Klopp’s End Of Season Departure Has Affected Players Psychology –Rooney

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney believes Jurgen Klopp’s departure at the end of the season has affected the psychology of the Liverpool players.

Recall that the Reds’ season has fallen away in the last three weeks.

After Liverpool’s defeat at Everton last night, Rooney told Sky Sports that the players are not feeling motivated with Klopp leaving the club at the end of the season.

“The players took the cue and saw this as a way to probably leave. Maybe they are already talking to other clubs, we know that these things happen.

“Maybe he (Klopp) had been discovered. In my opinion he should have only talked about it with the club, but if someone had discovered it, it would have come out and therefore he had to announce it.

“I’m not saying that Klopp is to blame. I’m just reflecting on the timing of the announcement. I think this had a strong impact on some players in the squad.”
