Gary Neville gave a rant on Sunday about the twelve clubs that are in the process of setting up a Super League. The former Manchester United defender believes that the clubs in question should be severely punished. Jürgen Klopp feels like a manager of Liverpool, one of the founding fathers of the new top competition, feels addressed by Neville and the German coach therefore replies to the analyst.
“Gary Neville is talking about ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ and that it would have no value anymore. That should be banned. We have the right to sing that song, it’s ours, not his,” said Klopp on Monday night after the 1-1 draw against Leeds United opposite Sky Sports. “He doesn’t get that song anyway and it’s not fair what he says. I don’t talk about other clubs and neither should Gary. I would like to see him in a top position as a manager and not just where most money can be made. At Manchester United he was at the club with the most money and now at Sky that is again the case “, Klopp hands out a teasing blow to the former player of the Red Devils.
Neville goes viral: ‘Relegate Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal’
The analyst makes short work of the clubs that want to participate in the Super League.
The somewhat cynical words did not go very well with Neville, who immediately came up with a pretty fierce reaction in the studio of Sky Sports. “Over the years I have insulted Liverpool often enough, but that was not the case last Sunday. I also do not really understand why I have such a prominent place in Klopp’s head,” said Neville in his role of analyst. “I also don’t know why he feels addressed. I just made a fiery plea about football and protecting football in this country. My biggest disappointment was with Manchester United and Liverpool. I think I have both clubs in the last 24 hours. just as many times, so I don’t quite get the problem. “
“Klopp talks about a top position as a manager,” the former Valencia coach continued. “I spent 25 years at Manchester United and now 11 years at Sky. I worked hard for that, I didn’t get it as a gift. And it’s also not true that I always chose the most money. There was no choice. me. Sir Alex Ferguson didn’t ask me every year if I would please stay with the club. So I have no idea what Klopp is talking about. I employ 600 people in the city (in a hotel in Manchester, ed.), I tried to take care of them during this pandemic. Isn’t that for him the same as a top position as a manager? ”Neville wondered aloud.
Neville emphasized that he has no further problem with Klopp. “He’s done a fantastic job at Liverpool and I’ve really enjoyed his team. But the fact is, he’s got a prickly reaction and he’s been abandoned by the Liverpool owners. They really threw him under the bus as a manager. are in the same boat, except that Klopp can’t say what he wants and I can. But that’s not a problem for me. The Jürgen Klopp I know, we know and Liverpool fans really hates every detail of the Super League. Even more so than I. It goes against everything he stands for in his life. The owners of Liverpool just leave him and the players out in the cold, “said Neville.
