Jürgen Klopp countered the allegations of being a bad loser by explaining why he cannot allow himself to be in a bad mood when facing his Liverpool squad.
The Reds boss raised his eyebrows with a frosty interview about Sky Sports immediately after Reds’ disappointing 4-0 deficit in Manchester City on Thursday.
Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane, who worked as an expert for Sky at Etihad, jumped up to defend Klopp.
The Liverpool manager later admitted that he wasn’t in a good mood until he arrived in Melwood the next morning to prepare for Sunday’s Premier League home game against Aston Villa.
And when asked if he reacted equally to every defeat, Klopp said: “Am I always like this? I don’t know. I had so many setbacks that I sometimes needed more than one night.” get over it), but not for long.
“I decided a long time ago that things I can’t change don’t bother me. I can’t change Thursday’s result, I can only use it for the next game. I try.
“But you can’t stop feeling and defeat feels really, really average. It takes time.
“Sometimes people give themselves too much time to suffer about something that didn’t work out. I’m not a sorry man.
“I am very self-critical, but have not felt sorry for myself very often, because as long as I am healthy, I can influence my situation and our situation in this case.”
Klopp added: “The mood of the players depends a little on me. If I come in and yell at them like crazy, we can suffer longer, I would say.
“If you focus on the facts, you can see that this is done. The boss is obviously not 100% happy, but we are already working on the solutions, so let’s go ahead.”
