Jurgen Klopp, the ex-LSE boss, claims he turned off his television after hearing supporters booing Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The 26-year-old defender is expected to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season.

Under German Klopp, Alexander-Arnold was a key player in Liverpool’s success, including a first league title in 30 years in 2019-20. He arrived at the club at the age of six.

However, when he emerged from the substitute bench against Arsenal earlier this month and announced his intention to stay with a new contract, some fans turned against him and booed him.

The former manager made the remarks at a fundraiser for the LFC Foundation on Friday, saying that it was “wrong” for supporters to boo him and that the England full-back needed to be defended vehemently.

I’m not interested in telling you what you think. Klopp said, “I can tell you what you think is wrong.”

“I tell you don’t forget, I don’t tell you that you shouldn’t be angry or depressed.” This group is persistent.

When he started playing, I heard the booing and I watched the game. I turned off the television. I’m so disappointed right now, I guess.

And he cited Klopp’s best achievements as manager as well as the Liverpool-born player’s dedication to the club.

He claimed that he “always gave everything” and that he “wears the Liverpool badge in his skin.”

Why did he not accept a new contract? ‘. Fans frequently say, “He goes without a transfer fee,” in this discussion.

They (the owners) must be furious, they say.

“This 18-year-old boy scored a free kick in Hoffenheim, which means that we don’t qualify for the Champions League if he doesn’t score.”

He did the most outrageous thing in the world, scoring the winner for 4-0, which means a win and a lost game.

Alexander-Arnold is instructed to improve defending by Tuchel.

Due to injuries sustained during the March camp, the 26-year-old has been selected for the Three Lions’ squad for upcoming games against Andorra and Senegal.

England manager Thomas Tuchel said he had told the player he needed to improve his “defensive discipline” if he wants to help his country win a major tournament despite being praised for his offensive abilities.

He sometimes relies heavily on his offensive contributions, and he doesn’t put as much emphasis on the defensive discipline and effort, Tuchel said.

“He must take the defensive aspect very seriously if he wants to have this impact in the English national team, given the significant impact he had for Liverpool over so many years.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot also stated on Friday that he had spoken with Alexander-Arnold about how good he was at defending and that he could do something to improve.

On June 7, England will face Andorra in a World Cup qualifier, before hosting Senegal in a friendly at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground on June 10.

Tuchel added, “Now is the time to get to know him.”
