Jurgen Klopp has escalated his war of words with UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin after being told to stop complaining about the increasingly demanding workload on top-level footballers.
The Liverpool manager has been a constant critic of congested fixtures within both the club and international calendars alongside Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, but Ceferin recently advised the pair of Premier League gaffers to zip it. UEFA's head honcho claimed that both Klopp and Guardiola's salaries would go down if there were fewer matches, adding that "those who should complain are the workers with a thousand euros a month in the factories."
But after Liverpool suffered a raft of injuries just weeks into the new season, Klopp has now fired back at Ceferin's stern comments. "I know what work means," the Reds boss declared in an interview with Kicker, via Goal. "I don't want to offend anyone, just to point out again that this game doesn't work without the players and is only really nice when the best are on the field.
