Liverpool FC continues to slip in the English Premier League. In the case of bankruptcy at Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are in danger of relegation, coach Jürgen Klopp is then mocked. They gossip about his dismissal while the coach believes in the turnaround.
“You will be released in the morning.” After all, that’s not what the club management of Liverpool FC said to Jürgen Klopp, but the fans of Wolverhampton Wanderers mocked. The duel between the two teams was won by the relegation-prone club 3-0, giving the Reds their third away bankruptcy in a row.
After just twelve minutes, Klopp’s team was 2-0 down. Joel Matip had found his own goal in the 5th minute after the team poorly defended the area and Wolverhampton’s Hwang Hee-chan got the ball free from a tight angle. He actually wanted to play a pass into the backcourt, but Matip then unluckily deflected it off the far post, from where the ball jumped over the line. Seven minutes later, Craig Dawson made it 2-0 for the hosts. The fans were not stingy with malice afterwards.
Because Liverpool FC has already fallen to tenth place in the English Premier League table. With one game less, they are 21 points behind leaders Arsenal and only eleven points ahead of relegation place 18. The club has also been eliminated from the FA Cup and the League Cup.
“Very frustrating, very disappointing,” Klopp said of the game. “The start of the game was awful, absolutely awful – it was the opposite of what we wanted to do.” Goalkeeper Alisson Becker stated that the early stages of the game looked “like two steps back”. It got a little better in the second half. The performance was a step forward, the team must take that into the next game, said Alissson. “We’re not in a position to think too much about what we can achieve at the end of the season,” said the Brazilian. “We have to think about what we can do better now.”
Because despite a small increase in performance, Klopp’s team did not get the ball into the goal. The third goal conceded by Ruben Neves (71st) was the final low blow. One that Klopp didn’t want to just accept. “I don’t count the third goal because it was the first time they crossed the halfway line in the second half,” he said grumpily. A through ball that the Wolves didn’t let go. On Twitter, the club published a photo of Neves clasping his hands over his head in disbelief. In addition, the “final score” is given as 2:0, Neves’ name is crossed out in the list of goal scorers. This swipe now has more than eight million views.
Despite the recent setback for Liverpool FC, Klopp firmly believes in his team and his sporting future with the Reds. “Yes, absolutely,” he replied when asked if he still had faith in his own ability to turn things around for the club. He still knows how good his players can be. “I’m not losing faith in the boys, but I see where we need to improve.”
