Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp angry with their preseason programme.

His side have been going through gruelling preparations in the US this week to get ready to hit the ground running in the Premier League.

But they have struggled in games losing to both Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla in stifling temperatures during a heat wave in the US.

They have six competitions this year seven if you include the Community Shield against Manchester City a week on Sunday so it set to be a demanding season.

Klopp said: But then England and the Premier League, it starts the earliest? Huh? Where is the space for training? Come on!

It looks like nobody can imagine a week without football in the year. When did that happen? A game again, a game again.

It is difficult, difficult for the boys. Everything will be fine this season. But in the long-term? We have to change it.

There must be breaks. Come on, let them go. Be brave. Don't treat every game like it is the last of a decade.

The pressure is everywhere. We need to calm this down. We need proper breaks, then you will get world class performances.

Then you can enjoy these boys in the long-term and it will be easier for the younger ones to come through."
