Liverpool‘s Asian preseason tour is over. And they have returned to Merseyside with the details of their two-week pre-season itinerary. This will take them across three nations.
Jurgen Klopp and his players have left Asia after a week of practice, media appearances, and commercial activity. And also friendlies against Man United and Crystal Palace.
Liverpool’s 2-0 victory versus Palace on Friday marked a fitting conclusion to a successful run. During this time the team travelled to Thailand and Singapore for the first time for pre-season friendlies.
Liverpool also faced a devastating loss to bitter rivals Man United. Where they lost 4-0 to Man U.
As complimentary as Klopp was of the warm welcome extended in the two nations, he will be looking forward to the second half of preseason.
Since it has become customary, Liverpool will travel to Austria for a training camp. Although the exact date of their departure was unknown.
