Jurgen Klopp responds to Lampard 'arrogant claims: "He needs to learn"

Jurgen Klopp has dismissed any idea his team is arrogant after Frank Lampard's warning. The German has told his Chelsea counterpart he needs to learn to not talk about whatever happens on the touchline post-match. Lampard was critical of Liverpool's touchline conduct in their midweek Premier League match, which Liverpool won 5-3 at Anfield. e warned Liverpool "don't get too arrogant" with their success postmatch. Klopp was asked about Lampard's warning, he gave his take on Lampard's criticism and said the Chelsea manager needs to learn when to stop talking about what happened on the field. "We are not arrogant. Frank was in a competitive mood, I respect that a lot," Klopp said. "From my point of view, in this situation [mid-match] you can say pretty much what you want... he came here to win the game, or get a point to help with Champions League qualification and I respect that. "What he has to learn is to finish it with the last whistle and he didn't do that. Speaking afterwards about it, is not OK. Frank has to learn this, he has a lot of time to learn as he's a young coach, but he has to learn this. "We are not arrogant, we are pretty much the opposite. Final whistle, close the book and he didn't do that and that's what I don't like." Klopp clarified his view, adding that he would not have spoken about Lampard. "As he spoke afterwards, it makes sense to speak about what I mean," Klopp added. Source: ESPN
