This is the statement that Ivan Toney delivered to Jurgen Klopp following the conclusion of the match.
In the aftermath of Liverpool's 4-1 victory over Brentford, Jurgen Klopp revealed that he had a "nice conversation" with Ivan Toney, who plays for Brentford as a striker.
Toney, who has been in excellent form ever since he returned from an eight-month suspension for betting violations, took advantage of the opportunity to show off his scoring skills by scoring against the Reds on Saturday.
Despite the fact that he scored, it turned out to be a mere consolation as Liverpool went on to earn a comfortable victory. Darwin Nunez, Alexis Mac Allister, Mohamed Salah, and Cody Gakpo all found the back of the net for Liverpool.
Following the conclusion of the game, Klopp was observed having a conversation with Toney, and he later provided a brief statement to the press regarding the matter.
“It was more like smiling at him, he’s a handful and really tricky – I used a different word, but obviously it’s really tricky to play against him,” Klopp said. “It was more like smiling at him.”
“Am I correct in assuming that he is a supporter of Liverpool? He inquired, “Is he not embarrassed to say that?” Therefore, I am able to admit it as well. A
brief conversation ensued between us, during which he expressed his best wishes for my future given the events that have transpired here.
It was said by a significant number of players.
This was a pleasant exchange of ideas.
I had one with Janelt as well, and it was with Vitaly.
Toney, who is 27 years old, has decided to stay with Brentford until the end of the season, despite the fact that there has been an abundance of conjecture over his future, including strong links to clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham.
On the other hand, his remarkable performances since his return are certain to garner additional attention, and it may be difficult for manager Thomas Frank to keep him on board beyond the current season.
