Liverpool fans are unhappy with boss Jurgen Klopp after commenting that he will not stop Divock Origi if he wants to leave the club.

Origi has not had much action this season with the Reds. Still, the player is one of the most loved by the fans, and every time he has had the opportunity to play, he shows a high level, as he did in the derby against Everton, where he scored the second goal for the victory of his club.

In fact, it was in the press conference after the game against Everton that Klopp commented on the possible departure of Origi.

“We will never miss a player like him because if he leaves, he will explode wherever he goes,” the German told Sky Sports.

“He is a world-class striker, he is a legend and will stay a legend forever. He doesn’t always make the squad which is ridiculous, but he is there when we need him every time. He was involved in both games; everything that we did in the second half, without Divock, wouldn’t have happened.

“The group lives because of the boys that don’t always play, they are the strongest players ever; [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain, [Harvey] Elliott, [Takumi] Minamino, even Rhys Williams. They are in great shape, but the way they behave is why we do these kind of things.”

Klopp added “He is a legend on and off the pitch. He is a fantastic footballer for me, and I know it sounds ridiculous as I don’t line him up often. He is a world-class striker, he is our best finisher.” He always was and everybody would say the same when you see him do these kind of things in training.

“Then, you see the quality of the squad and other players and it’s really hard I imagine [for him]. Other players were not in the squad but in really good shape, I have really hard decisions to make because the boys all want to contribute and are responsible for the situation we are in. Everybody loves Div and rightly so. He was again very decisive. I’m very, very happy for him.”
