It is pure luck that the football player of
the opponent did not kill our player said
also the German manager
Once again, Jurgen Klopp’s manager complained about refereeing to the detriment of his team. According to the eccentric German, in the derby with “Manchester City”, the referees damaged the “reds”. The most serious claims of Klopp, who will leave Anfield at the end of the season, are for an undecided penalty in favor of Liverpool. Deep in the extra time of the mega derby, with the score 1:1, the Belgian Doku from “City” knocked the ball, which was on the chest of Alexis McAllister, with a karate kick. The “Liverpool” player collapsed in the penalty area, and after a review with the VAR, the referees were adamant that there was no foul.
“If it wasn’t for the ball, Doku would have killed McAllister”, said the manager of “Liverpool” on the occasion of the most controversial incident in the derby with “Manchester City”. The match ended 1:1 and so the battle for the first place in the Premier League continues. “Arsenal” is the leader, but “Liverpool” also has so many points. The champion “City” is 1 behind the leaders.
“This is a 100 percent violation and a yellow card at absolutely every position on the field. Yes, Doku plays with the ball, but it is a dangerous game and endangers the health of our footballer. Things were as we saw them.
It’s a penalty

If you think it’s not a penalty, maybe you’re not a football person,” Klopp said after the match in his typical peppery style.
The German manager of “Liverpool” pointed out that the match with “City” is at least the 5th in which the team led by him received a referee’s tesla.
“I can no longer remain silent on the topic with the referees. Why does the guy in the VAR room think this isn’t clear and obvious? What must you have had for lunch to think that? If we had won, we would have been four points ahead of City. But whatever I think now, it won’t change anything,” added Klopp.
A number of specialists in England are adamant that the Merseyside coach has a point. And referee Michael Oliver, as well as his VAR assistants, were wrong.
“Liverpool” should have received a penalty in added time, but this is the problem in the Premier League at the moment – the referees make mistakes and the VAR does not help them. The ball bounces up, Alexis McAllister moves towards it and Doku’s leg is up high and he chests it. Outside the box it would have been a foul at any time. Just because it happened in the box doesn’t make it a clean tackle,” said one of the best referees in Premier League history – Mike Clattenburg.

The coach who won the historic treble last season with the “Citizens” refused to comment on the referee’s decisions and did not answer the questions related to the controversial situations at all.
“It’s not easy, but we never stopped trying to play. Our opponent had his chances. We missed out too. In the end it was a draw,” commented Guardiola.
If Pep’s “citizens” win the Premier League again, it will be their 4th consecutive trophy from the English championship. No club in history has ever managed to achieve such a feat.
“There are still 10 games until the end of the campaign. We are only a point away, that is, we are in the fight for the title. Except for one year when Liverpool won by a lot of points, we were always around the top,” concluded Pep.
