In England, in the event of a draw in the FA Cup, the teams must replay the match. A rule that is debating and Klopp gave his feeling.
On Saturday January 7, 2023, Liverpool received Wolverhampton at Anfield for the third round of the FA Cup, the FA Cup.
The two teams left on a 2-2 draw which means that there will be a “replay”, that is to say a match to be replayed but, this time, on the ground of Wolverhampton.
Klopp not really a fan of “replays”
During the post-match press conference, Jürgen Klopp, the Liverpool coach, did not hide his dismay at this rule.
“In such a case, we might possibly play extra time or a penalty shoot-out and the result of the match would have been known by tonight. We didn’t deserve more than a draw tonight and whatever the consequences, we will now play an extra game. That’s how it is, I have no problem with this rule. In Germany, someone told me that they were going to delete the “replays” or that someone was going to submit the idea to delete them. But I don’t know if I understood what was said. There was a discussion but it does not come from me. I was asked a question and I don’t think we should continue to play replays, but I know they are still in the rules.explained the Reds coach whose schedule with the Premier League and the Champions League will be busy in 2023.
See you on January 17, 2023 for the replay
“Now we have to go to Wolverhampton. At the moment Wolves are happier than us with this rule but we too are happy to have another chance to qualify.”finally confided Klopp.
A qualification at the end of this replay would undoubtedly give him a more positive opinion on this rule. The match between Wolverhampton and Liverpool will be played once more on Tuesday January 17 at 8:45 p.m. In the event of another draw, this time there will be an extension then, if the two teams cannot decide, a penalty shootout.
