Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp revealed what the referee of the “Reds” and Tottenham Hotspur match, Paul Tierney, did, stressing that he “did not lie” in his statements after the final whistle.
The German coach had celebrated “madly” Liverpool’s deadly goal against the “Spurs” in front of the fourth official, John Brooks, before Klopp suffered from hamstring pain and received a booking.
The “Reds” coach claimed that what the arena referee, Paul Tierney, said was “not good” during the announcement of the yellow card, and he also questioned the validity of the referee’s decisions, before the “PGMOL” committee, which is responsible for English football referees, denied Klopp’s allegations.
Klopp spoke at a press conference, on Tuesday, saying: “We won the match in a great way, and the only titles belonged to me and I am really sorry for that, this is not necessary and not as it should be.”
On the possibility of a penalty being imposed on him, he said: “I have no idea what is happening now. We have not yet heard from the Football Association, the referees, or anyone else.”
He continued: “The other things I said about referee Paul Tierney, I’m sure he didn’t do it on purpose, but we have a history, and I can’t deny that.”
And Klopp added: “The referee, Paul Tierney, came to me, at that time I did not expect for a moment that he would show a red card, then he told me: It is a red card, but because of the fourth referee, you will only receive a yellow card and will not be sent off.”
And Jurgen Klopp continued: “I heard that I was lying, I did a lot of things, but I was not lying, the lying had nothing to do with it.”
And he concluded: “Previously, I said about the referee’s conversation with me that it was not a good saying, I thought his saying was not good, because it was not a red card from my point of view, and then things happened, I understand, what happened happened, but that was not intended.” .
The German coach is preparing to lead his team against Fulham, on Wednesday evening, in a postponed match from the 28th week, in the Premier League competition.
