Manager’s departure news is not to blame for his side losing their grasp on two, quite possibly three, trophies in quick time

In isolation, Jürgen Klopp did not have to apologise for losing for the first time in eight visits to Goodison Park. Bad nights happen. In the context of Liverpool’s sorry end to the season, however, an apology felt entirely appropriate.

“I really feel for the people, I am really sorry for that,” said the Liverpool manager after Wednesday’s derby defeat by Everton. “We never lost here before and that feels really different. I really apologise for that.” Klopp’s voice and choice of words captured Liverpool’s mood as the prospects of giving their manager a fitting send-off evaporated. Deflation. Yes, a new-look team was not expected to mount a title challenge this season. That is not a default excuse for recent underperformance. Yes, a quadruple is a fanciful ambition.

Капитан "Ливерпуля" Виргил Ван Дейк первым из игроков своей команды высказался насчет главного тренера "Фейеноорда" Арне Слота как преемника для Юргена Клоппа.

На этой неделе стало известно, что "Ливерпуль" уже ведет переговоры с "Фейеноордом" о компенсации за Слота, а сам Арне открыт к переходу в мерсисайдский клуб, который готовится к прощанию с Клоппом.

По мнению Ван Дейка, Слот входит в когорту лучших тренеров их родной Голландии, а философия Арне насчет искрометного атакующего футбола соответствует "Ливерпулю".

"Конечно, я затрудняюсь ответить, но я думаю, Арне Слот является, наверное, одним из лучших голландских тренеров в данный момент".

"Я думаю о стиле игры и его философии и чувствую, что он может быть тренером "Ливерпуля".

"Я лишь думаю, учитывая написанное и сказанное, это еще далеко не решенный вопрос. Посмотрим", — цитирует Ван Дейка BBC.
