Jurgen Klopp made a big comeback Tuesday night at a press conference after his team's quarter-final defeat against Chelsea, but it was not so much the Reds' second straight loss that caused it. Asked at a press conference on the epidemic of coronavirus which strikes the world, the German trainer was annoyed that the media ask the opinions of people who are not specialized on the question.

Jürgen Klopp sobre el coronavirus:
“No entiendo ni me gusta que Simplye por el hecho de ser famoso mi opinión sea relevante sobre un tema del cual no soy experto ni tengo conocimiento. Yo is a simple tipo that léva una gorra de béisbol go bad afeitado ”. #CHELIV #FACup pic.twitter.com/gWeBZuxazQ

“What I don't like in life is that we ask the coaches for their opinions on very important issues that are not related to football. It doesn't matter what famous people say. You have to talk about the things you master […]. People with knowledge should give directions, not football coaches. […] Why ask me for my opinion? I'm just an unshaven man with a baseball cap. "

In principle, this observation seems correct and we would tend to applaud Klopp with both hands, except that in this very specific case, the journalist asked him if he was worried as a manager for the rest of the season. Question which, for once, did not seem frankly devoid of interest.
