LIVERPOOL. — Manager Jurgen Klopp urged Liverpool supporters not to sing his name after an impressive 4-1 victory over defending English Premier League soccer champions Leicester marked the opening of a new-look Anfield in impressive fashion. The extrovert German was seen remonstrating with home fans at one point in the second half of Saturday’s match as they chanted his name in appreciation of a memorable inauguration of a new main stand which has raised the capacity at Anfield to 55 000.
“I’m really on the side of the players, I really am,” said Klopp. “I’m responsible for the bad performances, they’re responsible for the good performances. It’s quite a simple deal.” — AFP.
