A journalist enraged the German coach, Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool manager, during the press conference prior to the next clash between the “Reds” and Ajax Amsterdam, on Wednesday, in the football competitions of the European Champions League.
Klopp praised the opposing team, describing it as a great team, and also said that if this team were to play in England, it would contribute to strengthening the Premier League, and praised their approach to scaling up young talent and selling it at high prices.
When asked if Liverpool could beat the Dutch team in the absence of Virgil van Dyck and goalkeeper Alison Baker, Klopp angrily replied: “No we can’t, is this a question from a journalist who follows football? We miss Van Dyck and Alison from now on, but we are preparing for the Ajax game in all seriousness. “

He continued: “3 weeks ago everyone said that we are going to win the title, but now some say that we have no chance, that I am old enough to know how this world is going and that is why we must remain calm.”
He added: “Why don’t I have to believe in my players? Almost everyone thinks we will suffer, but we will prove you wrong, even though that doesn’t matter to me in the first place, I care to do what is best for Liverpool.”
He concluded: “In the coming weeks we will silence everyone, especially those skeptical voices, and we will prove you wrong. We have a lot of players in our team and we have to move on.”
The duo, Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara, missed training for the “Reds” because Matip suffered a left leg injury during the Merseyside derby against Everton, and Thiago suffers the injury after suffering strong interference from Richarlison, during the same match.
With Virgil van Dijk cutting the cruciate ligament in his knee, the German coach may be forced to involve Fabinho in the center of defense against Ajax at the start of the two teams’ day in the continental competition group stage.
