Jurgen Klopp Accuses Manchester United of Not Intending to Play Offensively at the North West Derby

DBasia.news –  Liverpool coach, Juegen Klopp, was disapointed as his club had to end with a draw in the match against Manchester United, Sunday (10/20). He blamed the home team, Manchester United, who seemed to have no intention of playing football when hosting Liverpool in the match.

“I’m not someone who should be frustrated by Manchester United’s playing style. I only convey the facts. They only survived. This is not criticism. This is only an explanation of the facts, “stated Jurgen Klopp after the match as quoted by the London Evening Standard.

The former Borussia Dortmund coach further said, “We always play against the wall. We need to play better, but that’s what we always face today. I guess Man. United can’t play like this if the opponents don’t get the ball more often. “

Not only that, Jurgen Klopp also assessed the draw achieved by Manchester United was nothing more than luck. According to him, the Red Devils goal in Alisson Becker’s goal is forbidden.

“They scored a goal that showed all the problems about VAR. Mr. Atkinson let the game go on and I’m sure it’s because there is a VAR. For me, there was clearly a violation (before the goal), “he complained. “That’s a violation. Then, we scored a goal that was then disallowed. Everything seems to be on our side. “

The Manchester United vs Liverpool match at Old Trafford Stadium ended in a 1-1 draw. The host took the lead thanks to Marcus Rashford’s goal in the 36th minute. However, the visitors equalized just five minutes before the match was over through Adam Lallana.

A draw with Manchester United did not displaced Liverpool’s position. Jurgen Klopp’s team remain strong at the top of the Premier League standings. However, they are now only six points ahead of the closest competitor, Manchester City
