Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp laughed at suggestions that his players could play alongside those from Manchester United and Manchester City after Chelsea owner Todd Boehly floated the idea of a Premier League north versus south all-star game.
The Chelsea owner said he hopes “the Premier League takes a little bit of a lesson from American sports” by replicating the annual inter-league game played between the best players in the MLS and Mexican top-tier.
All-star games are also held in basketball, baseball and American football in the States, which takes the best talents from each conference and pits them against one another. Boehly signalled that it would create a great economical opportunity for the Premier League by replicating this internally in a North vs South face-off.
