There is a heated discussion going on in the Premier League, which Jürgen Klopp cheers for.
It's about TV contracts, substitutions and the schedule.
In the end, the Liverpool coach is censored.
Jürgen Klopp
publicly mocks the
substitution rules
in England - and the
game schedule
.
For this he received the counterattack of a trainer colleague.
He
openly
accuses the
Liverpool team manager of
selfishness.
In a
TV interview,
the LFC coach railed against the
TV companies
and called for changes.
Update from November 23, 5:35 p.m.:
Next round in the debate about the
overloading
of football professionals in the
Premier League
.
This time it is
Jürgen Klopp
who takes a position in a TV interview and becomes quite emotional.
The coach of
Liverpool FC
again criticized the fixings with regard to the
TV contracts
: "If someone plays the Champions League on Wednesday, he may not play again on Saturday at 12.30", "Kloppo" urges
Sky
and adds: “It will happen again for us next week.” After the game against Atalanta Bergamo on Wednesday, the reigning champions in the English league will play again on Saturday afternoon - at Brighton & Hove Albion.
The 53-year-old advised that the
TV contracts
“be adapted to reality” on the grounds that the world was
“a different place than it was when the contracts were signed” in
view of
Corona
.
Is he talking about the blatantly high television money?
After all, the
kick-off times for the Premier League are
also based on the bubbling sources of income from international marketing.
Nonetheless, the former Bundesliga coach demands: "The TV companies have to talk together."
Jürgen Klopp: Liverpool coach rages in an interview against TV companies and substitutions
In addition, Klopp is further annoyed by the reduction in
substitutions in the Premier League
, now only three are allowed instead of five.
“We all brought arguments.
If people end up saying that we are acting out of self-interest, I obviously can't change that, because it's just completely past the truth, "said the coach of the" Reds ".
"Provoked" was the way Klopp by a reporter's question why he in the top match against Leicester City: shortly before closing his (0: 3)
change contingent
ausschöpfte.
The answer: “Because we have to keep thinking about someone going down injured.
If we switch early and someone gets injured, we'll finish the game in nine, ”said the cult coach.
The German's all-round blow was often shared on Twitter, and
the corresponding interview is apparently no longer available
on
Sky Sports
itself:
Jurgen Klopp on injuries and the broadcasting schedule.
This part of his interview wasn't aired by Sky, probably because he was speaking absolute facts.
Well in, Jurgen!

He demands that the two
broadcasting TV companies
on the island -
Sky
and
BT Sport
- sit down and find a solution.
As a result, the trainer wants the game calendar to be rectified.
Later in the conversation, when the reporter came back to the fact that the clubs themselves had agreed to the multi-billion dollar TV contract, “Kloppo” replied: “Finally start talking and make decisions.
I like our relationship.
But if anyone else tells me something about these contracts, I really freak out.
Because the contracts are not made for one
season with Covid
. "
Will the concerns of the Liverpool FC coach be heard?
With Naby Keita another player of the defending champion was injured at the weekend.
Klopp criticism cleanly countered!
Coach colleague accuses Liverpool coach of selfishness
Original article from November 21:
Sheffield / Munich -
Jürgen Klopp *
is not only a phenomenon because of his successes.
The
hearts of
the team manager from
Liverpool FC are still
flying.
Although his team
dominated
the
Premier League *
at will for
one season
after the
Champions League triumph in 2018/2019
and thus relieved the fight for the title * from any tension.
Usually, envy quickly arises in the
football world
and with it the open hope that the high-flyer will be grounded quickly.
But such
laws
do not seem to apply
to Klopp
.
Which is probably due to the sunny disposition and the genuine manner of the native of Stuttgart.
All the more, every openly presented
criticism
of him
causes
all the more amazement.
But
Chris Wilder's
most recent admission in the direction of Klopp was certainly not primarily about getting his name into the headlines.

Egoism accusation against Klopp: "Only look at their own clubs"
The coach of
Sheffield United
, last season's surprise team, is fighting publicly for the smaller clubs to be heard.
And so he accused his prominent trainer colleague a good
deal of selfishness
.
Without really judging it.
"Put us the cards on the table, he is concerned with
his own club
," the former professional presented at a press conference that "I have
unspeakable respect
before these top coaches because they get great results and
titles
to win." But then comes up what goes against the grain Wilder: “They are
selfish
and only look at their own clubs.
They don't care what that means for Sheffield United or for
England
.
It's all about Liverpool, ManCity and Chelsea - which I can understand and respect. "
'#SUFC is my only concern, #LFC is Jurgen Klopp's only concern and #MCFC is Pep's.'
Chris Wilder says there was quite a bit of persuasion going on in a meeting between Premier League managers about whether to introduce five substitutions, but his mind his firmly made up. Pic.twitter.com/RXdgiRHuVH

Egoism accusation against Klopp: The background is a discussion about the number of substitutions
But what is it all about?
A discussion has
broken out
among the Premier League coaches about the
number of substitutions
in the tightly timed season.
While all other major leagues maintained the rule with
five exchange options
per game, England's House of Lords switched back to the number that was
allowed
before the
Corona crisis
.
The clubs of the internationally active top clubs are bothered by this, especially since they have
to complain
about
injuries
again and again
and
practically no more breather beckons
until the
EM next summer
.
Instead, one
English week follows
the next.
The criticism from Liverpool, Manchester and London, which is also directed against
appointments on Saturday afternoon after the European Cup weeks
, is on the one hand only too understandable.

Egoism accusation against Klopp: Smaller clubs see weakening in more substitutions
What Wilder does not deny: "I would see it the same way, but I care about Sheffield United and
five substitutions don't help us
." Honest words.
The argument of the small Premier League clubs: Their squads are not nearly as strong in terms of breadth, so that every change has a negative
effect
on the
quality of the team
.
While Klopp,
Pep Guardiola
or Frank Lampard can also keep up the level with player number 16.
Consequently, Wilder and Co. fear that the advantage of the rich clubs would increase with a role backwards.
His team was already at the
bottom of the table
with just one point before the 9th matchday
.
While other
underdogs make
more of the current weak phase of the grandees:
Leicester City
, sensation champion 2015/2016, went
into the international
break
as
leaders
,
Southampton FC led
by team manager Ralph Hasenhüttl and the
relegated Aston Villa
are in the upper third of the table.
Egoism accusation against Klopp: "My compassion is not exactly immense"
Wilder should also hope for one or the other surprise against the big ones.
That's why he has absolutely nothing to do with criticizing the game plan: “
My sympathy is
not exactly immense.
If ManCity plays in Outer Mongolia on Wednesday evening and then
resumes on Saturday at 12.30pm
, then they have to play again on Saturday at 12.30pm. ”The sympathy for Everybodys Darling Klopp doesn't go that far.
At least in Sheffield.
