Jurgen Klopp thinks it's inappropriate to expect players to protest while at the Qatar World Cup since "they go there to play football."
It is incorrect to anticipate players to protest while competing at the Qatar World Cup, according to Jurgen Klopp.
For the first time ever, the contentious event will start later this month and take place during the winter in Europe.
Since 2010, there has been intense controversy over the decision to allow Qatar to host the tournament due to the country's dubious human rights record and stringent policies pertaining to issues like homosexuality and alcohol prohibitions.
The manager of Liverpool believes FIFA and those who decided to give the Gulf nation the opportunity to host the tournament should take the brunt of the criticism. Some of the competing nations' captains have consented to wear armbands with the message "One Love."
"I don't like that we now demand action from the players. To play football, they travel there, the Liverpool manager told Sky News (via 90MIN).
It is not the responsibility of the athletes in this generation to say, "We don't go, or we don't do that. If you want to criticise anyone, criticise the people who made the choice to hold the World Cup in Qatar because they were the ones who decided it.
Many Liverpool players, including Virgil van Dijk, Alisson Becker, and Darwin Nunez, are anticipated to participate in the competition, with the final scheduled for December 18.
Diogo Jota's hamstring injury, which he suffered during our triumph over Manchester City last month, has forced him to withdraw from the competition, which is a major setback for the Portugal star.
On Boxing Day, the Reds will meet Aston Villa at Villa Park in the return of Premier League action. Let's hope that our No. 20 and Luis Diaz will be well and ready to go before then.
