After the spontaneous change of the training camp location, Liverpool is looking for test match opponents in Salzburg, because a total of two tests are planned in the Salzburg region. The week after next there could be a new edition of the two Champions League duels between Salzburg and Liverpool FC in Kleßheim before the trip home to England. The local master confirms that a possible meeting is currently being negotiated.
For a long time it looked like no top European teams would come to Salzburg this year because of the coronavirus pandemic, now it is important to prepare the camp for Liverpool within a few days, says Hannes Empl, who organizes the training camp with his agency SLFC.
Short-term organization was a big challenge
“I haven’t slept much in the past two days. You have to find a hotel in two days, which is not easy in August. You need sports fields, sports facilities for the friendlies, it was a real challenge. That’s why we’re glad that everything went well, ”said Empl.
Liverpool with start trainer Jürgen Klopp and the two ex-Salzburgers Sadio Mane and Nabi Keita will travel with almost 100 people and will train for a total of ten days at the Brandlhof in Saalfelden from Saturday.
