Jurgen Klopp insists becoming the first manager to guide Liverpool to a Club World Cup title isn't important to himLiverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says there is "no extra pressure" to deliver the team's first Club World Cup title at next month's tournament in Qatar. "I'm not someone who has to be the first on the moon or the first winning the World Cup with Liverpool, but when we're there we'll try with all we have," Klopp told the FIFA website. Liverpool outclassed Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in the Champions League final in June to claim their sixth European Cup and followed that by beating Europa League winners Chelsea 5-4 on penalties to lift the UEFA Super Cup. Such is the fixture crunch that Liverpool are set to field two different squads in the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Aston Villa on Decemeber 17 and Club World Cup the following day due to a lack of available dates to postpone the domestic game. "Unfortunately, we won't round off 2019 in that moment (with the Club World Cup trophy) because there will be games to come before the year ends," said Klopp, whose side play 12 games across four competitions between November 23 and January 2.
