Jurgen Klopp is clearly not a fan of Didi Hamann, Erling Haaland’s next move is off, and Julen Lopetegui rejects Wolves.
Here are today’s English football news headlines.
Today’s talk: Klopp responds to Hamann
yourgen club Strong reaction when Didi Hamann spoke during the press conference before the Champions League meeting with Rangers, something that Metro noted.
A reporter said Liverpool were said to need to find the spark, and Klopp questioned who said that. When the reporter answered that he was Hamann, it became clear that the Liverpool boss had little to spare for his compatriot’s opinions.
“Oh, he’s a wonderful source, and he’s so respected all around,” says Klopp in a sarcastic tone.
(Being a former Liverpool player) doesn’t give you the right to say what you want, especially when you don’t have proof. I don’t think Didi Hamann deserves you to use his phrase to ask me questions. Do me a favor and ask your questions Try to ask a question without the word “spark”, that’s the challenge now.
Klopp may have triggered Hamann’s comments earlier this week when the latter suggested the Liverpool boss could lose his job if results do not improve.
“In the end, I think we’ll have a discussion about the manager and I’m not sure how far we are from this,” Hamann said, among other things, on the talkSPORT radio channel.
Today’s master plan: Erling Haaland’s next step
The Daily Mail believes that Erling Haaland’s takeover clause is part of the Norwegian’s larger plan. Several newspapers and websites, of which The Athletic was first, reported last week about a clause that for 175 million pounds (just over 2 billion Swedish kronor) the club could activate within two years. The gist is that it doesn’t have to be one Premier LeagueThe club, which means most people think that Haaland’s next step in his career could be Real Madrid.
Today’s quote: The Glazers don’t want to sell United
They (the Glazers) don’t want to sell the club. It is owned by the six sons and the father. If he’s on sale this summer, well, maybe we’d give him a shot after the Chelsea thing. But we can’t just sit back and wait for Manchester United to be available one day, Jim Ratcliffe says at a Financial Time event according to The Mirror.
The British business leader explored the possibility of buying both Chelsea and then United earlier this year.
Today no: No Lopetegui for wolves
Julen Lopetegui rejects wolves, reports the Daily Mail. The Spaniard, who recently left Sevilla, was the club’s first choice in the Premier League to replace sacked Bruno Lage. But for family reasons, Lopetegui chose to refuse. And so interim coaches Steve Davis and James Collins will continue to lead the team for as long as possible.
NEWS OF THE DAY: Unclear about James
Reece James scored from the San Siro during Chelsea’s 2-0 win over AC Milan. Coach Graham Potter believes it is too early to say how severe the player’s injury will be.
We hope he’s okay, Potter adds in an interview with BT.
At the meeting, Fikayo Tomori, as a former Chelsea player, became the second defender ever to be sent off against his former club in the Champions League. The first to achieve this was Tel Ben Haim for Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2015.
