You are wrong, Klopp!

(Baonghean.vn) - Liverpool fans are feeling extremely disappointed with the performances of coach Klopp and his team recently. However, the former Dortmund captain does not agree with the criticism from public opinion.

Speaking at the press conference after the Spartak Moscow - Liverpool match (1 - 1), coach Klopp defended what was happening at Anfield: "It was a crazy match. It's an indescribable feeling to create dozens of chances but only score 1 goal. What else can I say? We attacked like crazy against a team that only focused on defending. So what can we say about us?"

The German strategist's excuses sound ridiculous. Instead of taking responsibility for his team's poor performance, coach Klopp blames his opponents. In terms of strength and reputation, Spartak Moscow is nothing compared to Liverpool. Coach Valeri Karpin or any other coach leading the Russian team when facing Coutinho and his teammates, would choose a defensive - counter-attacking style of play. This is inevitable.

Liverpool could not overcome the opponent's defense to get a positive result, this fault belongs to coach Klopp and his students. Looking at the statistics table in this match, it is easy to see the ineffectiveness in Liverpool's playing style. 90 minutes at Luzhniki Stadium: The Kop had 64% ball possession time, launched 16 shots, completely superior to Spartak Moscow's 36% ball possession time and launched 4 shots, but the number of goals was equal.

I don't understand why coach Klopp can still be proud of such poor results? In modern football, whether a team plays offensively or defensively depends on the current conditions, the current time and the philosophy of each coach. There is no reason to lower the defensive style of play and emphasize the offensive style of play. The final result of the match and the tournament is the most important factor. Playing fair, playing with dedication... means nothing if that team is not the winner, the one who raises the championship.

Coach Klopp should remember why the Dutch national team has never been on par with Italy, Germany... in the "temple of legends" of world football. And no matter how excellent Coach Wenger is, he cannot be considered as important as Coach Mourinho in the Champions League arena. Does the Dutch national team play beautifully and attractively? Certainly. Does Coach Wenger's Arsenal play ugly defense? Of course not. The common point of the Dutch national team and Coach Wenger is beauty and harmlessness at decisive moments.

Coach Klopp, don't forget, Liverpool's board of directors brought him to Anfield not to build a team with a dedicated attacking style of play but always missed the championship. If that's the case, it's better to keep coach Brendan Rodgers. What Liverpool's owners and fans expect from coach Klopp is that the strategist born in 1967 will help The Kop return to the golden age of the 80s - the 20th century and before.

There are only a few days left to mark 2 years since Klopp took charge at Anfield. Titles are still eluded by the Port City team and it is unknown when that situation will end. Liverpool's poor start to the season this year is still largely the fault of Klopp. If the existing shortcomings in the "Red Brigade" are not promptly and thoroughly overcome, the risk of the former Dortmund captain losing his job is clear as day.

Admitting mistakes and correcting them is what needs to be done right now, not using words to justify them, Coach Klopp./.
