Klopp's fury over the noise at the press conference
Reading Time: 3min | Fri. 10.11.23. | 11:12
The journalists and the coach were in a tent opposite the stadium
After three victories in the group stage, and just as they were to secure the first spot in their group, Liverpool suffered their first defeat. The home team won 3:2 and postponed the Reds' passage to the next stage, and at the same time, it introduced uncertainty as to who will go to the round of 16 as the first-place team, and who will have to go to the playoffs with the team participating in the Champions League competition. Understandably, Jürgen Klopp was nervous after the match because his team missed the chance to play the remaining two games in the group.
But above all, he was furious with the way Toulouse/UEFA organized the post-match conference. The event was organized in a tent across the road! That meant that the German coach and the journalists had to fight through huge crowds to get there, and then you couldn’t hear a word he said due to crowd noise.
"We were organized like this press conference - quite chaotic. Who had the idea to do the press conference here? That will be a really interesting question. Wow" Liverpool's coach started his analysis of the game with a clear irony in his voice due to poor organization. He then stopped for a few seconds and listened to the Toulouse fans singing.

Nevertheless, Klopp fulfilled the obligation required by the protocol and gave his review of the match.
"We weren't aggressive enough. We lost the ball easily and made big mistakes. With the possession we had, it would have been logical to create chances, but instead we conceded three goals. They fought harder than us and deservedly won. You can play good as you want, but if you're not winning duels and winning balls, then you have no chance of winning. To be honest, I'm worried because I think we should have played better. That's my biggest concern" said the German.
Liverpool could have come home with a point, but referee Georgi Kabakov from Bulgaria disallowed young stopper Jerel Kwansa's debut for a handball by Alexis McAllister. Klopp, however, disagrees with the referee's decision.
"I watched the video and, in my opinion, there was no handball. But I don't decide on that" Klopp said. In the next round, Liverpool plays against LASK at home, and in the last with Union Saint-Giloise in Belgium. One victory will be enough to pass, and considering the two point’s advantage over Toulouse, it is expected that the English representative will go to the round of 16 as the first in the group.
