The man crushes him!” is the reason why Manchester City did not give up a late penalty against Liverpool FC. Jurgen Klopp was able to set the record straight

Following the high challenge that Jeremy Doku made on Alexis Mac Allister, Jurgen Klopp was incensed by the decision that Liverpool was not awarded a penalty kick in the last minutes of their match against Manchester City.

During Liverpool’s match against Manchester City, Jurgen Klopp preemptively addressed the official explanation for the late issue that occurred. He also stated that he anticipates receiving a call from the PGMOL chief Howard Webb on Monday.

Due to the fact that Jeremy Doku allowed a ball to bounce in the area and looked to catch Alexis Mac Allister in the chest as he lifted his boot in an attempt to clear the danger, Liverpool experienced a great deal of rage. Doku appeared to have made a minor contact with the ball, according to the replays; however, other views showed that Mac Allister may have been the one who got to the ball first.

Referee Michael Oliver dismissed the appeals, and the video assistant referee, Stuart Attwell, concurred with the decision of the on-field referee. At full time, Klopp went up to Oliver and pleaded his case. After that, he told the commentators, “[It was] a penalty for all football people.” In every single position on the field, this circumstance constitutes a foul in every single instance. This is a foul that will result in a yellow card being issued.

I also observed what Pep Guardiola did in comparison to Jurgen Klopp when he was in charge of the team, and it confirmed Jurgen Klopp’s point at Anfield.

Klopp continued to believe that the challenge justified a penalty, adding, “Because he [Doku] hit the ball, yes.” This was despite the fact that he acknowledged that Doku might have been the first to get the ball. However, he was only able to hit the ball because his foot was in that exact location. Indeed, he was successful in hitting the ball. However, if the ball is not present, he will kill him to death! Because that is the way it is, it is as simple as that.

Everyone who plays football is subject to the penalty. It is a penalty for individuals who play football; if you believe that it is not a penalty, then perhaps you are not actually a lover of football.

In an additional interview, Klopp commented: “It’s a clear penalty, somebody will explain the reason why it’s not or Howard Webb will call us tomorrow, both things will not change the result!”

On the other hand, once Klopp had completed his television interviews, he went to his press conference with a more level head. The statement that he made was, “Yeah, I believe it was a penalty; however, whatever I think now will not change that.” Every situation has a rationale behind it. If he blows the whistle on a penalty, I believe that everyone in this room believes that it is not a scandalous act.

“He strikes him roughly on the chest. In fact, he has touched the ball in the past. Does the fact that your leg is located at such a high height make any difference in any position on the pitch? You have the option of kicking the ball before, and once the foot is here, you continue on your way. In spite of the fact that it is not a red card, I talk about it so frequently that I truly don’t care about it. I have already moved on from it, and everything is OK. At the very least, I am conscious of the fact that nothing I say will alter it.

According to MEN Sport, the video assistant referee (VAR) did not reverse Oliver’s decision made on the pitch since they found that Doku was the one who played the ball. According to Peter Drury, who provided analysis for Sky Sports, the conversation with the video assistant referee (VAR) came to the conclusion that “Doku was adjudged to have challenged the ball in a reasonable position.”

Despite the fact that Klopp and Liverpool may be fuming, their contention that the challenge was a foul regardless of whether or not Doku got a touch on the ball will not be accepted by the Premier League or the Professional Footballers’ Association International League.
