"This is nonsense." Carragher defends Klopp amidst his move to Red Bull and accuses fans of hypocris
The news that Jürgen Klopp has taken charge of the football division at Red Bull sparked mixed reactions in the German football community, with fans of Borussia Dortmund and Mainz, where he previously worked, labeling the coach almost as a traitor. However, Jamie Carragher came to the defense of the legendary Liverpool manager.
Details: The former Liverpool midfielder accused Dortmund fans of hypocrisy, pointing out that their rejection of Red Bull's model didn’t stop them from buying Erling Haaland from Salzburg.
Quote: "I think it's nonsense. He’s a manager of a certain type, a man of the people. Does Klopp have to stick to the ideals of Mainz and Borussia Dortmund for life? We're all hypocrites; if someone offers us enough money, we'd probably do the same.
If they’re so against Red Bull’s model, then why did Borussia buy Haaland? If you’re so opposed to their model, then don’t buy or sell players with them. In the end, they got the best striker in the world and, by the way, sold him to Manchester City for peanuts," said Carragher on Paramount+.
