The city of Liverpool is fighting for survival. A meeting with the seven-time European Cup winners would represent a high-profile exhibition fixture for the region as Jurgen Klopp takes his players to Dubai to make the journey for those joining up with their club colleagues from the World Cup easier from a logistical standpoint. The Reds are flying out to the region to coincide with the Qatar World Cup for a warm-weather training camp during the tournament. Liverpool's last game before the international tournament is ᧐n November 12 at home to Southampton before domestic action resumes оn December 26 away at Aston Villa. The Liverpool Echo says plans for friendlies are in the pipeline and a match with Serie A giants Milan has been discussed as top clubs look to use their time off from domestic action by keeping their non-internationals sharp. No one knew the 1989/90 campaign was an ending, a full stop оn what had been an unforgettable sentence in English football history. The docks, once the heartbeat of Liverpool's prosperity, have been in decline since the 1970s. Manufacturing is shrinking, economic stagnation is sharp, the population is in decline, inner-city homes are falling into decay and unemployment is high.
