A remarkable incident on Thursday evening after Liverpool’s game against Manchester United (2-4). Sadio Mané, who had only come on fifteen minutes before the end, blatantly refused to shake hands with manager Jürgen Klopp. The German trainer then walked away from the wing attacker, somewhat surprised. In the studio of Sky Sports shame was spoken about the action of the evil Mane. Klopp thinks it’s all just a storm in a glass of water.
“As far as I am concerned, there are no problems,” Klopp said in conversation with the BBC. “At yesterday’s final practice (Wednesday, ed.) I decided to give preference to Diogo Jota. Normally I would just explain such a decision, but there was no time for that this time. But there was a problem. is out of the question. I also only made a change to the training late, while my boys are used to just getting text and explanations. There was no time and I simply forgot. it’s behind us, ”said the winning coach.

Graeme Souness, former Liverpool player and manager, fielded in the studio of Sky Sports a harsh judgment on the refusing Mané. “It is just disrespectful to the manager, but above all to Liverpool as a club. I understand that he is disappointed with his role as a reserve. But it is not surprising, because he is not having a great season. Liverpool win here 2- 4, which is uncommon. So there is absolutely no reason to question Klopp’s choice. It never happened to me as a manager, so I don’t know what I would do in such a situation. ”
Fellow analyst Roy Keane is a bit milder for the winger the Reds. “Mane is indeed wrong there. But as a player I also found it annoying as a manager high fives came to give. That has now become a kind of trend. Now if you see that a player is angry, just walk away. Klopp even gave in high fives to Manchester United players, I think that’s bad enough, “said the clear Keane.
