Be ruthless or trophyless, cautions Robertson

Be ruthless or trophyless, cautions Robertson
MADRID • Andy Robertson has warned his Liverpool teammates their impressive form over the past nine months entitles them to nothing when it comes to trophies.
The Scottish left-back has urged Jurgen Klopp's side to be ruthless when they face Tottenham in today's Champions League final.
Liverpool won plenty of credit for keeping pace with Manchester City in this season's Premier League title race, despite ultimately finishing a point adrift of the champions.
Yet, Robertson, 25, is aware that it would be "stupid" for the Reds to fall into the trap of believing they deserve silverware just because they have played so well throughout the season.
"I've heard a few people say that, but we don't deserve anything," he said. "At the end of the day, I think the Premier League shows that.
"We got 97 points and a lot of people would say that deserves the Premier League title, but it didn't, because Manchester City got 98.
"So we deserve nothing - we only deserve what we put into the game. We're not going into this game thinking that because we got 97 points and we played well this season, we deserve it, because it would be stupid of us."

  Key battles: Liverpool v Tottenham 

  
  


• 
  SADIO MANE V KIERAN TRIPPIER
  Trippier was the best right-back at the World Cup but, after losing his place in the England squad and being troubled in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, looks a weak link now. This offers a real advantage for Liverpool: Mane, the scorer of 17 goals already in 2019 and one in last season's Champions League final, is in terrific form.
  


• 
  FABINHO V DELE ALLI
  Alli is a survivor of that first meeting between Pochettino and Klopp. A player with a reputation for scoring in major matches has gone four months without a goal. Fabinho, meanwhile, has progressed as Alli has regressed. He helped Liverpool pilfer victory in the league meeting at Anfield as an influential substitute, but should start now.
  


• 
  VIRGIL VAN DIJK V SON HEUNG-MIN
  Perhaps van Dijk's most symbolic piece of defending this season involved Son, shepherding the less dangerous Moussa Sissoko to shoot at Anfield rather than pass to Son. The South Korean was the quarter-final hero, scoring three goals against Manchester City. Pochettino must decide whether to pick him alongside Harry Kane, or instead of the Englishman. 
  Richard Jolly
  

Liverpool beat Spurs twice in the league, winning 2-1 at Wembley in September and then by the same score at Anfield in late March.
Robertson, though, has not forgotten the 4-1 defeat they suffered at White Hart Lane in October 2017.
He said: "We've been ruthless this season, but it's about being ruthless again; we need to take it into Saturday."
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, meanwhile, is keen to make a decisive contribution today and help lay to rest the demons of the defeat by Real Madrid a year ago.
The Egyptian injured his shoulder in a clash with Real defender Sergio Ramos during last year's final in Kiev and was forced to leave the field after half an hour.
Liverpool went on to lose 3-1 and Salah is fired up by the thought of scoring the winner this time.
"I hope I can play the full game this time. I'm very excited," he said.
"I hope we can right what happened last season, get a good result and win the competition.
"Scoring the winner is not just a dream, I hope it becomes a reality and I score in the final."

Football: Arrizabalaga dropped as Chelsea beat Tottenham 2-0

Football: Arrizabalaga dropped as Chelsea beat Tottenham 2-0

LONDON (REUTERS) - Chelsea put their tumultuous League Cup final defeat behind them to revive their top-four hopes with a 2-0 victory over stuttering Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday (Feb 27).
Under-pressure manager Maurizio Sarri made the bold decision to drop goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in favour of Willy Caballero after the Spaniard's antics against Manchester City at Wembley on Sunday when he refused to be substituted.
But Chelsea showed they are still behind the Italian with a deserved vicory over their London rivals thanks to Pedro's opener midway through the second half and a comical Kieran Trippier own goal late on.
Chelsea remained in sixth spot, three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal having played a game less.
Third-placed Tottenham's slim title hopes now look extinguished after a second successive league defeat and they could have few complaints after a disappointing derby display.
Gonzalo Higuain was denied by the post early on for Chelsea while Spurs midfielder Harry Winks rattled the crossbar just before halftime.
Pedro fired Chelsea in front in the 57th minute, turning inside Toby Alderweireld before beating Hugo Lloris from a tight angle.
Tottenham huffed and puffed but shot themselves in the foot in the 84th minute when Trippier and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris got in a tangle and the full back's attempted back pass rolled in.
Tottenham are four points above Arsenal, who they host on Saturday, and five points above Manchester United.

