Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says that Liverpool will be fine in the wake of the sale of Philippe
Coutinho to Barcelona. A week ago the Brazilian joined Barca in a deal worth around £142m.
The German coach insists the Reds will cope just fine without Coutinho, citing the many big players
he lost whilst coaching Borussia Dortmund.
“There was no other option,” he said when asked why the club let Coutinho go. “I knew it would
come up again in the transfer window and I knew it would be very difficult.
“Does it make sense? Did I think we can still use him? It was 100 percent clear, no chance. He wasn’t
ready to do it anymore. He did fantastic in the first-half of the season after what happened in the
summer.
“We don’t have to replace him as such, we will still have 11 players. I don’t want to sound
disrespectful, he was here for five years, we will miss him. But we want to play good football without
Phil.
“We had fantastic games with him and not so good games with him, and the same when he didn’t
play.”
