Jurgen Klopp says Loris Karius is ‘absolutely fine’

Jurgen Klopp has no doubts about Loris Karius’ mental health claiming he is ‘absolutely fine’ despite the constant abuse he has received on social media since the Champions League final defeat last season.

Speaking to Martin Quast from SPORT1, Klopp said he did his best to comfort Karius after the defeat in Kiev. 

“Loris is absolutely fine. But you have to imagine this evening as a human being,” said Klopp.

“I’m a big believer in the thesis, “If you do not have the right word to say, just shut up.” I had nothing proper to say that night except a few comforting words and I had no idea what to say.

“I was not mad at him, nor disappointed, I just saw his situation. Everybody would like to have the right words in such a situation, but I did not have them. Except for a few words, we left it in the evening. Of course we have talked, but not only about it.”

Klopp said he was not aware of any serious threats aimed at the German goalkeeper after the final.

“I did not hear that, but I do not think such threats are serious,” said Klopp.

“We live in Central Europe. Threats that are pronounced because of a lost football game can be explained quite well with the emotion of disappointment.

“What I find much worse is how people in the anonymity of the internet are wallowing and wallowing in their malice for other people who have failed.

“That’s 99.9 percent of people who would never get into such a situation because they can not. Because they sit in their room, instead of going out to a place where performance is needed.

“I long for the time when people had to write letters to the editor. Where to write a letter and stick a stamp on it, close the letter and throw it into the mailbox. Until all this has happened, one has long forgotten his anger.

“Today, anyone under a pseudonym may just publish his mental garbage. I find that despicable.”