Football: Liverpool's Klopp fined over referee comments

Football: Liverpool's Klopp fined over referee comments

LONDON (AFP) - Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was fined £45,000 (S$80,000) by the Football Association on Thursday (Feb 21) for suggesting referee Kevin Friend had favoured West Ham in his side's 1-1 draw at the London Stadium earlier this month.
Klopp, whose side are currently second on goal difference in the Premier League behind Manchester City, said he thought Friend realised he should have ruled out Sadio Mane's 22nd-minute opener as James Milner was clearly offside in the build-up and tried to make up for it over the remainder of the game.
"Jurgen Klopp has been fined £45,000 after accepting an FA charge for comments made following Liverpool's league game against West Ham United on Feb 4, 2019," the FA said in a statement.
"His comments made during a post-match interview breached FA Rule E3(1), as they questioned the integrity of the match referee and/or implied bias."
In December, Klopp was fined £8,000 after he charged onto the pitch to hug goalkeeper Alisson Becker following his side's late derby win against Everton at Anfield.

Football: Liverpool back on top as late own goal secures 2-1 win over Tottenham

(AFP) - Liverpool moved back top of the Premier League in dramatic fashion as Toby Alderweireld's last-minute own goal beat Tottenham 2-1 at Anfield on Sunday (March 31).
Jurgen Klopp's side move two points clear of Manchester City once more at the top of the table, but City have a game in hand.
Liverpool's hopes of ending a 29-year wait to win the title looked set to be dealt a massive blow as Lucas Moura's strike 20 minutes from time cancelled out Roberto Firmino's early opener.
However, Hugo Lloris could only palm Mohamed Salah's header into the path of the unfortunate Alderweireld to condemn Tottenham to a fourth defeat in five Premier League games.
Spurs are now in serious danger of crashing out of the top four as they remain level on points with Manchester United and could be usurped by north London rivals Arsenal into third should the Gunners beat Newcastle on Monday.
And the visitors will be left to regret a huge missed chance by Moussa Sissoko five minutes from time when Liverpool were wobbling.
The hosts had got off to the perfect start when Firmino headed home the opener on 16 minutes from a delightful Andy Robertson cross.

 
That was Robertson's 12th assist of the season from left-back and the Scotland captain was involved again in a flowing move moments later as he forged down the left and neat touches from Salah, and Georginio Wijnaldum teed up Sadio Mane to curl just wide.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was serving the last of a two-game touchline ban and without the guiding hand of the Argentine, they lacked inspiration in the final third.
However, Liverpool were often causing their own problems by gifting away possession inside their own half and Dele Alli pounced on a slack pass by his England teammate Jordan Henderson to power a volley that dipped just over the bar with Spurs' best effort of the first-half.
Virgil van Dijk had a great chance to double the hosts' lead at the start of the second period, but the Dutch defender headed over after a well-worked short corner between Trent Alexander-Arnold and James Milner.
However, Liverpool were thankful again to Robertson at the other end as he made a vital block to prevent Christian Eriksen firing home the rebound after Alisson Becker was forced into his first save of the afternoon by Harry Kane.
When these two sides met at Anfield last season, Salah scored one his many goal of the season candidates amidst an incredible 44-goal campaign.
The Egyptian still has a respectable 20 this season, but only one of those has come in the last 11 games and he passed up a great chance to give Liverpool some badly needing breathing space when his shot was blocked by Alderweireld with Mane better placed and begging for a pass.
That missed opportunity looked costly as Tottenham struck back. Kane's quick thinking and excellent long-range pass picked out Kieran Trippier, who fed Eriksen and his scuffed shot fell perfectly for Moura to turn home.
As Liverpool surged forward in search of a winner, Spurs could have picked them off as Sissoko blazed over with just Alisson to beat before Alli clipped a shot inches wide.
Instead, there was delirium in front of the Kop end as Lloris should have handled Salah's header, but instead parried the ball into Alderweireld and the ball ricocheted over the line to breathe fresh life into Liverpool's title challenge.

