However, if Liverpool draw with the Gunners, there will be a replay at Anfield to decide who goes through to the fourth round, with the tie expected to take place during the winter break. So, the Reds are not sure if they should play at halftime or not. With FIFA recently confirming updated qualification criteria for the Club World Cup and the first 32-team tournament set to take place in the summer of 2025, Klopp spoke of the tension, not for the first time.
The best football player.”I can’t plan (for the winter break),” he told reporters ahead of the FA Cup third round. “I don’t know if I’m ready to vote again.“I read what Sean (Dyche) had to say about it. It only favors the big clubs. But I think the facts are on the table. “He said it would be nice if he could take some games out of the very busy December and put them in January. It might not be a bad idea, but it would spoil his winter holidays. I don’t know if I should.“But there is a lot of tradition in this race. If I sit here now as a German and talk about the FA Cup, everyone will follow. I love the FA Cup. “It’s hard to keep going through these rounds. It takes a great team to make it to the end. And you have to play other games until you get there.“You play somewhere in the middle and then you go on to play the Carabao Cup final and you need league games to do that.
This made league play clearly inappropriate. It’s just the first gap, and boom, you’re playing there. It is incredibly difficult.”But we don’t take responsibility for it, because if we (footballers) had taken responsibility, things would have been very different.
“The reason football people take over is not because we’re lazy, it’s because we’re the ones who really understand what the players are doing.”He continued: “Outside, when we talk about it, we’ll say, ‘I work eight hours a day, seven days a week.’ And that is 100% true.” He doesn’t run, he doesn’t sprint, he doesn’t take off, he doesn’t run. This is different.“If I could compare, I would. But we are not stupid. It’s just a difference in intensity, and as we know, the human body has a very difficult time processing it. “As we speak, UEFA and FIFA will probably create a new tournament and hold it somewhere. A sudden winter break in January is the least of our problems. The least of our problems.
