Jurgen Klopp was quick to dismiss claims that Darwin Nunes forced Pep Guardiola to start after Liverpool’s 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
While it wasn’t Uruguay’s best performance, United picked up a point from Manchester City, which is never a bad result. “It has nothing to do with a tough competition,” Klopp said in his post-match press conference. “I do not know what this means. It’s not a tough competition, we’re just rivals.
What is a bitter rival? Where have you seen people in trouble in the field?“What happened after this game had nothing to do with historically intense competition. I don’t think Darwin Nunes knows anything about this! emotion. I don’t know if I’m the one explaining this because I’m not involved. Amazing! “I didn’t interfere at all.” “I love them both so I tried to calm it down a bit because I didn’t know 100% what happened and I couldn’t understand a word. I don’t think it’s a problem that hasn’t been solved yet. It’s an emotion.
Pep wants to win and we want to win too. No one was really happy because neither side won. On a day when that could happen, Nunez didn’t get much involved in the game and missed two chances that should have been decisive in the final third. Had they calmed down, Liverpool would have walked away with their first win since 2015, when Klopp took United to Manchester for the first time.Liverpool.com says: It’s unclear what sparked Nunes’ anger, but it’s clear he’s ready to fight.
He shouldn’t be overconfident and clearly wants to do well for Liverpool. After a strong start to the season, there could be more to come from the 24-year-old. Let’s hope he can control his temper, sacking Liverpool and dominating Guardiola’s men in the Premier League.
