Jurgen Klopp bids farewell to TNT Sports
It's the best-kept secret in the world, but Jurgen Klopp doesn't like 12:30 kick-offs.
In fact, he hates them so much that he feels the need to tell us every week.
The Liverpool boss has expressed his displeasure at Liverpool being given early kick-offs for most of his nine years in charge, but despite the Reds no longer being given early kick-off opportunities this season, he couldn't resist saying goodbye to TNT Sports .
Klopp declared he would never watch the channel again and asked to be removed from subscribers, before joking that Amnesty International should be contacted because Saturday's 12:30 kick-off was a crime and claiming his team were history Fastest game reversal on the planet. Global game.
As a reminder, a non-league team recently played six games in nine days.
“I watch a lot of football around the world and the Premier League is the best league in the world. So it's not overrated. The players are overworked. It's as simple as that. You can talk about this until everyone finally realizes But someone needs to help people,” Klopp exclaimed.
“I had a discussion the other day with colleagues from our favorite TV channel TNT, I will never watch this channel again and said they are always talking about they pay you, they give football money. It’s not like that I really don't think so. On the contrary, football pays them to broadcast, to deliver, but it's not that TNT is not doing a good job or that Sky or any other company is doing a good job.
“They can pay you all and it's all good. You have to be part of the football again and not just squeezers. That's it, a little advice from an old man on the way out. I'll be watching a lot Football games, but not all, because people can certainly survive without match days.”
Klopp again blames English fixture list…
Aston Villa are the only Premier League side left in Europe but their 4-2 home defeat to Olympiacos on Thursday left them on the brink of a major exit for the English side this season. The reason for the lack of progress is a congested schedule.
He explained: “(Man City) and Arsenal, they went out in the quarter-finals, that's not a reflection of quality. It's just a reflection of our inability to deliver on the day we had to deliver. Yes, other countries have had very Good teams, no doubt about it, but it was a sign that a few years ago we had four English teams in the quarter-finals and we said, 'Yeah, this is the Premier League. The quality, let's play more. 'But we have to change the approach and that's the way it is when I talk about it, you always think it's because of the situation we had last time.
“We didn't lose to West Ham. But because of the last game. No, it's a general problem. It has nothing to do with our schedule now. It's criminal that they dare to offer 12.30 on Thursday, Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday. I It was actually waiting for Amnesty International to go to them and someone was sitting there – you like this press conference – so there was just someone sitting there making the decision that I wanted to meet, I wanted to go to a meeting and someone said “Liverpool.” 12.30” and the whole room erupted in laughter. ‘Again?!’ I wanted to be there.
“This morning I received the statistics of the biggest transformation in the world. Liverpool Football Club, yes (laughs). We were sitting there and so was I. I tell you, 'You have to do more, you have to fight more , you have to fight for it. 'We have the fastest turnaround of games in the world. But they're still happy and like subscribers. But you can take me off the list! If you are looking for an expert, I speak English! ”
