He kept saying he's not interested in the media's games and they kept asking so eventually he gave them their headline so they can go play with it, and the media and general people lap it up like they always do. He's not interested in people singling out one of his players, whether it's for criticism or praise.”
Exactly this. Klopp is always reasonable but smilingly firm with the media, his tolerance is commendable. This 'rant' is as dead as the dodo, it did not happen, I, and anyone with LFCTV will have watched several times looking for this blow up, it was not there, end of. The media twits may well have felt affronted that they couldn't get a rise out of him, so headlined it anyway. I remember them doing the exact same thing to Rodgers - probably the self same hack.
