Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has responded to the media after certain journalists took his comment on the Africa Cup of Nations out of context. After Saturday’s triumph over Arsenal, the German tactician talked about the possibility of losing Egypt’s Mohamed Salah and Senegal’s Sadio Mane to the biennial African football showpiece. “In January, there’s a little tournament in Africa…”
This part of his statement did not go down well with many fans and some journalists who misunderstood the sarcastic context. They then accused Klopp of being disrespectful to African football. The former Borussia Dortmund handler decided to clear up the confusion on what he meant. “It’s all good, I didn’t mean it like that. I don’t know why you understand it like that, to be honest,” Klopp told media after Wednesday’s Champions League game against FC Porto.
