Liverpool are preparing for a festive game against Aston Villa and ahead of the game Jurgen Klopp was asked to comment on the actions of one of our opponents for the match.
The 55-year-old was asked his opinion on Emi Martinez’s unsportsmanlike behavior during the World Cup final penalty shootout and said: “Nothing to say about it.” [Martinez debate], congratulations on winning the World Cup. It was well deserved, a tough match and after 80 minutes the best final I’ve seen in my life. It was absolutely special.”

It was good that our boss managed not to get dragged into commenting on the 30-year-old and especially before possibly facing him at Villa Park, considering he’s ready to play once again after some considerable celebrations.
Our job is to look after ourselves and hopefully leave Birmingham with all three points. If we get a penalty, let’s hope the Reds do better than the French in Qatar.
