That’s a completely normal reaction because players are really going for him. That’s the truth. “He has to protect himself. If the opponent gets a yellow card he is closer to a red card. It is smart." Jurged Klopp's Liverpool will be facing PSG in their first game of the Champions League and Liverpool boss claims that they will not single out Neymar for specialist treatment during the game. "We don’t go for him against us. We want to play football. We want to win the ball. We don’t try to act on these type of things. “We try to avoid passes to him. It’s a big job. I don’t know if it’s possible to avoid his quality. I’m pretty sure it’s not. “He’s an outstanding player. He was not fit at the World Cup. He tried to play for his country without being fit."
