‘ITS B******S’ Jurgen Klopp opens up and sends clear Liverpool message over Thiago
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has hit out and claimed all the criticism of Thiago is b*****ks’
After deciding to leave Bayern last summer, Thiago made the big decision to join Liverpool and test himself in the Premier League, a transfer move that was hailed as one of the best of the transfer window.
Injuries, a bout of Covid-19 and uncharacteristic struggles for collective form on Merseyside have conspired against the 29-year-old, with some making him a scapegoat in a disappointing title defence.
But Klopp has responded: “He came in late, which is just the nature of some transfers, then he got Covid, got injured, and still had to adapt to a new team – and a team which was not exactly flying with no problems at all,” Reds boss Klopp has told Sky Sports.
“We’ve had to rebuild the team pretty much every three days because of changing the last line and changing a lot of things, so that’s just really unlucky for Thiago. But he has played some exceptional games and had some exceptional moments on the pitch, and he is so respected in the squad.
“It’s just a public perception. ‘Oh, Thiago is in and we don’t perform well anymore.’ These kind of things are just b*llocks, let me say it like that! They are just not right.
“Everybody needs time to adapt. Bayern played a different style, in a different league, and were much more dominant in the Bundesliga than any team can be in the Premier League.
“So, that’s all different. But thank God, we are all smart enough to judge the situation correctly here. Thiago can play better football, yes, of course, but we all can play better football. No doubt about it.”
