German coach Jürgen Klopp, manager of Liverpool FC, is facing a torrent of criticism and pressure due to the recent decline in Liverpool's results in the English Premier League.
Liverpool fans expressed their solidarity with their coach, Jürgen Klopp, by displaying a large banner at the gates of Anfield, the home ground of the Reds, with the words "Jurgen Klopp YNWA," which means "You'll Never Walk Alone" in Arabic. This phrase is the famous slogan of Liverpool and the well-known anthem of the team's supporters.
In statements made after the disappointing 1-3 defeat against Leicester City last Saturday, Klopp acknowledged that Liverpool has effectively fallen out of the race to defend their Premier League title. The team suffered a painful loss to Leicester City, marking their third consecutive defeat in the league, which is the first time this has happened since 2014. They remain at 40 points and occupy fourth place in the Premier League standings, trailing the leaders Manchester City by 13 points, who also have a game in hand.
Additionally, Jürgen Klopp, 53, received the sad news last Wednesday of his mother's passing at the age of 81. He was unable to travel to Germany to attend her funeral due to restrictions on entering Germany from Britain as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Liverpool FC took the time to express condolences and support for their coach, who led the team to the Premier League championship last season, the first time since 1990. It is worth mentioning that Jürgen Klopp announced his desire to hold a memorial service for his mother as soon as circumstances allow.
