Football: Klopp queries responsibility of addressing derby day difficulties

Jurgen Klopp doesn't believe Liverpool Football Club should publicly criticise officiating decisions. Klopp: "It’s not that I want to have a player punished but I think it’s something that we have to be all agreed on. If you do something wrong, then you have to deal with the consequences and at this moment there’s only one person who deals with the consequences – two persons, sorry – Virgil van Dijk and Thiago Alcantara. All the rest is going on just like this and that’s difficult. I wouldn’t have spoken about it if you don’t ask me because it’s you who keeps all these stories up. I’m here because of a [UEFA] Champions League game and I want to be focused on the Champions League game. You ask these questions now and again; everybody will judge us because we don’t deal in the right way with it. But we did nothing wrong in the game. I don’t think we’ve done anything wrong since then. But we are still, not we but still mostly our players are still the ones who suffer from it. That doesn’t feel right and it’s not easy to deal with these kind of things. Again, we all accept that these things can happen, but it should be in a normal challenge."
