Jurgen Klopp left fuming after what Amazon Prime presenter says to him following Liverpool vs Sheffield United

Jurgen Klopp was left fuming on Amazon Prime after clashing with presenter Marcus Buckland after Liverpool’s 2-0 win against Sheffield United.

The Reds manager was asked about Liverpool’s upcoming Premier League game against Crystal Palace, taking place on Saturday at 12:30pm.

As we know, Klopp is not so keen on the early Saturday kick-off, and the Liverpool boss was not pleased when Buckland brought up the time of the match, passing it off as a joke.

Buckland said: “You mention Jurgen you have had to shuffle your pack. Had some injury problems. All these games, you are still going strong in Europe, in the League Cup, FA Cup, you go to Crystal Palace – your favourite kick off time at the weekend.”

As you can expect, Klopp was not pleased with this tone, with the Red bossing hitting back: “That’s great, that’s really great to make a joke about that.”

Buckland replied: “You still have the passion and enjoyment, it’s constant isn’t it, day in, day out?”

Klopp answered back: It is constant. I go home, I don’t know when we arrive, 1 or 2am whatever. We play again. We have two sessions – tomorrow and Friday.

“So it’s fine to recover. So Crystal Palace played tonight so it’s absolutely fine. But I realise you don’t understand it is as well and you work in football so why should I try to explain again? You can make a joke, you’re completely ignorant. Football is entertainment. I understand.”

As you can expect, Buckland was sweating at this point, with the presenter saying: “It’s just one of those issues that come up. I’m not trying to be disrespectful.”

Klopp immediately replied: “You were already. All good, you can say what you what, just I cannot say what I want.”

With Buckland trying to save the situation, the presenter said: “Well listen it has been a success tonight, moved within two points of the leaders and we wish you every success at the weekend as well.”

Finally, Klopp got away with the last word, with the Liverpool manager saying: “You will tell that to Crystal Palace as well.”

Kick-off times have been a touchy subject when it comes to Klopp, and Buckland knew better than to joke with the Liverpool manager on the topic.

Whilst the opening comment was made in a tongue-in-cheek manner, the presenter should have respected Klopp and his opinions on the matter.

And as a result, the Amazon Prime presenter was burnt live on air, with Klopp coming away with the final laugh and word on the matter.
