Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp interrupted a journalist and offered an eye-opening insight into the Reds’ attitude towards external noise after their Champions League mauling by Real Madrid. Klopp insisted it is ‘not hard’ to block out negative media coverage ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.
During Klopp’s pre-match press conference, a journalist suggested that it must be hard to ignore what is being said in the media. However, Klopp interjected the individual and bluntly quipped: “It’s really not.”
The German continued: “I’ve said plenty of times now that I don’t read a lot [that is written about Liverpool] anyway. But when you lose a game like this it makes absolutely no sense to read or listen to people who are talking about us.
“I know 100 per-cent how it is. Conceding five in a home Champions League game is absolutely not acceptable. I know that, but it happened anyway so we cannot change that anymore.
“The way we conceded the goals, we can change. Not in that game, but in general. The start of the game was a good one anyway, the first 20 minutes. I know after then we conceded, but the first half was a really good half. The second half, the worst half for us.”
