On July 10, the Liverpool soccer team arrived in Bangkok, Thailand and were surprised at the number of fans there to see them.
Some fans waited more than six hours for their arrival. Two hours before their flight was due to land, hundreds were waiting outside Bangkok Airport. By the time Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager, and his players were ready to leave the airport and be driven into the city, there were over a thousand fans present.
Some were 50 yards away and probably didn’t even get a single glimpse of their heroes, given it only needed about three strides to get from the exit of the VIP room to the team bus.
Others stood in the central reservation to wave Liverpool off, the noise from the main body of supporters following them as they left.
The barrier that was supposed to be for media to stay behind was ignored and officials attempted to clear space for questions to be asked in an orderly fashion. They had no chance, which is when Klopp asked for the comparison with Manchester United, the team they were playing in Bangkok, and their number of fans.
“I have never been to a press conference like this,” Klopp said.
James Milner, the vice captain, spoke about the ‘energy’ of the fans, while Klopp explained there is nothing friendly between Liverpool and United.
If those events were any guide, there should have been a raucous atmosphere at the Rajamangala Stadium on Tuesday, where Manchenster United beat Liverpool 4-0.
