Klopp? Endo.Has he lost any asian players? It's every 4 years.
Klopp? Endo.
Ok so you didn't even read/watch the original thing I postedWell i'm sure klopp would include japan in the joke aswell.

Why am I not allowed to find a "joke" disrespectful? My country of birth and the country I live in are both competing and it's a hugely important competition for both. Not to mention the country of our club's captain. Oh and the trophy that properly launched our head coach's career.Yes then you started going on about klopps joke being disrespectful. It was a joke. That he wouldn't make about the euros because they are not played in the middle of the season.

If it was just Klopp who had this attitude, sure. But it's not. It's prevalent among people in Europe who don't want to acknowledge football exists elsewhere, on different timescales. It's why literally no one but me fancied Ange before he came in.
Oh and I don't think it was a joke from Klopp. If FIFA didn't protect AFCON and the Asian Cup, I'd bet good money he would prohibit his players from going.
We heard from conte, asking why it was always the manager, not anyone else?
This season isn't so bad. 1 game a week. Means 2 press conferences. 2 games a week though is 4.
You can see ange getting the needle. It doesn't have to be that way. It's your opinion that this is what he wants.
Yet the last 2 he has got the needle.
It’s disrespectful. He wouldn’t be saying it about the Euros.
Would Klopp be happy to make that "joke" about British players getting knocked out of World or European competitions early so they could ready for him?
I would rather watch that than F1.It’s like F1 drivers pulling out of GP’s to go banger racing instead.
Agree I dont care about AFCON but most of the players in it have great national pride, whether you agree or not it's a big thing for them and saying you hope their dreams fail is poor man management, these thought should be kept to yourself, but he cant stop looking to be the story.
It's one of those "it's OK to think it, just don't say it" situations. Especially for a manager at his level.
Can’t believe I’ve sticking up for that clam, but if more managers were honest about it we might actually get this nonsense sorted.
It’s been going on for too long.
