Klopp advised his students to forget the 7-0 victory over Man Utd
"Winning 7-0 is strange and wonderful," Klopp said at a press conference on March 10. "We'll come back in 10-15 years, and maybe sit in the stands and watch another English derby. Someone can sit with me and remember we used to win, but now it's over. . It was an important victory, but it is not important today. We have to carry on."
Klopp wants his students to focus on the away match at Bournemouth on the evening of March 11. If they win, Liverpool can return to the top 4 of the Premier League before the fourth-placed team, Tottenham meets Nottingham. Liverpool are three points behind Tottenham, but have played one game less.
"Bournemouth will fight like crazy," Klopp warned the Liverpool player. "The way they play can be really frustrating for any opponent. Everyone has seen how they play against Arsenal. We want to be in the top four, but the immediate problem is to focus entirely on Bournemouth. ".
In the away game at Arsenal last week, Bournemouth took the lead from the first minute and led 2-0 after 57 minutes. The lead team could not have won three points, without the comeback with three goals from Partey in the 62nd minute, White in the 70th minute and Nelson in the 90+7 minute.
Bournemouth are at the bottom of the Premier League table, with 21 points from 25 games, but only four points behind the 15th-placed Leicester City. Their chances of relegation are still many in the last 13 matches.
A week before the match against Bournemouth, Liverpool crushed Man Utd 7-0 at Anfield. This is Liverpool's biggest win in English derbies at the national championship. Klopp's men needed 43 minutes to open the scoring, but scored six more in the second half. The three main strikers Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah all scored twice. The other goal belongs to the striker who came on to replace Roberto Firmino.
Losing to Liverpool has caused great damage to Man Utd in terms of confidence, honor and the chance to compete for the title. Man Utd are ranked third with 49 points after 25 matches, 14 points behind Arsenal. Man City ranked second with 58 points.
