A first encounter between Greuther and Liverpool takes place behind closed doors.

Liverpool’s training camp in Germany will come to a close as they encounter a specific 2 behind closed doors.

for the first time, a Bundesliga team.

The Reds defeated Karlsruher 4-2 to begin their preseason, coming from behind twice in stoppage time to secure the victory. Diogo Jota scored both of those goals.

As the start of the Premier League season approaches, Jurgen Klopp will be hoping to learn more about his players, both new and old, during their upcoming friendly against Greuther Furth on Monday.

Without spectators present, Liverpool will try to finish the Germany portion of their preseason with a victory and a strong showing.

Now that we know who the opponents are and how to watch, let’s look at the game.

Greuther Furth, who are they?

Currently playing in the second tier of German football, Greuther Furth are led by former RB Leipzig and Stuttgart manager Alexander Zorniger.

They came in at number twelve in both. With 41 points from 34 games, they finished in the middle of the table in the Bundesliga last year.

After a brief stint in the top division, Greuther Furth was demoted in 2021/22 after comfortably finishing last in the standings and only recording three league victories for the entire campaign.

But not for Klopp, it’s a first encounter 

The first competitive or non-competitive encounter between the two sides will take place on Monday.

Klopp has faced the German team before, though; in the 2011–12 DFB-Pokal semifinal, Borussia Dortmund prevailed thanks to a dramatic Ilkay Gundogan goal in extra time.

While playing for Mainz in 1998, the manager faced the team on Monday and scored a goal in a 3-0 victory.

How to view.

At 12 p.m. (BST), or 1 p.m. local time in Germany, the game begins.

What needs to be resolved in the ideal Liverpool summer? Jürgen Klopp’s signing of Roméo Lavia and transfer strategy

Roméo Lavia is one of those coveted at Anfield, and Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has confirmed that there will be more transfers before the season starts.

The match that will mark Liverpool’s Premier League season opener against Chelsea is now exactly three weeks away. While Jürgen Klopp’s team does not have much time left to prepare and complete new signings, the Reds are by no means the only team with a lot of work to do.

Liverpool would obviously want to have everything sorted out before the transfer deadline, which isn’t until the end of August, in a perfect world. That appeared to be on track up until the shocking news that Jordan Henderson and Fabinho were leaving the team.

Liverpool, however, will now need to act quickly. Since 18-year-old Stefan Bajeti is still working his way back to full fitness after the injury that ended his breakout season last March, it lacks a natural holding midfielder who is currently available and fit without Fabinho.

On the recently released We Are Liverpool podcast, Klopp said, “There are so many things to do. “The window for transfers is open. Having 28 hours in a day would not be a problem for me at the moment because I could easily fill them!

“With everything you have to do left and right, my primary focus and energy must be directed toward the training sessions, so that’s what I do. After the sessions, I can try to assist with other things.

“The first game of the season is still three and a half weeks away. There are undoubtedly a few transfer market-related events that must take place before then. Now it’s obvious what I mean. And it will take place. There needs to be an influx of new players. Our team will be strong. “.

Liverpool has been considering a variety of midfielders because the strategy is very clear. Which one or ones will be chosen to ensure that there are enough people in the pitch’s center is the question at hand.

Roméo Lavia is one player who is admired, and this was the case even before Fabinho and Henderson attracted attention. The 19-year-old, who Southampton values at $64 million (£50 million/€58 million), is offered for the right price.

However, given his youth and inexperience, signing Lavia alone would be risky. Adding a more seasoned candidate in addition to the Belgian would undoubtedly make sense.

After the midfield is settled, Liverpool still needs to find a left-sided center-back because a deal for Levi Colwill is currently uncertain to be feasible. The highly regarded defender won’t be leaving Chelsea, Chelsea maintains.

Given the uncertainty surrounding both Jol Matip and Joe Gomez, who both prefer playing on the right, Liverpool would be taking a risk if they started the new campaign without adding another center-back.

The goal is to bring three new players to Anfield before the deadline, but two signings are required. It would be ideal to add at least one of those midfielders this week so they have time to adjust before the trip to Stamford Bridge.

Although there is still time to complete deals, the sooner the right hires can be made, the better, as time is running out before the match against Chelsea.
