Often jovial and humorous in press conferences, Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, is nevertheless direct and to the point when he needs to be.
The German clearly doesn’t suffer fools gladly, and woe betide anyone that gets on the wrong side of him.
This week, that would include The Athletic.
During his press conference for the weekend’s game against Brighton and Hove Albion, Klopp pulled up the outlet after they ran a story which he initially described as ‘fake news,’ and then suggested the article was an outright lie.
I think Klopp is an impeccable gentleman in going to lengths to deny the Athletics’ comments that he said more red cards should have been shown to United players.
Journos and newspapers like to stir things up even if they are not true just to push up their circulation.
