Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp expresses his worry of Chelsea star Eden Hazard but has plans to stop the passes before reaching the Belgian international.
Liverpool will face Chelsea in the Premier League match at Anfield on Sunday night, but Klopp thinks the Reds should give up possession of the ball to prevent the 28-year-old from spoiling his title with Manchester City this season.
Maurizio Sarri’s men have been in top form this season, scoring 16 Premier League goals for the West London club.
When asked how he planned to stop Hazard on Sunday, Klopp told reporters on Friday at a press conference given to the British press: “We will take 13 players this time, and two will only play against Eden.
“We have to make sure Hazard can not shine. Stop the passes, react better than the other teams.
“When he has the ball, already too late. Read the game, read the passes. In one against one, you can not defend it.
“That day, he can be the best in the world immediately. He has had a brilliant career so far, and it’s not over yet.
“I like his joy, his cheek too, his strength, his speed, he’s a good player!” But all good players must play against us and we must try everything. “
