Klopp attacks his own substitute bench: “Never do that again!”

Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool score three points against Chelsea for the fourth time in a row at Stamford Bridge. Despite the victory, the 53-year-old is not entirely satisfied with some of his players during a game-changing situation.

The Premier League peak match between Chelsea and Liverpool has long been level. Until shortly before the break, Blues defender Andreas Christensen was caught off guard by a deflected pass from Jordan Henderson and Liverpool forward Sadio Mané could only stop with a rough rugby tackle.

After consulting the VAR, referee Paul Tierney has no choice but to show the red card to Christensen, who acted as last man. The decision plays the Reds on the cards, of course, understandable why the Liverpool FC substitute bench applauds. For Jürgen Klopp, however, there is no reason to be happy, and the German coach makes it clear to his substitutes.

“Are you crazy or what?” Klopp yells at the bank. “Never do that again! Insurance? It is the clear message of the 53-year-old man. A nice gesture, undoubtedly influenced by the last match with Chelsea. At 5: 3 for the Reds shortly after the crown was broken, Lampard and Klopp faced off on the bench. The Chelsea manager complained at the time that a Klopp assistant had violated the “training code”.

In the Stamford Bridge game the rivalry between the two coaches was not renewed. Perhaps because of actions like Klopp’s. Liverpool won the game 2-0 at the end.
