Because of Stegemann: Jürgen Klopp “doesn’t understand the world anymore”

No penalty for Karim Adeyemi in Bochum? Jürgen Klopp, team manager of Liverpool FC and former champion coach of Borussia Dortmund, “no longer understood the world”. The fact that video assistant Robert Hartmann would have had to ask referee Sascha Stegemann to the screen would have been “the least the VAR should have done,” said Klopp table football.

The 55-year-old, who has massive trouble with the referees in England himself, voted like some of his colleagues for the possibility of an appeal. “A challenge would be the solution to avoiding something like this in the future,” said Klopp, referring to Danilo Soares’ foul on Adeyemi in the 1-1 draw between the Revier clubs last Friday.

“There are so many good examples of how this can work,” emphasized Klopp: “In hockey, for example, the challenge has long since proven its worth.” The model is therefore an “interesting idea for football”.
