Because every other major league is still suspended, the eyes of the world will be on Germany this weekend. And there will be one especially ardent observer in Liverpool. Before moving to Liverpool, Klopp, who led Dortmund from 2008 to 2015. He was in touch with his former boss about the return of football to his native country.

On the other hand, the question is whether we can fulfill all the frameworks with all the requirements and the security concept, how we represent all this, and how necessary. This pressure is enormous.”
