Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp has assured fans that they will still be felt at the empty stadium when ‘Project Restart” kicks off on Sunday, June 21, 2020.

The boss on Tuesday, June 16, 2020, relayed a message to fans to stay home and stay safe asserting that they “are still the 80 and 90 percent of the petrol in our tanks.”

Liverpool are 25 points atop the league having lost against Watford and drawn at Old Trafford, the whole season.

The Reds need to win two games and be crowned, as English Champions. 

They will recommence their campaign in a Merseyside derby behind closed doors.

According to Klopp, although the atmosphere will never be the same without the Kop choir yet it is needful for fans to observe the laid down protocols.

He assured that “there will be a moment when we all, the whole 300, 400 million choirs can sing it and that’s the moment we are all waiting for. But until then we still play football and I said in the beginning, it will be completely different but it’s still football and it’s still for you. So that means we will be in the stadium, you will be at home. I can promise you, we will feel your support. I will make the boys feel your support.”

Full Message:

Football is back. It would be obviously for some reasons completely different but you can still make it really really special. A lot of things we already said in the last weeks, a lot of things we talked about in the last two weeks, let's go a little bit back a few months. When we all got aware of the really special problem we will have from now on, all together in the same moment the whole moment.

There was some moment when we all realized that obviously football is not as important as we thought the night before when we played against Athletico. I think that is a good lesson, the most important lesson, not for me not for you especially we all know that we knew that we have our own problems, we have family. Health was always above all the other things especially, health of our loved ones.

We had to show responsibility and we showed responsibility. There were times when we didn’t know exactly if we would play again in the season. There were rumors there about null and void, points per game all this stuff and now we stand here and in a couple of days, the league will start again because we behaved really responsible. We showed responsibility and we did the things we had to do because we want to save our loved ones and all the others as well.

 

 

So here is the point now. The league starts again, which is great. So we can play again and we can go for our massively big target again and for this we need you. We always needed you.

All the things are really special because of you. We had now a few sessions and games, internal games and one against Blackburn in our stadium and the biggest difference was, before the game, You’ll Never walk alone without you, it's still a wonderful song, still great to hear but without you, it’s not even five percent, but that’s how we have to take in a moment. There will be a moment when we all, the whole 300-400 million choir can sing it and that’s the moment we are all waiting for. But until then we still play football and I said in the beginning, it will be completely different but it’s still football and it’s still for you.

 

 

So that means we will be in the stadium, you will be at home. I can promise you, we will feel your support. I will make the boys feel your support. We will use it. You are still the 80 and 90 percent of the petrol in our tanks. So we really will use that and we will need that. But the final message, Stay safe support us from home. We are still with you and You’ll Never walk Alone.
