At 20:30 Beijing time on the evening of March 12, the 29th round of the Premier League, Liverpool challenged Brighton away, and Klopp was asked about Chelsea boss Abu being sanctioned by the British government at the pre-match press conference.
Klopp replied: This situation should not be borne by Chelsea employees in the first place, and there is one person responsible for it, and that is Putin. I don't know what role Chelsea boss Abramovich played in the whole incident, but you could say Abu was pretty close to the whole thing and I think the British government's decision to freeze Abu's assets in the UK was done right.
Chelsea's ban on ticket sales, player contract renewals, and transfers shows the character of some players and coaches. Klopp's double-standard remarks have sparked huge controversy. Compared with Guardiola's previous speeches, the melon slag dispute was decided at this moment. After this incident, more fans will like Guardiola, because in the face of great right and wrong, Guardiola is one of the few "decent gentlemen" in the Premier League.
Nowadays, in the five major leagues, there are too many double-standard remarks, the words of some famous stars have changed the taste of football, and what sports without borders is a fairy tale story, and their eyes are only interests first.
