– Everything can be a farce – Liverpool to the mayor of the city

The games are most likely to be played behind closed doors, but Mayor Anderson doesn’t think it’s very smart for the games to be played at all.

– Although it is behind closed doors, there will be thousands of people appearing outside of Anfield. Not many people will respect what has been said and will stay away from the field. Many will come to celebrate. I don’t think I should start again, he tells the BBC.

He continues:

– I think it will be very difficult for the police to keep people separate and maintain social distance if many had turned up to celebrate outside of Anfield. Everything can be a farce, says the mayor.

The remarks have not fallen on good ground in Liverpool, which came out with a press release on Thursday afternoon. It establishes, among other things:

– We are aware and disappointed with the statement to Mayor Anderson published today in an interview. In addition to the lack of evidence for such claims, we would also like to recall our conversations with Mayor Anderson about the possibilities of playing games behind closed doors, concluding that it is important for businesses across the city to continue their participation and cooperation, according to TV 2 .
