There were a few hotly debated issues during Jurgen Klopp's last public interview in front of the Champions League last - none more so than the condition of the recently laid pitch at Stade de France.While Klopp did communicate worries about the condition of the field in Paris, the Liverpool supervisor would have rather not concocted pre-match pardons as his group gears up to confront Real Madrid on Saturday night.
The two clubs will clash in the Champions League last, which was moved from the Russian city of St Petersburg to the French capital because of the continuous struggle in Ukraine.
At the point when gotten some information about the state of the playing surface, Klopp said: "Typically when I say the pitch looks new, that is uplifting news. This pitch is new since yesterday, which isn't the most ideal information - however it will be no different for the two groups.
"I saw the refs with their meeting and the uplifting news is, the ball drops ordinary.
"You can see the lines where they put the bits of the pitch (together), which is what we aren't utilized to."That somebody thought it was really smart to bring the pitch the day preceding to the arena is an intriguing thought.
"However, it didn't kill my mind-set a percent. I'm truly cheerful we are here, I would have played the game on petanque."
The new turf was driven more than 600 miles from northern Spain and introduced on Thursday.
Stade de France is set for a bustling timetable, with two Nations League games occurring in June, as well as the Top 14 rugby association final."I think the two groups are specialized groups and you would wish - in a fantasy land - that the pitch is the best you at any point found in your life," added Klopp.
"That is clearly not the situation. You will hear something very similar from (Real Madrid chief) Carlo (Ancelotti).
"Certainly, in the event that you win you couldn't care less about the pitch, that is not difficult to say. I don't have any idea how terrible or great it is, I just saw it. Perhaps it's ideal however it looks flawed.
"However, I trust nobody makes a tale about 'Klopp groaning about the pitch' - I'm fine. I saw it and it could appear to be unique however we should get a vibe of it."Normally these sort of meetings are for media, we are made to come, yet today I am truly cheerful we are here so we can feel it and pass a couple of balls on it."
Genuine Madrid manager Ancelotti was somewhat more saved in his remarks.
"Indeed, I realized they planned to transform it yet we haven't been out there at this point and prepared. I don't figure it will be an issue," he said.
"I can't judge that and say in the event that he is correct or not as I haven't been out on the pitch at this point."
