Klopp angry after Liverpool’s victory over Manchester City

Klopp

Jurgen Klopp cut a frustrated figure in his post-match press conference just moments after his Liverpool side defeated Manchester City 3-0 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

The Reds flew out of the blocks in the first-half as Mohamed Salah scored from close-range to break the deadlock in the 12th minute, his 38th goal of the season in all competitions.

Liverpool had the momentum with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sadio Mane piling yet more misery on Pep Guardiola’s men.

Klopp was delighted with the performance of his players but admitted he was “angry” that they only have two days break before Saturday lunchtime’s Merseyside derby.

“If we want to see games like this them the Premier League have to think about the fixtures,” the German told BT Sport.

“It should be something good (the game against Everton) and not cause problems. We have to find players now for what a lot of people say is the biggest game of the season.

“I do not feel good about this right now. If I don’t play my best XI against Everton then we know what happens.

“Being in an international competition should not cause you problems so that you have to somehow find players. “I am really angry with those who have made the decision for the early kick-off.”
