The Press Must Give My Players A Break With Their Questions – Klopp

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has come out to call for calm after Virgil van Dijk’s uncertain club future remarks. He recently slammed the media distraction since his exit news, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the press should give his players a break with their questions, because ever since he spoke about leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, his boys have not been given the opportunity to process the decision.

Klopp added that LFC is stable 100 percent, and everyone must just stay calm till the end of the season.

His words, “When I said what I had to say (about leaving), it was clear the outside world wouldn’t give you a second to process it and think about it. Give the boys a break. Nobody has to worry. You can’t wait with these type of questions. Virg [Van Dijk] didn’t go out and say ‘by the way I want to say…..’. It’s always about the questions.

This club is stable, 100 per cent. Everything will be fine. I recommend that people stay calm. Very often the fans’ concerns aren’t as big as the media might think. You underestimate the IQ of our supporters. We’re in this season and these talks could be part of a possible distraction. That’s the same whether you know the manager for next season or not.

The club have known about my departure for a while. Tying the players down and then me saying ‘I won’t he here anymore’, they’d be like ‘no-one told us that’, you can’t work like this, especially with the relationship we have. There’s enough time to do everything. These players love to be here. I know that for a fact. It’s not that they have one foot out.”
