Liverpool played right against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday after an insane final phase in which Harry Kane determined the final stand in injury time through a penalty kick (2-2). Emmanuel Petit saw that manager Jürgen Klopp Sadio Mané, Georginio Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson exchanged and the Frenchman finds that incomprehensible.
“It was an exceptional end of the game. I think Klopp blunders, especially in the last twenty minutes by changing offensive players for defending players,”says Petit opposite SFR,” he was in charge of the game, even if Tottenham had made a comeback in the second half. In the first half of the race was completely under Liverpool’s control.
It reminds me of that time when Unai Emery (trainer Paris Saint-Germain, ed.) in the second duel with Barcelona in the Champions League, where he carried out defensive switches at a 3-1 intermediate stand. I believe that it sends the wrong signal to the players, especially in the English culture of attacking and goal making rather than defending the result.
“It is not in Liverpool’s DNA to play football on result. It was a mistake of Klopp, but I’m a fan of his character “, concludes the former footballer. Afterwards, Klopp was particularly furious at the arbitration:”It is very difficult to accept the decisions. The result was greatly influenced by the judge’s decisions. I’m not allowed to reach the referees until half an hour after the match, but do you think he won’t come to me to say he made a mistake?
Do you agree with Emmanuel Petit?
