Although there was still a UEFA Champions League match midweek, Klopp gave the players a day off the next day.
That tough Northwest Derby had drained everyone's physical strength and energy.
Klopp knew very well that sometimes, proper relaxation was more important than training.
Chen Anno took the opportunity to accompany Nicolas to the hospital for her routine prenatal checkup.
Just as they were about to leave, Second Aunt came out to greet them with a bowl of soup.
"Annuo, drink this bowl of soup before you go to the hospital." Second Aunt handed it over. "It was just stewed this morning. It's nourishing, and it won't make you fat."
Chen Anno looked at the soup, then at Nicolas. "Second Aunt, I'm accompanying Nicolas for her prenatal checkup. I'm not the one getting checked."
"Then you should drink it too!" Second Aunt said seriously. "You footballers run around every day, so you need nourishment too! Besides, this soup is for two people. Drink half and leave the other half for Nicolas."
"Second Aunt, Annuo doesn't need this," Nicolas said with a smile, linking her arm through Chen Anno's. "He eats very healthily normally. He's much more disciplined than I am."
"It's fine, it's nourishing!" Second Aunt forcibly stuffed the bowl into Chen Anno's hands. "I've been here for nearly a month, and you've been busy training every day. I haven't seen you properly nourish yourself at all. Come on, drink it. Listen to Second Aunt."
Chen Anno did not know whether to laugh or cry. He took it and tipped back a large mouthful.
Nicolas could not help laughing out loud.
Ever since Second Aunt had arrived nearly a month ago, she had been finding new ways to make food for Nicolas every day.
