is why, according to the German tactician himself, he told them that he did not wish them good luck with their national teams, as his wish is to have them back as soon as possible. "I told them that if I wished them luck it would be a lie. Personally, I would be very happy if they were eliminated after the group stage," he said.