Football: 'Brilliant' Reds have belief

Football: 'Brilliant' Reds have belief

LONDON • Jurgen Klopp has described Liverpool as the best team he has taken to a Cup final and believes defeat in Kiev last May focused their mindset on winning this season's Champions League.
The Reds are aiming to become champions of Europe for a sixth time - and their manager to break a sequence of six consecutive final defeats - when they face Tottenham in Madrid on Saturday.
Klopp insists his team are completely different from the one that endured a painful 3-1 defeat in last season's final against Real Madrid, when he claimed Liverpool were happy to simply surpass expectations and reach the Ukraine capital.
Now, the German maintains, his team will be satisfied only with lifting the first trophy of his Anfield reign. And he has the best opportunity to end that wait on Saturday, given the quality and character at his disposal.
"I don't like to blame my other teams. I love them all. They all gave everything, but I have never been part of a final with a better team than this," the 51-year-old told a news conference on Tuesday.
"Our boys mixed our potential with attitude in the best way I have witnessed. That is brilliant, exceptional, and it brought us to where we are. I would say nobody believed more in this team than the team themselves.
"That is why we are here."

REDEMPTION BECKONS
Every team that lose a final think they will put it right. It's like a medicine that tastes disgusting. But it helps you. It can reinvigorate you.
JURGEN KLOPP, Liverpool manager, believes his side have reacted positively after falling at the final hurdle last season.

AN EXCEPTIONAL SQUAD
I don't like to blame my other teams. I love them all. They all gave everything, but I have never been part of a final with a better team than this.
KLOPP, bullish about ending his poor record of six straight Cup final losses with Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund.

Klopp has lost all three finals he has reached with Liverpool, in Europe and domestically, and he also tasted defeat in two German Cups and a Champions League final with his previous Bundesliga team Borussia Dortmund.
He noticed a determination to put things right after the loss to Real as soon as the players resumed pre-season training last summer.
"It had a big influence on us," he said. "When we stood in the queue in the airport in Kiev on the way home, all in tracksuits, heads down, disappointed, there were a lot of different emotions. But the plan was, we come again. Now we are there, that is just incredible.
"I think every team that lose a final think they will put it right. It's like a medicine that tastes disgusting. But it helps you. It can reinvigorate you.
"You can use it as extra motivation and that's exactly what we did. If you look at it now, it's not a bad thing that we lost the final last year.
"It was the kick-start for the development of this team. From the first day of pre-season when we were all together, it was a big step for the boys. This team is not even to be compared with the team of last year. Last year, we wanted to be in Kiev. This year, we wanted to win it wherever the final is. There's a big difference just in our mindset."
The Liverpool boss confirmed Naby Keita will miss the final with the groin injury he suffered during the second leg of the semi-final at Barcelona while Roberto Firmino, who missed Liverpool's past three matches because of a muscle problem, is on course to play.
Klopp, who is aware that Spurs are no pushovers, also admitted that a Champions League triumph would rank as the highlight of his career.
"We know it's difficult, Tottenham knows it's difficult, so let's play a game and win it," he said.
"The biggest moment of my career was getting promoted with Mainz in 2004. But winning the Champions League with Liverpool? That would make me think of something new."

