Pep-angry speech after big game against Liverpool: “The situation is a disaster”
In the Premier League giants’ duel between Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola there was no winner on Sunday: Liverpool FC and Manchester City drew 1-1. But after the game, the two successful coaches did not regret the missed chances of victory, rather they teamed up in the fight against the league so that five changes could be made.
City coach Pep was furious on “Sky Sports”: “In the end I spoke with Jürgen about the fact that we had to fight over and over again for the five substitutions. Five substitutions are allowed anywhere in the world. But here we think we are special. We don’t protect players. “
Guardiola also said that the current situation is a “disaster”. «This league wants to be different. But I don’t understand how the Premier League understands the situation. “His job is to protect his players from injury.” You’re exhausted. LeBron James won the NBA title and now he’s on vacation for a month or two. Our guys had eight days It’s about games, games, games, games because television decided to do it that way. “
Klopp also addressed Premier League Managing Director Richard Masters in clear words: “We have to talk to each other again. It is a lack of leadership. If 14 teams cannot agree on five changes, then at least the best six teams should have a chance to do so. “
The two star coaches jumped aside Ole Gunnar Solksjaer. The Manchester United manager had previously complained about the tight match schedule and lack of breaks, as well as criticizing match settings in favor of televisions.
Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold was the next star player for one of the two teams injured yesterday. The right-back suffered a calf injury without interference from the rival and now runs the risk of being out for a long time. “He cannot play for England, that is clear. We’ll do a scan and then we’ll see, “Klopp said.
However, neither Guardiola nor Klopp believe that something will change soon. It’s a déjà vu. When I read the news from England when I was young, I also read about Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsène Wenger and Rafa Benitez. Then you were already complaining about the dates. There will be no solution, “said the City Guardiola coach.
Klopp also doesn’t see any improvement in the situation, but said again: “Nobody has a problem playing again on Saturday after Wednesday. But the noon games are too early. I can understand television channels one hundred percent. But it is too early and the Premier League must also listen to the unified position among the players. “(Pre / mem)
