5 Times Jurgen Klopp blamed odd reasons for not winning

#1 Broadcasters

Klopp has even blamed the broadcaster on one occasion

The ‘beautiful game’ is the most followed sport on the planet and the broadcasters have played a crucial part. In today’s day and age, it is rare to find a football match not reaching out to billions across the world and thus, the importance of TV channels can’t be overstated enough.

However, for a certain German at the helm of Liverpool FC, he found the broadcasters to have impeded him in his pursuit of victory.

Liverpool crashed out to West Brom in the FA Cup in 2018 and put in a lackadaisical display. But, in Klopp’s eyes, that was the least of his concern as he was more worried about BT Sport not according his team enough time to win the match.

In fairness to the German, there are certain drawbacks of the commercialisation of the game. Yet, such a reason certainly isn’t one of those.

Klopp didn’t cover himself in any glory when he wildly accused the match officials of cutting down on injury time to suit the channel’s needs.

Though he has come up with some insane explanations over the years, this one just takes the cake, with the proverbial cherry on top.

And boy, Mr Jurgen Klopp could surely have done better on that occasion.
