The controversial statement by Jürgen Klopp that “the only really positive sample belonged to Alexander – Arnold and all other positives were falsecaused an inevitable domino of reactions in English football, with suspicion that the German coach had unwittingly “exposed” Liverpool’s illegal practices, leading several teams to urge the English Football League to investigate false cases .

Without the postponement and postponement of the first semi-final of the League Cup with Arsenal, which on the Day of Lights (6 went smoothly. Few would really care. Now he brought doubts. Because it is speculated that this was a regular decision by the Liverpoolers to report an extensive diversion in the locker room (13 members in total) to take the extra weight of a demanding game where important players would be absent anyway.

In any case, the hands of the EFL have been tied. He couldn’t have done otherwise, he accepted the postponement request and was forced to adjust the calendar, which Liverpool made possible.to reduce the further risk of infection“that had been located.

Of course, at a time when suspicion is ingrained in everyone’s mind and creating associations that everyone uses at their own discretion, reality is inevitably far from deception. For this reason, at a time when the decision of the organizing authority was rejected in similar cases, clear explanations of the procedure were requested. And to impose sanctions if irregularities are detected.

Fixing things up that Liverpool have been hit by the coronavirus is no lie. At the turn of the year Klopp had announced the existence of three new positive cases that thwarted his plans and influenced the planning for the following games. Without naming any of the sick players, it turned out that Allison and Firmino were among them. The third was Matip.

The two Brazilians, like the Cameroonian, had on December 28th. Played 0-1 against Leicester, but both missed a 2-2 away win against Chelsea on January 2nd. If the Reds wanted to make fun of the authorities in charge, they could increase the number and avoid a demanding game like the one at Stamford Bridge.

Liverpool also spoke in advance of suspicious and not fully confirmed cases. He had reservations. One concerned – as it was leaked – Klopp himself. And then his first assistant. The other employee of Peter Kravietz, who undertook to speak about it on August 1, did not provide the exact number or the names of the players, which left a mystery. In any case, the new tests were still pending before the cup game against Shrewsbury on Sunday. The absences were also numerous, on the one hand because of the African Championship and on the other hand because “We didn’t know if they could play“.

In its accompanying report, Athletic spoke of three rounds of testing. The first with the fast showed the first stigma of variance and the second with the most valid PCR confirmed this. The problem reportedly occurred at controls the night before the match with Arsenal. If, according to the same source, some of the samples appeared negative.

Possibly it was the term “false” results that caused the disturbance and raised the alarm in Liverpool. In fact, the training center was locked for 48 hours and the training courses were canceled. Experts insist that even with a quick result, the probability of errors is negligible. The percentage is estimated at 0.0003% as it was found that only 3 / 10,000 samples were turned upside down from the normal result.

The most likely version of the reversal of the situation relates to the decrease in viral load in the sample of the same players who were positive during the first two tests. Liverpool caught the cyclone’s attention and became a trend on Twitter. But given the circumstances, regardless of pressures to the contrary, he will not face any risk of punishment. It has already been leaked that she will not be asked for ex post clarifications. Since this is such a sensitive public health issue, everything else is bypassed.
