“I did not expect from JürgenI have so much respect that perhaps it is a little angry it is because Salzburg is not in the competition because he is director of Reb Bull. When Liverpool played, nobody complains, when they receive money, nobody complains. I think that You have to have more respect in these tournaments“, replied forcefully criticism launched by the Football Director of the Red Bull Group. And it is that the former coach attacked with everything after launching a clear message and without nuances against the New format that FIFA has launched this summer in the United States after qualifying it as “The worst idea never implemented in football”.
Klopp's hard message
Hristo, who demonstrated his direct style and without filters again, He did not hesitate to respond with the same forcefulness After listing the positive things of a new tournament that is serving to UP TO THE WORLD PALETRA to talents perhaps unknown to the general public. “I had to play it in the past, when they were just some games, but I think so much Gianni (Infantino) and FIFA have done something different. Many cultures, new systems, new tactics, many different teams that were not known before playing a tournament like this“He explained.
Yesterday Maresca complained about the rains, but what do we do? Do we give a remote control to Infantino to stop the rains?
“Everything is fantastically well. First, the public has never lacked in the field, except a party where there were suspension notices for thunderstorms. Yesterday Maresca (Chelsea) He also complained about the rain, but what do we do? Do we give a remote control to Infantino to stop the rains?. They complain about anything, “he criticized.
Raphinha's hard criticism
“One has to go and point, because we follow orders, we have to be there playing. And, as a European club player, renouncing my vacation to play a new tournament is very complicated”he criticized hard Raphinhawho is enjoying his vacations after Barça did not qualify for the Club World Cup to Do not get enough points in the FIFA ranking. The Brazilian striker defended the rights of the players to a calendar that does not allow them to have at least three weeks “on vacation between one season and the next.
“It is very bad to have to give up your vacation for playing something you are forced, because at no time they asked the players about nothing.”he launched. A criticism with which Hristo has either bit his tongue after being asked about MARK.
They do not complain when they charge 20 million a year, there calmly to see if they play from Saturday to Saturday
“Very good, but next year (World Selections) Raphinha is going to play here, that one forgets. The World Cup next year is here, I also played here … Then you have to calm the spirits a bit, “he replied before talking about the accumulation of matches.” Before there were two changes and now there are five, which is half a team that you can change at rest. Another in the extension. If you complain about this, it seems unfair to me. As if we had never played football or we never got to play so many games during the year, “he replied from experience.
The complaints of those who are not in the tournament
“For me everything is fantastically well thought out and hopefully this continues because football is a party for everyone. Who doesn't like to play? Look, now give me the boots and a ball and I get to play because I like football. The organization is being fantastically good and I don't see any complaints on the part of the people, “he said before returning to Raphinha's criticism.
Klopp that prefers: go playing China, Japan and Indonesia or playing a competition where it gives you a much bigger prestige?
“They do not complain when they charge 20 million a year, there calmly to see if they play from Saturday to Saturdaywithout playing Copa del Rey, without playing the FA Cup, without playing the Cup Cup. All those glasses that have that are worthless. Years ago they were worth, because perhaps they were in the UEFA. Now in Spain they already have six teams for the Champions League. To England the same, to Italy the same. That they complain I have no idea, “he said.
“Let's see, he would prefer, Go to play China, Japan or Indonesia, or play a competition where it gives you a much bigger prestige? Notice that he with Liverpool also played in these tournaments in previous years. There I did not hear Klopp that complained that suddenly. Maybe he lacked other teams that Red Bull put to be there. It is an important tournament, an tournament where there are many young players who are also starting, there are many players who give you this possibility that you can do to play a tournament, “he settled.
