Five changes in the Premier, Townsend stings Klopp: “By dint of complaining for years, he always has what he wants …”

Klopp gets his dose of teasing too. The latest comes, unsurprisingly, from a footballer … from Everton. Andros Townsend criticized the German for his constant … complaining.

He may have won the award as the best manager in the world for two consecutive years (2019 and 2020), but that doesn’t mean that Jürgen Klopp is well-liked by everyone. Of course, the German manager of Liverpool is one of the most beloved coaches, but in football you know how things go: as long as you are a loser it is difficult to find enemies, but then, as soon as you start to bring something home, criticisms arise. … Considering that within two seasons his Liverpool first won the Champions League and then broke a 30-year Premier League fast, there is enough for Klopp to get his dose of teasing too. , as indeed happens for all equally famous colleagues.

The latest comes, unsurprisingly, from a footballer … from Everton. Andros Townsend, speaking to TalkSport, criticized the German for his constant … complaining. The opportunity to introduce the speech is the fact that from next season in the Premier there will be the five changes, loudly requested by the German … “How nice, finally Jurgen Klopp has found a way to get what he wanted. For years He complains. They said no to him many times, but in the end they gave him five substitutions. Then he will probably continue to make two or three in the important games, but who are we to question him? City, they make one or two substitutions, not four. But in games against Crystal Palace or Brentford, against opponents who put 11 behind the ball, then yes, five world-class players who are fresh can change everything. it becomes unfair “.

So, is German able to influence some decisions? For Townsend this is definitely the case. “Clearly Klopp matters a lot. I think we saw him last season and also in the previous one, in which he kept insisting. Vote after vote, they said no, then in the end all of a sudden they announced the five substitutions. last year he was complaining about the schedule, this or that and suddenly they put a game on Saturday night, something never seen in the Premier League. All this complaining puts pressure to give him what he wants. Which happens very often. ” And the controversy is launched … even before the next derby, which will arrive only in September!
