This is the phrase Jurgen Klopp said when he got a red card in the Liverpool vs Manchester City match.


Liverpool coach, Juergen Klopp, was relieved to accept referee Anthony Taylor's decision to send him off with a red card in the match against Manchester City.

The Liverpool vs Man City duel was the closing match of the 11th week of the Premier League, which was held at Anfield Stadium on Sunday (16/10/2022) night WIB.

The match ended 1-0 in favor of Liverpool.

In exactly the 86th minute, Klopp had to leave the field after receiving a red card from Anthony Taylor.

Anthony Taylor's decision could not be separated from the attitude of Klopp, who was angry when he vented his emotions in front of the linesman's face.

Klopp's emotions broke because the referee did not consider the incident of Mohamed Salah falling after a duel with Bernardo Silva as a violation.

After the match, Klopp was relieved to receive a red card from Anthony Taylor.

The German coach admitted he was guilty of not being able to keep his emotions in check.

However, Klopp continued to question Anthony Taylor's decision and the linesman continued when Mohamed Salah fell.

"Yes, it's about emotions. I deserved a red card. It was my fault. "I was too emotional at the time," Klopp was quoted as saying by the club's official website.

However, I want to make a little excuse. How can it (Mo Salah's fall after a duel with Bernardo Silva) not be a foul? " .

How could the referee not blow the whistle for the foul? How is that possible? "I hope there is an explanation for the foul," said the former Borussia Dortmund coach.

Overall, Klopp considered the referee's performance in the Liverpool vs Manchester City match very bad.

Klopp called Anthony Taylor inconsistent, especially regarding the assessment of violations.

Apart from that, Klopp said Anthony Taylor's decision to annul Man City midfielder Phil Foden's goal in the 53rd minute was right.

Klopp considers Foden's goal should have been disallowed because previously there was a violation against Liverpool midfielder Fabinho.

The winning goal for Liverpool was scored by Mohamed Salah in the 75th minute.

Receiving a long pass from Alisson Becker, Mo Salah immediately accelerated and then beat Man City goalkeeper Ederson with a left-footed shot.

The victory over Man City made Liverpool move up to 8th place in the Premier League standings with 13 points from nine matches.

Liverpool are currently 14 points behind Arsenal, who have played 10 times at the top of the table.

On the other hand, Manchester City, who have also played 10 times, are stuck in second place, four points behind Arsenal.
