Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, says his team will adapt to the level and quality of Real Madrid during the Champions League final on Saturday.
Klopp said Liverpool may change their style to have the best chance of beating more experienced Zinedine Zidane’s men in Kiev.
He told reporters, “I never thought about my philosophy [when I arrived at Liverpool].
“I only thought about the game. We adapted constantly to the next level the players gave us the opportunity to.
“We’ve always tried to play the football suited to the players. We think this style of football makes us as successful as possible.
“We’ll adapt to the level and quality of Real Madrid tomorrow. We don’t want to ignore that. We’re interested in their skills.
“We should be prepared after a little session tonight and then we can show what we know about Madrid. It’s possible [we can win].
“I believe in using your own strengths, first. And then you adapt to what the opponent is asking for. That’s exactly 50/50.
“We have an early agreement – I am responsible for the defeats.
“The boys are responsible for all the things we win. If we don’t win I can respond to that, 100 per cent.
“We’ve spoken about all the things but at the end, the main message is all the things we’ve worked on, since we were together, are made for being used in a game like tomorrow.
“It’s all about football. I think most of the players will be nervous. It’s a normal feeling, then do what you do best. Play football.
“Fight with your mates. Shoot, cross, make headers, bicycle kicks. Do the things you want. It’s only a football game. A big one, for sure, but we’ll try and deal with it as normal as possible.”
