Think I read earlier all the games are being played on the same pitch?! Shocking if that’s true, the pitch is going to get bad and be a higher chance of injuries. Seems like it’s been badly organised this year.
It was Klopp saying that about all the games being in the same place from here on and the forecast being for rain.
I guess that is due to the stadium we were originally set for not getting its permits in time. There are four stadiums in or near Doha scheduled to be used at The 2022 World Cup, but three of them are under construction or renovation. The early-round matches including today's, were at a stadium with a 12,000 seating capacity. The one for the remaining matches seats 45,000,
So as you say, the semifinals, consolation final and main final are all being played at the same ground. Klopp has to be concerned with injuries from the pitch the same as you and the rest of us. I won't even get started at what kind of crap show the World Cup might be in a few years, but my concern is our team in the middle of a potentially historic season.
I was/am fired up for winning this trophy but now I have to wonder if it is going to be worth it (clearly not if it jeopardizes our Premier League or Champions League campaign). I guess it all depends on what the next few days show us.
