First individual: “What makes you say that Jurgen Klopp is a jerk?”
Second individual (reportedly Coote): “Well, he really criticized me when I officiated their game against Burnley during lockdown.
“Then, he accused me of being dishonest and just went off on me – I’m not interested in talking to someone who’s so arrogant.
“So I try my best to avoid conversations with him. [James] Milner is fine, I get along with Milner.”
First individual: “James Milner, he has a good rapport with James Milner.”
Second individual (reportedly Coote): “You can spot me there wearing a mask.”
First individual: “Mask on, of course.”

Second individual (reportedly Coote): “Yep, but [exhales] wow. That German jerk, seriously.”
First individual: “To sum it up, Jurgen Klopp’s a jerk, Liverpool are all complete fools, we have a dislike for Scousers.”
