game of the year?
Watch the summary: Manchester United beat Liverpool 3:4 in the quarter-finals of the Cup, after a crazy turnaround in extra time/Sport1
Liverpool lost their first title for the season yesterday (Sunday), when they lost at Old Trafford 4:3 to Manchester United in a super dramatic and volatile game that lasted 120 minutes and at the end of it they flew out of the FA Cup.
The Mighty Reds fell behind early, but completed a turnaround by half-time, conceded towards the end and regained the lead in extra time, but the Red Devils with a turnaround of their own won in the end and secured their place in the semi-finals at Wembley.
Jurgen Klopp, who will leave Liverpool at the end of the season after nine years, was very nervous after the game and didn't even try to hide it - certainly not in the meeting with the Danish journalist Nils Christian Fredriksen, who tried to make it difficult for him and in response the German abandoned the interview position and continued to confront him afterwards in front of the camera.
Watch the interview that led to the storm and the abandonment of Klopp
The journalist asked Klopp about the accumulated fatigue of his players in overtime and if they were left without energy, to which Klopp replied: "It's a stupid question, because if you saw us in other games then you would ask how we have so much energy. I don't know how many games we play We played and how many games did Manchester United play, it's a sport, but you must think your question is good."
Despite this, the journalist did not hesitate and asked "So you had too many games?"
And the furious Klopp abandoned the interview and blurted out in the process: "Come on. You're certainly not in good shape and I have no nerves for you. What's wrong with you? What were you trying to do?"
Christian Frederiksen still tried to ask the manager "Why are you so provocative?", but Klopp was no longer there to listen, was no longer recorded on camera and left the place.

The day after the game, Christian Frederiksen was interviewed by the Danish media and told about what happened with Klopp after the cameras turned off: "I was very surprised and people who were near us and saw what was happening were really scared, almost clinging to the wall in panic and asking themselves 'Wow, what the hell happened here?'.
" It went on beyond what you saw on the screen, he kept walking down the hall yelling at me.
I kept following him because I thought something strange was going on here.
People asked me if I was fine and I answered that of course I was fine."
It should be noted that this is not the first time that Nils Christian Frederiksen interviewed Klopp and that their previous meetings were good and pleasant, at least that's what the Danish journalist thinks. "I don't know him personally, but I've interviewed him many times , even in Mainz and Dortmund and of course many times in Liverpool.
When you're one of the best coaches in the world you're probably the worst loser in the world, so I interpret what happened mainly as an expression of his frustration with the elimination and the way it happened.
His dream scenario was that his last game for England would be the cup final at Wembley and it's been taken away from him now, so I can understand that he's super frustrated.
I will continue to interview him and there will be no problem in the future, I am convinced of that."
