Klopp welcomes opening of new Liverpool training complex

Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, has welcomed the opening of their new training complex.

Last week, Liverpool said their final goodbye to their historic Melwood base, closing the gate on what had been their home for over 70 years before the move to Kirkby on Tuesday.

Some of Klopp’s players have already been introduced to the facilities at the AXA Centre with the likes of Fabinho and James Milner posting of their visits last week ahead of the grand opening.

“Today is a really special day for the team,” Klopp said. “It has been a long time coming.

“There has been a lot of steps, meetings with architects, designers, everybody!

“The facility is great and whoever has the chance to visit will be impressed. It is a wonderful building – you have everything you need now and for the future. It’s pretty much perfect!”

The new 9,200sqm training base creates a combined first-team and Under-23 facility, housing all of the club’s age groups in the same area for the first time.
