Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has condemned Marcelo Bielsa for his unhinged spying tactics in the English game.
“What do you think is the reason for the curtains?” Klopp asked reporters. “It’s not there for all the sessions in the week because for most of the sessions it’s not a big problem if someone had looked.
“But the last two, matchday -2 and -1, we use the curtains because it’s not for anybody else. You understand a lot of things and train the set pieces then with the players in their formation. Everyone wants this information but normally nobody gets them, then you get the line-up when you come in the stadium.
“This has been clear for me, it’s the same for everybody and really you have no idea who is going to play. You can see a line-up and still not know the system, but you could see that if you were there for MD -2.
“I can understand he wants to have all the information, we all want it, but we have to accept we don’t get it. That’s my opinion actually, you don’t want someone around in these special sessions. Whatever you have prepared over the years has nothing to do with these last two sessions.
“It [Bielsa’s briefing] was impressive and there’s no doubt he is an outstanding coach and an outstanding role model with inventive styles, he’s pretty busy on top but we are all busy. When I came in I didn’t see 51 games of Derby, maybe I didn’t have time but that’s the truth.
“He’s very well prepared and I respect him a lot but it’s not like it should be. These two sessions and the last one before the game, only a couple of people should see them. I think we all agree on that.”
