The reporter who was criticised by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has opened up on the events which led to the Reds boss storming out of an interview.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A furious Klopp\u00a0walked out of an interview with Viaplay TV\u00a0after he was left unimpressed by comments about Liverpool\u2019s energy levels in Sunday\u2019s 4-3 defeat to Manchester United.<\/p>\n

The reporter, Niels Christian Frederiksen, later told\u00a0Tipsbladet<\/em>\u00a0that Klopp\u2019s frustrations did not end after the cameras were turned off.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was very surprised by it, and those standing around were scared, and they were almost pressed up against the wall like: \u2018wow, what the hell just happened here?’\u201d Frederiksen revealed. \u201cIt continued after what was seen on TV. He continued down the hallway, where he yelled and screamed at me. I also followed him because I thought it was something strange.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was very surprised, while some looked very shocked, and they asked: \u2018Are you OK?\u2019 and of course I\u2019m okay. I have interviewed Jurgen many times. I don\u2019t know him personally, but I\u2019ve been to Mainz several times when Leon Andreasen and Mohamed Zidan were there, and I have also interviewed him in Dortmund and many times during his time in\u00a0Liverpool.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we don\u2019t have a bad relationship at all. I know that when you\u2019re one of the world\u2019s best coaches, and you have been for years, it doesn\u2019t come if you\u2019re not the world\u2019s worst loser. The premise of being a good coach is that you don\u2019t like to lose and that you are a winner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Klopp has faced criticism for his comments that Frederiksen was \u201cnot in a great shape\u201d, with many suggesting he was insulting the reporter\u2019s appearance, but Frederiksen believes a language slip-up saw the true meaning of Klopp\u2019s statement lost.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, no, no, that was not at all what he meant,\u201d the reporter said. \u201cFirst of all, I\u2019m not overweight, and if I were, he would never ever say that. That\u2019s not how Klopp is. It wasn\u2019t meant like that at all. He\u2019s not at all mean. He meant that I was unable and unfit to ask questions. There was nothing else.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it [the interview] was respectful. The important thing when you interview is to listen to what they say and not stare at your papers. He says they lack intensity in extra time, so it was natural to ask why the intensity wasn\u2019t there. They\u2019ve had many injuries, and they\u2019ve complained about the schedule, and I can understand him in that, but he could have just said that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frederiksen continued: \u201cI interpret it mostly as an expression of his terrible frustration that they lost to Manchester United in the manner it happened, where they were ahead twice and should have sealed the deal. His dream scenario was to play an FA Cup final at Wembley in his last match in England, and that\u2019s been taken from him now.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I can understand he\u2019s super frustrated. Then he got a question he didn\u2019t think was appropriate. It\u2019s been a theme for them that they\u2019ve had many injuries and many matches, which he has complained about. Then he got a question about why they didn\u2019t have intensity in the game, and then he snapped.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s fair enough. I have absolutely no problem with that. There will be absolutely no problems in the future. I can\u2019t imagine that at all. When I interview him again, we\u2019ll still be good friends \u2013 professionally speaking. I don\u2019t think he holds a grudge, and I certainly don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
