They are shitting their pants because of Zlatan. Cech (and the defenders) are probably thinking a hard ball is coming in at Ibrahimovic. Instead things go wrong fast.

The cross goes long and Cech isn't in the position to get there in time. Instead you have the defender, who isn't under pressure and doesn't have anyone behind him now, head the ball into the middle of the box. There you see Luiz who has 3-4 meters to Lavezzi. Lavezzi's finish is world class, handling the ball and putting it into the corner in the span of a second.

Defense's fault all the way, not Cech. The misjudged the runs of both Cavani and Lavezzi.

Cechs fault for not telling JT (the defender) he had no one around him. Defender has no clue what is behind him. Heading it backwards is best way to send that ball, 2nd best is to keeper, 3rd is over bar for corner. Instead he does the normal thing of heading it back outside of box thinking that there is 2 players behind him. Instead these 2 players are where he heads ball too. All because of keeper issue. I still think he should of claimed it anyway, came out and got it.

German media are so mad about Klopp (again). The host of public-service broadcasting started the interview with 5 questions regarding Lewandowski: Did you miss him? Had he scored today? Is that what we can expect all the time without Lewandowski?
In the end he went: So. 3-0. It's over, no Mr Klopp?

Klopp left the studio shortly after with the microphone falling from ~5cm height onto the table.
I mean he's getting mad even faster this season and some of his appearances aren't too confident but there is an article about Klopp misbehaving on every single german newspage it feels. Media are blowing everything up so much that it hurts.

Would've loved to see that guy interview Mourinho.

I think Mourinho would have eaten him alive. That guy from ZDF is so bad (and Bela Rethy as commentator is bad too), plus the commentator yesterday didn't even know Durm's first name (was it Rethy?). And the streams from ZDF are mostly shitty as well, and we gotta pay for that without a choice. Nice. Sorry for the small rant.

Yeah that interview is just so much frustration for him. I mean imagine your Dortmund coach. You have these A star players all injured for 90% of the season, and you restricted Real to a 3-0 win at home where they are very dangerous. That's good! Then to get asked silly questions after the game when you think well if i had my best back 4 out there tonight i think i could of restricted them to even less etcetc.
I'd be so pissed getting asked the same question every time, HOWEVER this is something that comes with the job as a football manager and you need to know how to deal with it.

It's part of the job and you should be able to keep your composure even if he's asking annoying questions. It's a way to communicate with your fans.

No one does that well. And it's clear why, the coach is full of emotions after a match.
Stupid media should leave him alone

There are managers who do it well lik De Boer. Others not keeping their emotions in check isn't really an excuse. And no the media shouldn't leave anyone alone they should be as critical as they can. It's one of the ways for fans to communicate with managers and players and in the end they're the ones paying the salaries of the players.

pretty sure no fan would ask such idiotic question
If its "good" for the fans why is every fan on the side of the manager? Because the media isn't asking anything the fans would ever ask

Yeah media always ask retard questions, but his point still stands. Without the Media asking questions we would have nothing to discuss because we only have what is put on the sites for the football teams. Which always half of the story lol.

If a journalist is able provoke with an intelligent question I'll give him all the respect he deserves. A private broadcaster that finances himself by showing adverts can ask stupid questions as much as he wants but our public broadcasting stations want to have a better standard and they don't deliver for years.

I totally agree that Klopp could've handled that a bit calmer but it's the third time in a month that the same people ask him subpar questions just to start a shitstorm against his behaviour as soon as he left.

I should clarify I don't just mean the fans of the clubs but all the football fans who are interested. Don't get me wrong I am not defending stupid questions but I do think journalists are very important whether the questions are good or not.

If it's for the third time they're asking him stupid questions its all the more reason to keep it cool. They're obviously trying to get a reaction out of him and it's working.

post match interviews are always incredible cringe worthy. also tabloid journalists and the papers should be closed no matter who they're talking about

If they asked about tactical decisions then the interviews would be fine. The "how do you feel" question after something like a questionable referee decision, or a particularly tough loss is just stupid and they're fishing for a controversial clip.

Depending on the player they can be decent. I only watch the Dutch ones though.

Most of the time interviews are very bland but I'm still always interested in what Ajax players and coach have to say after the game (mostly when they win though haha, maybe because I can't get enough of the game sometimes when it was good). In some cases however, they become hilarious.

Some terrible questions from the interviewer, but still :D

Basel 3-0 Valencia, I really hope Basel wins the Europa League, and it seems very possible.

Basel are amazing, it's really hard for a team from one of the smaller leagues to compete so consistently.
