Comments on Tottenham’s Jurgen Klopp tactics again draw the wrong conclusion – Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp drew attention with his comments about the “kind of football” of Tottenham, but again many have the wrong ending.

It was a disappointing night for Liverpool as Tottenham maintained a solid defensive form with well-designed counterattacks, leaving the Reds with the task of separating them.

Tottenham finished with 35 percent possession and eight shots to 22 against Liverpool, but the most important statistic was 1-1, to leave Klopp a little disappointed after the game, as expected.

The Reds sometimes played in Spurs’ hands, allowing guests to play on the clock, but Conte’s setting was ultimately the opposite of Klopp’s.

And when asked for his opinion on Tottenham’s defensive stance, Klopp gave his opinion and made it clear that it was his “personal problem” that he could not train that way.

“I’m sorry, I’m the wrong person for that [Spurs’ defending], I do not like this kind of football. But this is my personal problem, “Klopp told reporters.

“I think they are world class and I think they need to do more for the game.

“In the match against Liverpool, they have 36 percent possession. But this is my problem. I can’t train him. That’s why I can’t do it.

“World-class players, [who] block all the balls. Really hard. Atletico Madrid does it. Okay, whatever, absolutely fine, I just can’t [coach it].

“But yes, I respect everything they do. But it’s not me. “

It is no secret that Klopp has his own views on how football should be played, and yet, when asked for his opinion, he then distorts it, believing it to be “sour” with a “sick” mentality. loser. ”

The comments of #thfc Re Klopp, “I don’t like it, I can’t train it” are fair enough. It’s not his style. But assuming there’s only one way to use world-class players feels like sour grapes, especially when the approach has received so much from Kane and son.

Do some just expect him to say what he wants and forget his own opinion?

He acknowledged that the Spurs are “world-class” in themselves, but that their approach is not for him, as his views on how football should be played differ significantly.

After such a result would not be all smiles and Klopp has the right to be disappointed while sharing an opinion that has always been set to get the reaction he received properly.
