Jurgen Klopp spoke at his pre-match press conference ahead of Liverpool’s Premier League game against Watford at Anfield on Saturday.
The press conference followed the Champions League draw earlier in the day, with Klopp fuming about next month’s Merseyside derby against Everton being switched to a Saturday lunchtime kick off, in between the two legs against Manchester City.
“We play 7.45pm on Wednesday night and then 12.30pm on Saturday,” Klopp told reporters.
“That extra five hours means the world in terms of recovery – why not have it at 3pm, rather than after breakfast?
“Other leagues [reschedule] the entire game for another time to help their teams prepare; we play three days later.
“It’s not too cool, we have to go the hard way.”
