Games against Leicester, Bayern Munich in Singapore to set the tone for Liverpool’s season: Jurgen Klopp

His team held an open training session at the National Stadium on Saturday, which was attended by 15,000 spectators, and Klopp joked beforehand that he hoped he would not have to use a microphone to talk to the players due to non-stop screaming. 

The fans were in good spirits, cheering their heroes on and performing several rounds of the Kallang wave throughout the 90-minute training session.

Afterwards, the players took a lap around the National Stadium, where they signed autographs and took wefies with the supporters.

Leicester manager Enzo Maresca, who took over the Foxes’ hotseat in the summer after they were relegated from the EPL in May, is under no illusions about Sunday’s game, calling the opposition “the best team in the world in terms of transition” and “the best team probably in terms of pressing”.

The football events are part of the inaugural Singapore Festival of Football Driven by CDG Zig, running from Jul 26 to Aug 2.

In Wednesday’s opening match, Tottenham Hotspur beat Singapore Premier League outfit Lion City Sailors 5-1.
