The triple change that manager Jürgen Klopp made at Liverpool on Wednesday, leads to annoyance at Jan Boskamp. After exactly an hour of play, Klopp took his three top attackers Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mané to the side simultaneously against Ajax (0-1 win), presumably to give them a rest. Boskamp dismisses the striking changes as ‘arrogance’.

“I was annoyed by one thing: that Liverpool suddenly changed the three front players,” said Boskamp in a video item for Veronica Inside. “Yes … whether that could be called arrogant? I had that feeling. Basically the three best players, who have to score, and he takes them out. What kind of guy is that, dude? The arrogance went from being that guy. face off. “

Boskamp also did not fully understand the changes on the side of Ajax. Davy Klaassen, who according to him was well in the game, was taken to the side by trainer Erik ten Hag after 74 minutes. “With Klaassen you have scoring ability from the second line. But then you fall back on – with all due respect – Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Lassina Traoré. Huntelaar can make the difference, but against Liverpool it is very different when you are 37 . “

Boskamp also assesses Lisandro Martínez’s performance as ‘reasonable’. “And I could also live with Daley Blind in midfield”, said the former footballer, who is then confronted with the statements of Valentijn Driessen about Nicolás Tagliafico. Driessen states that the left back ‘has trouble with the top level that Ajax needs’. “I think Valentine says these crazy things every time on purpose,” smiles Boskamp. “If Lionel Messi is not with the Argentinian national team, then he is captain. Then you are not a cake baker.”
