Klopp praises’ brave’ top talent:’ It is strange that it is still happening’.

Rhian Brewster spoke out about racism in football last week in an extensive interview with the Guardian. The seventeen-year-old attacker of Liverpool cited a number of examples in which he was treated racistly. Jürgen Klopp, manager of the Reds calls it brave that Brewster has told us about this.

I am very happy that he was so brave, but he had to be so. What he did is so important. I cannot believe that there are still people with such ideas. It is so odd that this is still happening in the world and that we need a seventeen-year-old boy to tell us that this kind of thing is still happening. We are very happy that he has made his story, but it is not a situation in which you want to see a seventeen-year-old in “, Klopp is quoted by the Guardian.

I understand Rhian’s frustrations towards UEFA one hundred per cent “, says the German manager of Liverpool,” The problem in life is that you need evidence, but nobody has heard it and there are no images of it. What can you do then? The teammate of the player being accused does not say that he heard it. We must ensure that it never happens again.

Referees should pay more attention to this. We need to talk about it in a serious way. It is great, but it is not about punishments. The point is that it never happens again. We are all responsible for that. I’ve never experienced it as a player. I had fellow players from many different countries. It can make you think that the problem does not exist. But it is very important that Rhian reminds us that the problem does still exist and that we have to think about it carefully “, concludes Klopp.
