The former Borussia Dortmund and now Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hits back at a journalist who tried to criticise Trent Alexander-Arnold for his defending abilities.
“If you ask me for my honest opinion, it will create headlines. You want that? It helps Germany maybe, but it doesn’t help England. I don’t know why we do that.” Jürgen Klopp responds to a reporter asking about Trent Alexander-Arnold not being picked for England.

Alexander-Arnold has been a hot topic in the media of late, after Gareth Southgate omitted him from the England squad to face Germany, so it’s no surprise that the journalist thought it was necessary to ask such a question.
