Klopp: "If You Handle Players Like Horses, You Get Horses
The new manager of Liverpool has criticized the Football Association after a young talent from his team had returned injured from England duty.
Jordan Rossiter,18, returned from England’s U19 side with a hamstring injury after playing three full matches in five days.
Klopp said: “I never heard of an 18-year-old playing three games in five days. That is the problem why he is injured and I don’t think he will be ready until the next international break. I don’t know who I have to talk about this but I will find a way because it is not okay. On my first day I didn’t want to have a call with someone with the FA but for sure this is not okay”.
He stressed: “These young players are our future. If we handle them like horses we get horses”.
Speaking about the fact that his Liverpool side ran a combined 116 kilometres against Tottenham, he insisted this tactic does not involve over-working his players.

“The biggest misunderstanding in my life is people ask me if it is possible to play this kind of football. We don’t have to run 115km only to be successful. We need healthy players but we don’t kill the players. You don’t have to run like crazy if you have the ball. It is only the start.We must know turn the screws in the right moment; better thinking, better timing. But if play a much better team and you are not ready to run more than them then you are crazy,” he explained.
