A stunning volley from Ivan Perišić in 2011! Responding to the inflaming comments, Klopp told reporters: "I heard a few statements, and it's nothing dramatic. I already know Perisic is not happy; it would be strange if he was. That is a fact and perfectly normal. It's not the first time this has happened, and that's normal. But the timing of the statement is not okay." Klopp slammed Perisic, who scored 12 goals for BVB, for expressing his feelings in public, slamming that as childish. He said: "A professional footballer is unhappy when he is not playing. But if he shuts his mouth afterwards, his chances are good; it will get better. Public whining belongs to kindergarten, not to the world of adults. You shouldn't do that." Klopp, who has been Liverpool manager since 2015, continued: "If he doesn't play, a football professional should shut his mouth, work hard and make the coach select him – not complain about it to the reporters. If he then keeps his mouth shut, it is better for him at the end. Complaining in public is childish." After falling out with his manager, Perisic was shipped off to Wolfburg for €8 million in the winter of 2013. Since then, he has had a successful career with stints at clubs like Inter Milan and Bayern Munich. Spurs v Liverpool = incredible goals ?
