Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp flexes muscles in defiant Reds promise

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has insisted that fans will see a resurgent Reds side after the World Cup. The German’s team have not been at their best this season and sit a remarkable 12 points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal. A shock defeat by Nottingham Forest last time out means Liverpool are now scrambling for points. They face Leeds on Saturday as they seek to turn their campaign around, with a magnificent 3-0 Champions League win over Ajax in midweek providing momentum. And Klopp believes his side will experience a marked improvement when club football returns on December 26 following the Qatar World Cup. The former Borussia Dortmund head coach provided a hilarious response when quizzed on his team’s chances of a miraculous revival. Asked if fans will see an improved Liverpool team in the new year, Klopp clenched his fists above his head and declared: ‘If different mean this, then YES!’JUST IN: What Klopp ‘told’ Tottenham’s Son as Liverpool transfer on the cards Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists his side will improve after the World Cup (Image: GETTY IMAGES)He continued: ‘So, yes we will be different, yes we will have trained, yes we will have players back but it also depends on how the players come back from the World Cup. I have no idea about that. ‘If they all come back healthy from the World Cup…. if they all go out early and have a break and can then train with us for three and a half weeks that would be absolutely outstanding but there are  a lot of ‘ifs.”Liverpool are expected to welcome back attacking heavyweights Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz after the World Cup.
