Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s manager who has gone viral before for his interview antics, made a really good point in a rant he delivered in response to a question about his thoughts on the coronavirus outbreak.
Specifically, he was asked if he was worried about it. And he responded exactly how you’d hope he would.
“What I don’t like in life,” he began, “is that a very serious thing … a football manager’s opinion is important, I don’t understand that … it’s not important what famous people say. We have to speak about things in the right manner, not people with no knowledge like me.”
That ending is the best: “I wear a baseball cap and have a bad shave.”
But yes, his point there is spot on. He doesn’t need to stoke the flames or say something that might not be factually correct about a subject that the experts on coronavirus can talk about with authority.
