Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp let loose at an Amazon Prime presenter after his team’s win at Sheffield United on Wednesday. The German claimed Marcus Buckland was “disrespectful” for referencing his dislike for 12.30pm kick-offs.<\/p>\n

Buckland said: “You’ve had some injury problems, you’ve got all these games, you’re still going strong in Europe, in the League Cup, in the FA Cup. You’re going to Crystal Palace, your favourite kick-off time at the weekend.”<\/p>\n

To which Klopp replied: “That’s brave, I have to say! That’s really brave to make a joke about that, really.<\/p>\n

“It is constant. Now we go home, I don’t know exactly when we will arrive, 1am, 2am, whatever. And then we play again.<\/p>\n

“We have two sessions, so it’s fine to recover and then we go again. Crystal Palace played as well tonight so it’s absolutely fine but I realise you don’t understand it as well, even when you work in football, so why should I try to explain again?<\/p>\n

“To make a joke of that [is] completely ignorant. But it’s good, football is entertainment and I understand. It’s all good.”<\/p>\n

Buckland attempted to explain his comment. He responded: “It’s just one of those issues that come up and I’m not trying to be disrespectful.”<\/p>\n

But Klopp interrupted to say: “You were already.”<\/p>\n

Buckland replied: “Well Jurgen I apologise.”<\/p>\n

To which Klopp said: “All good, all good. You can say what you want. Just I cannot say what I want because that would be really different.”<\/p>\n
