Kevin Grosskreutz has welcomed the decision but has slammed former Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp’s move to Red Bull, describing it as a “shithole” for football. Klopp left Liverpool

in the summer and took up the role of head of football at Red Bull’s sister club RB Leipzig in midweek. German football

has a rule that gives fans a say in how clubs are run and Red Bull have been accused of circumventing the rule to take over

Leipzig. Leipzig have been dubbed “the most hated team in Germany” by the media and have faced repeated protests from fellow Bundesliga clubs, and Klopp’s involvement has also been met with criticism, particularly from fans of his former club. Now, Grosskreutz, a

versatile player who played for Klopp between 2009 and 2015, winning two Bundesliga titles together, has spoken:

“I found out via a text message. “I thought I was dreaming. And I hoped it was fake news,” Grosskreuz began.

“Two hours later the official announcement came. I was quite shocked and upset. I still can’t understand what happened. “

Jurgen is a friend, so I had to accept the decision. I owe him a lot of things. ufabet http://ufabet999.app I will always be grateful to him for that.

“But as a football fan I think it’s rubbish… If I met him in person I would tell Jurgen it’s rubbish that he did that!”
