Liverpool asks to change the date of the match against Newcastle

Klopp’s boys are alive in all competitions, something that disrupts the German’s plans. Known the pairing of him in the semifinal of the Champions League against Villarreal, the club from the northwest of England has requested the Premier League to delay your scheduled game for on Saturday 30 April at St James’ Park at 12:30 (local time).

The meeting is set to be played between the duel in Anfield against those of Unai Emery on Wednesday, April 27, and the return, in Villarreal, just three days later. Although Klopp assured in the press conference prior to this weekend’s commitment in the FA Cup that a calendar is a good sign, but that the schedules will make his work and that of his footballers difficult: “I want to play 12 more games. It is the best calendar we can have, because it means that we are still alive in all competitions”.

“I understand that there are people who want to watch a football match between Liverpool and Newcastle United, but I don’t understand why a team should have an advantage or a disadvantage.. The league and the televisions should try to lend a hand. We will see. I haven’t heard anything about it yet. Nobody from BT (one of the English channels with Premier League broadcast rights) He has contacted me yet, but I think common sense should indicate that this is the right thing to do, to delay the match for a few days.”.
