Jurgen Klopp has expressed a desire for his Liverpool team to master the dark arts, as he has seen it used against his side constantly.
Although Liverpool play fair, Klopp believes that tactical fouls are important for teams to play smart and protect themselves. Klopp has hinted that he wants to see more tactical fouls from his side, as opposition teams do it all the time with little to no punishment. In an ideal world, Liverpool would win the ball and attack again, but if it’s not possible, tactical fouls are necessary. Klopp wants Liverpool to become more streetwise as a collective, like all the best teams do.
