Hoffenheim boss Julian Nagelsmann angered by Jurgen Klopp following Liverpool defeat

HOFFENHEIM boss Julian Nagelsmann wasn’t impressed with Jurgen Klopp’s comments following their Champions League play-off clash last night.
crucial away goals.

Klopp was pleased with his side’s performance and believed his game plan of letting them play in the spaces as Hoffenheim were not dangerous was effective.

But Nagelsmann saw it differently with the German outfit enjoying 63 per cent possession and reacted angrily to Klopp’s comments in his post-match press conference.

“No, I don’t agree [with Klopp],” said Nagelsmann.
“We had the ball in many important spaces. He has to say that and defend his team.




“He won’t say ‘Hoffenheim played so well and we were s***’. I can give one example when (Sandro) Wagner played a square pass into space that was an important ball and another situations with Serge Gnabry and many others.

“I feel we played a really good match, especially in the first half and had the better, clearer chances.

“We had two good chances with Gnabry and the penalty, which was a bit unlucky.
“We didn’t allow loads of counter-attacks and then came the free-kick – and that was unlucky for us.
“The second goal Milner let himself celebrate but the shot was deflected. We weren’t the worst team but the least lucky.”

Liverpool welcome Hoffenheim to Anfield for the second-leg next Wednesday (19.45pm).
