Liverpool has been a regular in the Champions League in recent years, but after a poor season last time out, the Merseyside club will now play in the Europa League.
The competition has previously caused issues for teams’ league campaigns due to the Thursday/Sunday schedule, and Joel Matip of Liverpool thinks this will affect the Reds as well in the upcoming months. According to the Liverpool Echo, the center-back said about the subject: “Playing on Thursday night and Sunday afternoons is not the best combination, but many teams do it and we should too. “Since we frequently play on Wednesdays, this is nothing new to us, but naturally, it means that whenever we play in the Europa League, there are always just two days in between.”.
Since recovery always takes longer than training, there isn’t much time to get ready for the weekend game. However, we are all willing to give it our all because we all want to play European football. “.
