Klopp and Mourinho found points of contact

Tottenham and Liverpool coaches Jose Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp respectively found common ground in complaints about the Premier League.

Jurgen Klopp criticized the Premier League for an inconvenient calendar last week, according to which Liverpool, after the match against Atalanta on Wednesday, which ended at 23:00 pm Central European time, then met with Brighton on Saturday at 13:30. The German complained that he had no one to rotate the squad with, since the other players, according to him, were children. By the way, these children (Rhys Williams and Neco Williams) formed a stronghold of defense in the lost duel with Atalanta at Anfield.

Klopp summed up his speech by saying that at this rate, the Reds will finish the season with 11 healthy players. These words were parried by Jurgen's main opponent in the current season, Jose Mourinho, who shared the first place with Liverpool after the ninth round of the Premier League. But the Portuguese manager did not forget to stand out against the expressive German, recalling his coaching experience in the Premier League,

“Klopp joined the Premier League in 2015. I came here in 2004, so what he knows since 2015, I have known since 2004. And nothing changes. We have to adapt to this. It is what it is,” said Mourinho.

It seems to us that Mourinho is finally starting to return to his element. After leaving for Manchester United, he dropped out of the championship race and in most cases he did not have the legal right to rock the boat with statements. Now, against the backdrop of the failures of a competitor, it is he who is fighting for the first place with Klopp as of the end of November.

Therefore, Jose does not forget to stir up interest in the fight for the Premier League, as he did before with Antonio Conte, Arsene Wenger or Alex Ferguson. Mourinho returns to the information space of the Premier League and soon we will witness interesting skirmishes between the Portuguese and the German. It will be interesting to see how Klopp responds to the taunts of his counterpart, in addition to objective statements about the regulations, five substitutes, a calendar and many players in his own team's infirmary.
