Klopp asks fans not to disturb Joe Gomez

Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – Jurgen Klopp has asked Liverpool fans to stop urging Joe Gomez to score every time he is in an unclear shooting position.

The English defender was the target of several shouts from the crowd urging him to shoot the ball throughout the last encounter The Reds with Southampton, Thursday (29/2/2024). Liverpool won 3-0 in that match and qualified for the quarter-finals where they will meet Manchester United.

“May I ask these people. Even though it sounds funny screaming, 'shoooooooot' this is disturbing,” said the 56-year-old while speaking on LFCTV (via @Sean_Rogers).

“Just leave the kid alone, one day he will shoot. Let him find his own moment,” the German coach added. The Merseyside team advanced to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup thanks to goals from Jayden Danns (2) and Lewis Koumas.

“Admit it. “We're all a little tired of hearing those screams every time Gomez gets the ball,” said Klopp, who will leave Liverpool at the end of this season.

Klopp compared Gomez to young player Jaden Danns who scored two goals in this match.

“Don't force a player to do something. Danns did score more goals than our 26 year old defender (Gomez). You have to let the story develop naturally. Gomez's time will come, if we let him,” stressed the former Borussia Dortmund coach.
