Last night, Brentford ended Liverpool’s four-match winning streak in the Premier League when excellently defeating coach Jurgen Klopp’s teachers and students with a final score of 3-1. After the match, Klopp asserted that the referee had made unreasonable decisions, and he also accused Brentford of ‘circling the law’ in his collisions.
Speaking after the game, when asked about Klopp’s statements, coach Thomas Frank said (quoted by Metro):
This season, Brentford has become the quintessential Big Six.
“I guess we have very, very good referees. I think there are four on the pitch, and then we have a VAR room.”
“It’s never been harder to score. Today, two of our goals were disallowed. I don’t think any of them were flagged offside, so if in a game it’s not. With VAR, we could have recognized those goals.”
“But, of course I’m happy that Klopp praised us, and that’s in recognition of the work we’ve done with our set-pieces.”
