Diego Simeone Explains Why He Snubbed Handshake With Jurgen Klopp After Atletico by chikason22(m): 5:10am On Oct 20, 2021 |
Diego Simeone has defended his decision to refuse a handshake with Jurgen Klopp following Atletico Madrid’s 3-2 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League, claiming ‘it’s not healthy for either the winner or the loser’. It was a night of high drama at the Wanda Metropolitano, with Mohamed Salah holding his nerve to score a decisive penalty in the 78th minute after Antoine Griezmann was shown a red card. Griezmann had earlier dragged Atleti back into the contest with a quickfire double in the first half to cancel out goals from Salah and Naby Keita in the opening 13 minutes. The result saw Liverpool open up a five-point lead over the La Liga champions at the top of the group, but Simeone’s extraordinary behaviour at the full-time whistle dominated discussion after the game. Klopp – who admitted he did not like Atleti’s playing style in the build-up – looked furious as his counterpart turned down a traditional handshake and instead sprinted straight down the tunnel. ‘I don’t always greet (the other manager) after the game because I don’t like it,’ Simeone told reporters when asked about the incident at his post-match press conference. ‘It’s not healthy for either the winner or the loser. I think of it that way. ‘But now, when I see him, I’ll greet him without a problem. Klopp was upset with Simeone’s behaviour but blamed it on the ’emotions’ that came with a match of such importance in the context of the group. ‘The situation is clear, I wanted to shake his hand and he didn’t want to. His reaction was for sure not right and mine was not too good as well,’ the Liverpool manager told BT Sport. https://metro.co.uk/2021/10/19/diego-simeone-explains-why-he-snubbed-handshake-with-jurgen-klopp-after-atletico-madrids-defeat-to-liverpool-15452331/?ito=newsnow-feed

paulolee:They don't deserve a single gram of point. Did you see what they wanted to do. Play that stupid style of parking bus and frustrating their opponents. Liverpool came prepared and that's resulted in two quick goals. It was when they saw the plan won't work again this time around, that they decided to play what we call football. Otherwise, it would have been that boring playing style of never coming out to play. Did they deserve a point. Answer is a capital NO 2 Likes |
