Napoli gave Liverpool no respite and, from an almost perfect first half, completed a historic victory in Italy. Two from Zielinski, one from Zambo Anguissa and one from Giovanni Simeone, for a 4-1 that would end up decorating the Colombian Luis Díaz. The Neapolitan team will be remembered, but the news has to do with something that happened before the game, and more precisely in the press conference.
Within hours of starting the match, Jurgen Klopp gave a lecture where he talked about the commitment that was coming to Liverpool, but there was one question that caught his attention. Before the meeting, a reporter intervened and launched: “Today Liverpool’s social media have posted several messages asking fans to be careful in the city. I was wondering if you would like to reassure the fans. “
It seems that Jurgen was not only confused by the question, but also annoyed. The German DT came out at the intersection and replied: “Your question embarrasses me. Want to create titles, I really don’t understand. Are you from Naples? Do you think it is a dangerous city? I do not know. I don’t live a normal life in Naples. I am protected here, I go to the hotel and now you ask me what I think of Napoli“.
“You know exactly what people are talking about and if some supporters meet other supporters, something can happen. This has nothing to do with the city. So I don’t know, but I’m not here to create headlines for you. If you don’t know anymore. what to ask no problem, because I would love to go to the hotel to concentrate on tomorrow’s game. It seems that you no longer know what to ask “, Klopp closed.
The truth is these statements did not go in the best way in Uefa, much less in Napoli. On the part of the European body, in fact, they would have opened an investigation to clarify the position of the German, since in times of tension his words have not brought calm to any of the parties.
Liverpool and the statement of the controversy
The controversy over the arrival of Liverpool and its fans in Naples settled on Tuesday, when an official report from the ‘Reds’ came out a rather controversial claim, in which he warned fans of the dangers of his visit to Italian lands. not only himself accumulated more than 10 thousand interactionsbut also caused more than 500 tickets to be returned intended for the British.
The text, released by the account Help Liverpool FC on Twitter read: “Fans should not congregate in public areas and should avoid isolating themselves in areas away from the port area of the city. We strongly recommend that you avoid the city center. If you choose to visit this area, be aware that it can be object of theft, robbery or assault “.
Napoli fans have spoken out to repudiate Liverpool’s statement and, fortunately, the match could take place under normal conditions and there were no violent incidents to regret. In the end it was victory for the Neapolitans and the party was complete. Now, the “Reds” have their heads in Saturday’s game against Wolverhampton.
