Jurgen Klopp’s heated exchange with Danish reporter Niels Christian Frederiksen after Liverpool‘s FA Cup loss to Manchester United has sparked discussion. The clip, which went viral on social media, showed Klopp abruptly ending the interview with Frederiksen from Viaplay, questioning, “What is wrong with you?”
Frederiksen revealed that the confrontation didn’t end with the cameras off, stating, “It continued down the hallway, where he yelled and screamed at me. I also followed him because I thought it was something strange.” Klopp’s frustration stemmed from questions about his team’s intensity during their 4-3 defeat at Old Trafford.

Frederiksen interpreted Klopp’s outburst as a manifestation of his frustration over the loss and dismissed any personal animosity, saying, “I have absolutely no problem with that. There will be absolutely no problems in the future.” He emphasized that Klopp’s comment about his shape wasn’t about his weight, clarifying, “He meant that I was unable and unfit to ask questions. There was nothing else.”
The incident has drawn attention, but Frederiksen maintains that there’s no lasting animosity and expects a professional relationship to continue.
