Got to be honest, I think in the past Liverpool as a club probably didn’t take this serious enough, stories of Liverpool players drinking, playing golf etc prior to playing Flamenco explains all we need to know, that was the culture back then, it wasn’t out of the ordinary for players to go on a jolly after a match day, I think most top division players did similar with their respective clubs,
So for a club so successful as Liverpool were, to be invited to such a occasion was seen as a nice wee couple of days out in the sunshine, a few beers, relax, do some bonding, perhaps with the local females and chuck in a couple of games for bums on seats making a fast buck for the powers at be,
Bit different this time round though, Jürgen Wants this trophy, and the prestige that comes with it, not to mention the historical value, so do the players, people may see it as a waste of time, and not particularly ideal with the timing, but with everything else Jürgen has been involved with, there are no negative undertones, he and his staff get on with and deal with it the best they can, it is what it is as he says on a consistent basis, could it have been rescheduled perhaps but there was never ever a perfect time for what is essentially a one off competition ,
As ever Jürgen will look at the positives rather than anything else, he’ll use it more as a mini break with a couple of serious games to boot,
So in 90 mins time we face a South American outfit who will test us, and we will obviously test them, and it will come down to who is the fairest of them all , or in other words who are the fittest, we keep it tight for a good half hour save the legs then with our ability to control we should get the better of them.
Really looking forward to this now.
