Some comments from Jürgen on the start of training being a little different this year because of a shorter time-span. He also mentioned that the location of this camp was changed from Evian, France to Salzburg, Austria in just the past week because of a quarantine situation between England and France.
“We never start with pure running, but of course the boys didn't lose a lot,” Klopp said. “The plan for them was really rest for two weeks and then start with physical work for five days, so they didn't lose anything pretty much.
“So we don't do testing, like an endurance test or whatever which we usually do, it's not necessary. We don't have time for it on the other side because we play, meanwhile, in 13 days, our first competitive game [against Arsenal].
“It's, of course, different because the status, the level is different, so the ball will be involved pretty much all the time but some running sessions will be there as well.”
