“War”: Klopp ‘fires back’ at Lampard after calling Liverpool bench ‘arrogant’

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has hit out at Frank Lampard for calling the Liverpool bench ‘arrogant’ after their touchline spat at Anfield on Wednesday night.

According to Klopp, Lampard needs to learn not to carry disputes during games into his post-match interview.

“We are not arrogant. We are pretty much the opposite,” Klopp said on Friday.

“Frank was in a competitive mood, I respect that a lot. For me after the game it’s over. What Frank has to learn is to finish it with the last whistle.

“Speaking about it after that is not okay. During the game, words used ok, But final whistle, close the book. He didn’t do that and I don’t like that.

“From my point of view you can say what you want, it’s after the game it’s completely over. I’ve said a lot in the past.

“He came here to win the game to make Chelsea qualify for champions league. I respect that a lot, what he has to learn to finish it with the last whistle. He didn’t do that.”
