"I'm pretty sure a lot of people in this country will enjoy the coronation. Some will maybe not really be interested and some will not like it.”
Jurgen Klopp provided a rather diplomatic answer when asked about Liverpool’s decision to play the national anthem before their home clash with Brentford to commemorate the coronation of King Charles III.
Having been ‘strongly advised’ to play ‘God Save The King’ by the Premier League, with all home sides doing as such this weekend, the club believed they had been put in an impossible situation. Klopp would insist the club’s stance is his stance, reminding onlookers that as a German he has no strong opinion on such matters.
