Klopp: As long as your name is not Messi, you have to defend
The German coach Jürgen Klopp, the former manager of Liverpool, reaffirmed his strict philosophy in football, which is based on the principle of collective commitment on the field, both in attack and defense.
Klopp said in a press interview: "I have a fixed rule in football... As long as your name is not Lionel Messi, you must defend."
He added: "Throughout my career, I have not coached Lionel Messi, so there is no player with me who can say: No, no, I will not defend. Everyone must defend with me, no excuses."
The German coach left Liverpool in the summer of 2024 and is currently working as the head of global football at Red Bull, which owns several clubs around the world.
