Liverpool manager says response to the
Coronavirus pandemic in
England and
Germany ‘came from two different planets’
Jürgen Klopp could not be diplomatic if he tried. But for the record, let it be known that he did try. When press conferences resumed in the past few days, he was faced almost immediately with a zinger of a question about whether he ever worried the
British government’s mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic might cost
Liverpool their chance to win the
Premier League title on the pitch.
“I am a sportsperson and I don’t want to say what I really think about the situation because it would open a Pandora’s box,” the Liverpool manager said. “I was not worried for one second the government could cost us the title because I was worried, and I am still worried, about the numbers who were dying.”
