Recently, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp suffered punishment from the English Football Association for a match against
Manchester City
He was fined £30,000 for displaying inappropriate demeanor during the match. Klopp showed strong resentment towards this. In the press conference immediately before the Premier League match, Klopp was emotional, claiming that had it been anyone else, the punishment from the English Football Association and the referee might not have been so harsh, and that his face could be worth a lot of money in the Premier League.
Jags suffer punishment
On October 16, Liverpool hosted Manchester City in the 11th round of the English Premier League. In the 86th minute of the game, Klopp expressed dissatisfaction with the referee's decision, and complained loudly on the sidelines, and was then shown a red card.On October 27, the English Football Association issued a notice announcing the final result of the punishment for Klopp: "The coach admitted that he had acted inappropriately and breached the E3 rule, and was therefore fined 30,000 pounds. "
In the notice, the English Football Association did not impose an additional ban on Klopp, but Klopp was not happy about it and believes he did not even have to pay the fine. "I know exactly what I said at the time. If I had been at a greater distance and in front of a different face, I think the outcome of this punishment would have inevitably been different." Klopp is convinced he received special treatment.
"At the time, my question to the referee was 'How can you not give a penalty? Why?' So my face is priceless. I'm not sure my face is really the most expensive in the world, but it certainly is here [in the Premier League]." Klopp said, "Despite the size of the fine, I heard that the money will be invested in beneficial projects, so that's good news at least."
"Should I have been banned? I am not really sure. I have not paid attention to what kind of punishment other coaches who have been shown red cards like me have ended up with." Klopp said. Last month, Leeds United manager Marsh was red-carded in a match and subsequently banned for one game and paid a £10,000 fine.
"I'm not happy about the result (fine only, no ban). I'm just waiting for the result of the penalty, accept it and move on. Before, my behavior was definitely not enough to be punished with a red card." Klopp expressed his feelings in this way.
