The Danish journalist at the centre of Jurgen Klopp’s viral post-match interview following Liverpool’s FA Cup defeat to Man United has opened up about the incident.
The Reds lost the match to their Premier League rivals in dramatic fashion as Amad Diallo scored a last-minute winner in extra time to send Erik ten Hag’s men to Wembley.
There were so many incidents going on around the match but one that did the rounds was Klopp’s interview with Viaplay commentator Niels Christian Fredericksen.
The German coach was not happy with the questions he was being asked and left the interview before its conclusion in what looked like a very tense situation.
Fredericksen has now opened up about what happened around the interview and explained to the Daily Mail how Klopp got “more and more fired up.”

“Klopp got more and more intense,” said Fredericksen, who has covered Premier League football for Viaplay for 10 years.
“He got more and more fired up and then he started: ‘Dumb question, I can’t have this any more, I don’t want to stand here,’ and he just left in the middle of the second answer.
“I was just like ‘what the f**k’. It was quite an innocent question, not totally dumb.”
