Liverpool boss Klopp slams Manchester United legend Neville

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has hit back at Gary Neville after the Manchester United legend suggested that Liverpool will need to sacrifice success in the Champions League this season if they are to have any chance of winning the Premier League.

Neville recently claimed that due to the high-intensity Klopp’s side play at, it will be very difficult to sustain challenges both domestically and Europe.

However, Liverpool boss Klopp was clearly not impressed by these claims when it was put to him during his press conference before his sides Premier League encounter against Spurs tomorrow at Wembley.

“How does that work? Not play Champions League?” Klopp told his pre-match press conference.

“Gary should tell me how that works. How do you prepare for a game and not focus on it?

I don’t know what he means with that. We have to play football.

“A lot watch our games from the Champions League, it’s our job, to do the best we can do. We will see, I don’t know what it means, to focus on one competition, can only be if you’re nearly out of a competition, late in the season.

“But last year, we had no chance to focus on one competition, we had to qualify for the Champions League.

“Even Gary would say, don’t let City win, I don’t want to be too critical, sitting in an office is different to doing the job.

“What did he say about Man United in that situation? Nothing?”
