If you put all of Ramos’ actions together – and I’ve been watching football since I was five – you’ll see a lot of things going on with Ramos. I think in a situation like Ramos with Salah, someone needs to judge it better. With VAR, it’s a situation you need to look at again… He was ruthless. I don’t think Mo would have always gotten hurt in that situation. He was unlucky this time. I’m not sure if it’s something we’ll see again: elbowing the goalkeeper, bringing down an opponent like a fighter in midfield and then winning the game” the German coach said back in 2018.’As fake as his teeth’: Klopp blasted over Red Bull roleA lot of water has gone under the bridge and six years have gone by. Klopp is now the former Liverpool coach and is soon to take his new role in the Red Bull empire but when it comes to Sergio Ramos, he doesn’t change his mind. Klopp was a guest in the ‘Einfach mal Lupen’ podcast hosted by Toni Kroos and his brother Felix, and that topic came along. “Is Mr Sergio Ramos really a good guy? He’s not my favourite player. The action was brutal. Of course, he can’t know that it’s bothering his shoulder, but we all know that he accepted it very happily. I could never understand that mentality, I never had players like that and, when I did, I made sure they left“ he said, to which Kroos praised his former teammate saying that “Sergio is a good teammate” and asked Klopp if he would have Ramos in his team, but the German: “I find it hard to believe. He may not be my favourite player, but it doesn’t matter. I always thought that my centre-backs were good enough not to be involved in actions like that” he said. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8456968##
