Liverpool are back in training when Andy Robertson’s attempt to get more days off fails

Liverpool’s Premier League heroes returned to Melwood on Saturday for the first time since they were crowned champions – after Jürgen Klopp dismissed Andy Robertson’s requests for extra days off.

Left-back Robertson had tried to make coach Klopp so drunk that he agreed on two days off to celebrate winning the Premier League for the first time in club history.

“We’re still trying to convince the boss below to give us a few days off! Give him a few more beers and I think we have two days off, ”Andy Robertson joked about the Match of the Day.

Shortly after Gini Wijnaldum admitted: “I don’t think it worked because I didn’t see anything in the WhatsApp group. I don’t think so [Klopp] drunk enough! “

And it looks like Wijnaldum was right and the team didn’t provide their gaffer with enough drink when he and his teammates were back at the training ground.

Mohamed Salah, Adam Lallana, Xherdan Shaqiri and James Milner were among those who arrived in Melwood.

The Reds were confirmed champions on Thursday night after seven games to play after their closest rival lost Manchester City to Chelsea.

This triggered festive scenes in the hotel where the club is located on the outskirts of Liverpool – which lasted until the early hours of Friday when the players drank the club’s first championship title for 30 years.

Liverpool are back in action against City on Thursday, and the carrot of a record score hangs in front of them.

Robertson pondered last season’s triumph of the Champions League last Thursday.

“It was a personal night,” thought a weary Robertson on Friday morning. “In Madrid we all had our families there, but there were also business people there and it was a big party, more of a social party. The last night was probably more emotional.

“You have to do more one-on-one, group, and think about the season. It was really personal last night. Only the people who have been to Melwood every day for the past 12 months have been there. It did it, it’s so special.

“We all got together and we all hoped that Chelsea would win. Fortunately, they produced it and the party really started. It was a long night and rightly so. We deserve it and invest so much work. “