Football: 'Pray for no rain' as Manchester City return to China after Beijing debacle

SHANGHAI (AFP) - Manchester City will return to China this year for the first time since their ill-fated visit of 2016, when a game with cross-town rivals United was called off at the last minute.
The first overseas Manchester derby was cancelled just hours before kick-off because of an unplayable surface at Beijing's "Bird's Nest" stadium following heavy rain.
Pep Guardiola's City will hope there is no repeat when they compete in the 2019 Premier League Asia Trophy, which will be held in Nanjing on July 17 and nearby Shanghai on July 20.
The other teams will be Newcastle United, West Ham United and Chinese-owned Wolverhampton Wanderers, the Premier League said on Tuesday (March 26).
Each side will play two games in the mini tournament, which is likely to be testing for the players with peak temperatures over 30 deg C and the possibility of torrential rain.
The Asia Trophy was similarly dogged by pitch problems - again after rain - when it was held in Hong Kong in 2013.
Then-Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio labelled the muddy surface "a killer pitch" and Tottenham Hotspur's Jan Vertonghen suffered an ankle injury on the waterlogged surface.
While uncomfortable conditions for players and disruptive to managers' pre-season preparations, the Premier League and clubs see such trips as a prime opportunity to grow their fan bases in China, the world's second-biggest economy.
City recently purchased a stake in Chinese third-tier club Sichuan Jiuniu as part of their overseas expansion drive.

 
"In Manchester City we have the reigning Premier League champions competing for the trophy," the league's interim chief executive Richard Masters said when naming the July line-up.
"I have no doubt the fans can expect some competitive and thrilling Premier League action."
A glut of European football clubs look set to visit China in pre-season, with Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur also committed to coming.

LONDON • Pundits and experts alike had predicted a quiet January transfer window and so it proved on deadline day yesterday, with Premier League clubs prioritising loan deals, often with an option to buy in the summer, rather than permanent signings.
Arsenal announced the signing of Spain midfielder Denis Suarez on loan from Barcelona for the rest of the term, with a view to purchase for £20 million (S$35.3 million) in the close season.
The 25-year-old will link up again with Unai Emery, whom he worked with during a loan spell at Sevilla in 2014-15.
The Gunners boss said on the club website: "He is a player we know well and he brings us quality and options in many different attacking positions."
Suarez, who could make his debut on Sunday at his former club Manchester City, barely featured for the Spanish champions this season, with only two LaLiga appearances off the bench.
But he said he had come to the Emirates to play as much as possible and try to help the team qualify for the Champions League.
Endearing himself to the home faithful by claiming he would "like to win the Europa League with Arsenal", he said: "(They) were a team that really inspired me. I used to watch (Dennis) Bergkamp and (Thierry) Henry. They're both legends of the club and, hopefully, we can follow in their footsteps."
Manchester United also strengthened their squad - by securing the long-term future of a key player.
They announced a new deal for Anthony Martial, whose contract situation had been uncertain earlier in the season, which will keep him at the club until 2024.
It is thought the France forward would have left had Jose Mourinho still been in charge, but his sacking and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's appointment as caretaker boss prompted the turnaround.
Solskjaer was also pleased that the 23-year-old, who has eight goals in 18 league games, had committed his best years to United, hailing him as "one of those naturally gifted players that any coach would love to work with".
There was, however, an imminent exit at Old Trafford, with Marouane Fellaini agreeing a £10.4 million move to Chinese Super League outfit Shandong Luneng. Yesterday, the Belgium midfielder posted a picture of himself at the airport preparing to jet off to China on Instagram. According to the Daily Mail, the 31-year-old will earn £235,000 a week.
At press time, the biggest surprise of the window appeared to be Newcastle owner Mike Ashley finally dipping into his pockets to appease their long-suffering fans.
The Magpies broke their transfer record, which had stood for 14 years when they landed Michael Owen for £16.8 million in 2005, with the capture of Miguel Almiron from Major League Soccer side Atlanta for £21 million.
Rafael Benitez had been tracking the Paraguay midfielder, who is widely considered one of the best talents in the MLS, for a year and was delighted to have finally secured the 24-year-old's services.
The manager told the club website: "His impact in MLS has been really good. He's been one of the best players this year and, hopefully, he can give us more competition and more quality in the final third."
