We don't have divers, Klopp

CAIRO – 31 December 2018: Liverpool Egyptian winger, Mohamed Salah, won two penalties in the last two weeks at the Premier League against Newcastle United and Arsenal, respectively,which caused a lot of controversy.

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, defended his player, saying “Do we need blood for a proper penalty? I think no. In that moment, if you don't touch Mo and he makes the next step and shoots and we know he's pretty good at that.”

Salah converted both penalties to lead his team to a 4-0 victory over Newcastle and a 5-1 victory over Arsenal.

Klopp added, "We don't have divers and that was not a dive. The other one is not a dive. The ref decides it."

Liverpool are leading the Premier League table with 54 points, seven points ahead of the second placed, Manchester City and they will face each other at Etihad Stadium in Manchester on Thursday night.

“We are hungry so we have to go there and try everything to get a result. That’s what we will try,”Klopp added.

Liverpool fans put all their hopes on Klopp and his players’ shoulders to clinch the title and put an end to a long time of absence as they last achieved the title in 1990.
