Reds boss promise to paint the city red when the time is right.
Jurgen Klopp has urged Liverpool supporters to celebrate the club’s Premier League title win responsibly, as he condemned the mass gatherings seen within the metropolis last Friday.
In an open letter to the Liverpool ECHO newspaper. The Reds boss insisted it was very important that fans “stay at home as much as possible”, promising that they’ll have the ability to “paint the city red” when the time is right and the threat of coronavirus subsided.
Klopp stated he was dismayed by the sight of thousands of Liverpudlians gathering after their first league championship since 1990 confirmed by Manchester City’s defeat at Chelsea on Thursday night.
He wrote: “I love your passion, your songs, your refusal to accept defeat, your commitment, your understanding of the game and your faith in what we are doing.
“Even though you cannot be at our games at the moment I love that you still made sure that you were with us by making the Kop look like the Kop even if it cannot sound like it. I cannot begin to tell you how much the players and myself appreciated that and I have no doubt that it was one of the reasons why our performance against Crystal Palace was so good.
“What I did not love – and I have to say this – was the scenes that took place at the Pier Head on Friday. I am a human being and your passion is also my passion but right now the most important thing is that we do not have these kind of public gatherings.
“We owe it to the most vulnerable in our community, to the health workers who have given so much and whom we have applauded and to the police and local authorities who help us as a club not to do this.
“Please – celebrate – but celebrate in a safe way and in private settings, whereby we do not risk spreading this awful disease further in our community.”
