in a Club World Cup semi-final in Qatar.
"We have to cut off games not put more in. Until then we have to do what we do," said Klopp.
Klopp will fly to Qatar with a senior 23-man squad on Sunday morning.

Liverpool are among six Premier League clubs reportedly supporting plans to expand the Champions League group stage to
32 teams, a proposal which could apparently see the abolition of FA Cup replays and the removal of the second leg of the
League Cup semi-final.
"Today I read the top clubs want more <a href="https://bkbi9ir312.tistory.com/137" target="_blank">±¸»êµ¿¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç</a><br />
games in the Champions League," said Klopp. "I am not involved in these plans. That's absolute bollocks."

Liverpool are competing in seven competitions this season and could play up to 67 games in 300 days if they go all the way
in each of them - an average of a game every 4.5 days.
