Liverpool received at Anfield a Leicester willing to punish the multiple casualties of those from Merseyside (Van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Alexander-Arnold, Rhys Williams, Jordan Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Mo Salah). Diogo Jota's umpteenth brilliant performance made evils forgotten and led his team to another convincing victory (3-0). However, not everyone erased from their memory the wounds that affect the Reds. Jurgen Klopp had to regret a new physical mishap, this time with Naby Keita as the protagonist and this led him to charge against the calendar and televisions, which he considers guilty of this accumulation of parties and the schedules that are assigned to the greats of the Premier. Curiously, the final part of the post-match interview that we will now reproduce was not broadcast by Sky, chain that televised the meeting.
“It's not just us, it's the players, the players from England, players who will play the European Championship next summer. Sky Y BT They have to talk because, if we continue playing Wednesdays and Saturdays at 12:30 pm, I'm not sure we can finish the season with eleven players. The first six or seven. But I know you don't care. It's really difficult for the players, that's the tricky thing. The rest is simply a decision on an office desk. That doesn't sound complicated to me. People tell us to rotate. Who? We have offensive players to rotate, yes, but the rest are guys. Stop talking and start making decisions “The German coach began his attack, tremendously annoyed by the situation experienced by his team.
“If someone tells me about the contracts again, I will go crazy. The contracts are not made for one season with COVID. We all have to adapt. You adapt, we adapt, you are here with a mask … We adapt to the situation. Everything has changed. But with TV contracts it's, 'No, we said we had this, so we keep this.' Everything has changed. The whole world has changed “, Klopp finished his statement.
Of course, before all this he was delighted by the performance of his players: “We had to play really well because otherwise we wouldn't have had any options and the boys did it from the first second. We controlled the game, we made the correct passes and movements, we offered ourselves and we used these offers. Many things went very well (…). Many moments of good football in a very good performance “, he sentenced. Thus, with the victory, Liverpool overtakes the leader, Leicester, and equals Mourniho's Tottenham in first place with 20 points. Chelsea and Breandan Rodgers are chasing them with 18.
