Jurgen Klopp SLAMS the translator, who wrongly interpreted Jordan Henderson’s words
Jurgen Klopp has slammed the translator, who has wrongly interpreted Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson’s words during the pre-match press-conference ahead of the Champions League match with Red Bull Salzburg.
Klopp, who’s usually calm during the press-conferences, has been left furious with the job the translator had been doing.
Jordan Henderson was asked whether Liverpool’s European victory of the last season would help the team in this situation (Liverpool should not lose in the away match to qualify for the round of 16).
The question was in German and the translator told the reporter that Henderson’s expecting an easy game against Salzburg.
Klopp then interrupted the translator and said in German (via Mirror): "It's s*** when next to the translator sits a coach who speaks German.
"The question was if the Champions League title from the last year helps us because we have always delivered in situations like this.
"He [Henderson] doesn't talk about going easy in this game. We are aware of this challenge. He is speaking about all this normal stuff. You should really listen. Otherwise, I can do it by myself. It's not too difficult."
Salzburg and Liverpool will start their match at 19:00 (BST).
