Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Youssouf Fofana’s “Little brother” interview!
Last Sunday, at the end of a totally crazy victory for Liverpool over Tottenham (4-3), Jürgen Klopp vehemently attacked the fourth referee by celebrating Diogo Jota’s winning goal in front of him. Sanctioned with a yellow card by Paul Tierney, the German coach of the Reds, targeted by an investigation by the English Federation, insisted on making his mea culpa while ensuring that he had not said anything bad:
“This situation should never have happened. It was emotional, angry at that moment. I didn’t say anything bad. I didn’t want to go near the fourth referee. Any This situation shouldn’t have happened, that’s all. That’s why I celebrated the way I did. There was the foul on Mo (Salah, who was not whistled), A minute later we scored and you should be happy you scored a goal but I was just angry I didn’t say anything bad I was shouting ‘Without you, without you’ this which doesn’t even make sense.”
Klopp denies having lied!
He then continued:
“He said to me: ‘for me it’s a red card, but for him (the fourth referee) it’s yellow’. He showed me a yellow and smiled at me, that’s all “. I heard I was lying. I did a lot of things, but I wasn’t lying. I shouldn’t have said two or three things, but they weren’t lies. I should probably expect a punishment because the referees think I questioned their integrity. But at the time, I just described my feelings. We won a football match 4-3 in spectacular fashion and the only headlines were on me. I really regret it because it’s not how it should be.”
Before concluding :
“After the meeting, I tried to calm down but I didn’t behave properly. I said on television: ‘what he (Paul Tierney, editor’s note) told me was not correct’ I opened the box I didn’t mean to open The referees are mad at what I said I did a lot that day but I didn’t lie They think I questioned their integrity, which I don’t do when I’m sitting here calmly.”
