Insane refereeing, Jürgen Klopp slammed merciless VAR officials after poor performance

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp was one of the main news in the last game of the Reds in Turf Moor against Burnley, which the Merseyside team won 0-2 on the nineteenth day of the 2023/2024 Premier League season to temporarily step up to the leadership of the English league, just waiting for the result of Arsenal this week.

In this sense, despite the victory achieved against Burnley, Jürgen Klopp would have strongly complained on the refereeing suffered during the game, as the German manager hit the VAR officials due to two goals ruled out for Liverpool. The Anfield team’s boss was furious after Harvey Elliott’s second-half goal was overturned by VAR Simon Hooper with offside Mohamed Salah deemed to have been in goalkeeper James Trafford’s eyeline.

Klopp, who claimed Salah had been pushed into the offending position, fumed: “They will tell us again it’s an offside situation or whatever”. The manager labeled the refereeing as “insane” and went further in his critical speech. "It’s insane honestly. This man, if he never played football then it can happen”, he said.

Liverpool's boss asked for more professionality in the referees

Liverpool’s coach claimed for more professionality in the referees and better performances in the English league, considered one of the best in the world. “We all need referees but we need them with the right interpretation of the rules. How can you make this situation not a goal? That’s a clear goal”, fumed Klopp before saying that “It’s just not OK” which contributed to showing his annoyance with VAR one more time in this season.
