Reporter: Jurgen, you must be disappointed
that you hadn't won that game
Klopp: Yes
Reporter: And what do you think was
decisive?
Klopp: We scored twice, they scored twice
It's the first reason probably
the rest is
for me it's completely difficult to
assume the game because
I'm not experienced, I have no idea what I
considerations like this I have no idea what I could have expected
from the performance side so
I thought we started really well
and we lost concentration
that's not usual for us
but of course happened before
could be because of the fixtures
I'm not sure
Sunderland came a little bit in the game
But it was clear it was at home already
difficult against Sunderland, who are so good.
good transition game
specially with Defoe and Borini
and the the goal was after throw
after throw in I think the penalty.
Second half again, dominated the game
Usually I would say we could have
done better but I don't know exactly if we
could have done better
because I was not in the boots
we scored the second goal
felt good, felt deserved.
then, I would say no foul
but free kick
I saw it again so it was
no contact.
then ball... hand ball.
two - two that's how it is.
So, doesn't feel really
Must be honest, it doesn't feel good.
and it's not because of the point it's because of
two penalties in a game... (shakes his head)
what all usually I have to do
to get a penalty and today ... two
free kick on this side and no free kick, that was harsh
very hard to accept but
obviously I have to accept it so I will do it
Reporter: Do you feel that of all those major incidents
it was the free kick that
the second penalty that you were
most upset about and perhaps you were talking
to the referee about at the end of the game
Klopp: Yeah.
it was for sure
one of them fouled on Daniel Sturridge
when we had to change
it was a similar situation
18 yard box, free kick
I would have had a chance to
to shoot the ball in somebody's arm
So, obviously we didn't have to change
and it was no contact if you see it again
there was no contact
as referee I could see it, I saw it in the game
fourth official said
but it was a decision that
was not the worst mistake in the world
I don't want to say this
which is why it feels so
so hard.
Everything ok, but
usually I can be really
clear in my information to my team
if they are responsible
I have no idea so
I'm on the one side proud of them
what they did, how they worked
how they fought
all that stuff
I know I said we can play better football
but have no idea if it would've been possible today
so, i don't know
it's really difficult in a situation like this
Sunderland is in the same situation
You always need a little bit of luck if you don't have luck
nobody should disturb it
and equal decisions, whatever,
free kick here free kick there
I thought Clyney first half
could've been a penalty
that's how it always is
but that's why it feels with penalty
sometimes the referee sees it
sometimes not that's how it is
but it's a really difficult job
TWICE!... whoa
Argh... that's so hard.
but I accept
I will accept it no problem
Reporter: Can we touch briefly on Sadio Mane when he
moved his arm out
you can't see the penalty
Klopp: Oh my god
you really want to start the
year with a question like this?
Yes, I'll go and ask Sadio why he put his arm out
Did you ever ... in shorts?
Oh really? Hand ball?
and he had a hand ball?
come on, that's a reflex
what can you say?
Reporter: that wasn't the question, do you think it was a
I agree with you the free kick was harsh but the
Klopp: It wasn't harsh
Reporter: the actual hand ball did look like
he moved his arm to block the shot that's how it looked
Klopp: Yeah, it's still a reflex, do you
think as a goal keeper
a ball is coming and he makes this (miming)
I said it was a penalty
no free kick, the law, it's actually the law
No free kick, no hand ball
free kick? yes. ok.
and hand ball. right it was hand ball
Reporter: It was a penalty?
Klopp: Oh my god!
Reporter: do you think it was a penalty?
PR: I think he's answered that.
Klopp: I said it already it was a HAND BALL!
before there was no free kick
so it's not important any more, I only
want to say why it is so hard for me to accept
Clear now? it was a penalty? or do you want to hear it again?
Reporter: the way you saw it was a penalty.
Klopp: (agrees)
Reporter: What in terms of the title
I mean you are unbeaten in five games
but it must, it is disspiriting
Klopp: Look the challenge in my life
is how we see... in this moment
it is really hard for me to accept
but I'm a professional I have to.
but obviously, not finally done
So, maybe I will look
like the best loser in the world
I have no problem with this, that's it.
Today, two penalties feels not good.
I can't, usually I like to play about football
So, it is difficult today because
I know, what I can expect.
that was not enough or that was not
for today that was a good save but
I have no idea if they could've done more.
so, so, that's my lack of experience
now we have a little bit more
we have a few numbers off the game
see how much we run and I say, ok
next year when we play 31st and 1st
then we will know what
is possible and what is not
Reporter: When was the last time
that side of yours conceded
two goals (penalties) and is that why you are frustrated?
Klopp: I've got no idea
I don't know why it happened
two penalties?
I have no idea if it has happened (before)
it's not the PENALTY... but probably
so, the first one I think
yea of course you can give it
challenge between the players
both players are there of course
second one was clear hand ball
so, that's two right decisions but
we all know
in a football game in a lot of situations
like this happen
maybe, he's not interested but
sometimes you have a good view and sometimes not
and that's why I said that's why it feels
both decisions are right
so that's how it is.
Reporter: Sunderland could've had their penalty when
Januzaj hit to get Can.
Klopp: I have no idea, I didn't see this
problem maybe. But I"m sure Clyney first half
could've been a penalty too, so
but that's how it is, that's what I said
and twice again
no other chances
So that's why it feels different, bad.
Reporter: How bad is Daniel Sturridge's injury?
Klopp: He had a knock.
on his right ankle I think.
but I don't think too... I don't think so
Reporter: and James Milner
Klopp: it felt like he got a knock in the calf
and we don't know exactly if
then we need to really be...
careful and that's why we made a change.
Reporter: You said on TV that
If some of your players you wouldn't want to play
(unintelligible)
obviously all your players played today.
Do you think next season with Chelsea getting
three games in ten days it has to be
what has to be done about the fixture list in terms of the games
Klopp: I'm sorry..."What do I think?"
Reporter: You said you have players
Klopp: I understood that part.
Reporter: next season
Klopp: Next season, eh?
Reporter: With Chelsea playing 3 and 10, 3 games in 10 days
Would you prefer 3 and 7, 3 and 9
what should be done to make sure that
Klopp: 3 in 6, we played 3 in 6, why?
Ah, Southampton is 3 in 6
Lucky bastards
(general laughter) Klopp: Sorry?
Chelsea are 3 in 10, so do you think next year
we want a uniform fixture where everybody is the same
Klopp: It was hand-ball, eh?
(general laughter)
Klopp: What can I... what can I to this, eh?
I'm really the wrong person
I didn't make, absolutely, obviously
I have no influence on the fixtures.
it is like it is
somebody decided like this.
there is nothingto say about this
always I'm in this business pretty much
pretty long and tight
fixtures are the fixtures
somebody gives you the day
and a time and you play
that's how it is
Reporter: (unintelligible) Klopp: Don't know)
don't know, not exactly. Hope he's not too serious
If 8, that could be a bit difficult.
Reporter: Do you think Henderson's absence made this...
Klopp: NO!
Reporter: If he comes
Klopp: Henderson is always difficult and
continue to, we miss Phil too.
Reporter: In the bigger picture Jurgen the title
race, if Chelsea win they go 8
point ahead after this weekend?
Klopp: I cannot change it anymore
after the game? quite difficult
So that's like the fixtures, we have to accept
the results of the other teams
Reporter: It's by no means over, there's a long way to go
Klopp: Wow the third time that...
we are answering question, YES
it is a long time to go, and
we have a long trip home so
Sorry for my mood, eh?
jj(general laughter)
I tried everything!
