Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Trainer Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp was angry again after the Reds lost to Atalanta of matchday the fourth Champions League, Thursday (26/11) early this morning WIB.
Playing at Anfield Stadium, the Reds swallowed their first Champions League defeat this season. Down by combining the core players and coatings, Liverpool were crushed 0-2.
After the match, Klopp, who was interviewed by BT Sport, gave off steam. She is annoyed by the tight schedule.
Klopp was upset because his team didn’t have much time to maintain stamina to get back to winning ways after this defeat to Atalanta.
Brighton and Hove Albion have been waiting for Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday (28/11) noon local time or evening WIB, reported by the Daily Mail.
“Honestly this is a crime,” said Klopp denouncing the Premier League schedule only two days after the Champions League match.

Klopp is worried that his team will suffer something bad like injury or fatigue with a match that is only two days apart.
“I think (burnout) it can happen, not only to us but also to other teams,” said the former Borussia Dortmund coach.
“The only thing I give thumbs up is that no one was injured anymore,” he said.
Liverpool have in recent weeks been hit by a hurricane of injuries. Starting from Virgil Van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Thiago Alcantara to Jordan Henderson.

With so many injured players, Klopp had to rack his brains and rotate in several matches. Like against Atalanta, there were no names for Andrew Robertson, Roberto Firmino, and Diogo Jota from the first minute.
“Now people tell us to rotate players, but who? We have several attackers but the rest are young players,” he said.
The rotation has more or less affected Liverpool’s game at home to Atalanta. Despite drawing in the first half, Liverpool conceded two goals in less than five minutes.
Josip Illicic and Robin Gosens were able to vibrate Alisson Brecker’s net in 60 and 64 minutes.
This defeat did not change Liverpool’s position in Group D standings with a collection of nine points. With two games remaining, Liverpool must win at least three more points to secure a top 16 ticket.
Previously, Klopp had also complained in front of reporters because of the busy schedule of the Premier League and Champions League.
