Yesterday, Jürgen Klopp was doubly irritated. He was not happy about his team’s 4-3 Europa League loss to Toulouse, nor was he happy about the way the press conference was conducted following the game, where the French team’s joy and euphoria were unbridled and all sounds were drowned out by the din from the other side.
“Who thought of holding the press conference in this place?” the Liverpool manager yelled out. It’s a really fascinating question. He leaned closer to the journalists’ ears and said, “Wow!” in response to one of their questions. “You’ll need to ask more emphatically. I cannot comprehend a single thing you are saying. Chris, you have a challenge on your hands,” he said to a reporter.
When asked what his team’s involvement was, he repeated himself, saying, “We’ve been just as organised as this press conference. It’s all quite disorganised. The idea to do it here came from who? It’s a really fascinating query. Whoa!”
Klopp received an apology
Toulouse apologised in writing to the German coach in the final hours following the embarrassing incident on Thursday. This is an unusual circumstance because it is not often that a club admits responsibility for their mistakes.
