Kyle Walker tweet: Klopp confused with the deleted post of the Man City star who made fun of the Liverpool draw with Leicester

Jurgen Klopp said that he could not understand a professional celebrating a rival by losing points after hastily publishing a social ticket to Kyle Walker mocking Liverpool's draw with Leicester City.

Walker and his Manchester City teammates were grateful to fellow international Harry Maguire for his goal in the Foxfield 1-1 draw at Anfield on Wednesday.

That came just a day after Newcastle United beat defending champion City 2-1, Maguire's goal preventing Liverpool from widening the gap by seven points at the top of the table.

During England's World Cup semi-finals race, a photo of Maguire speaking to his fiancée, Fern Hawkins, following a penalty shootout win over Colombia, went viral on the media social, with several suggestions of fun legends.

And Walker used the picture after the match at Anfield, writing next to it on Twitter: "So, basically, they thought that they were going to have 7 points in advance". However, he quickly resigned, but not before being widely shared.

The Reds boss, Klopp, who also denied suggestions that he would have asked that only one side of Anfield's field be cleared of snow against Leicester in an attempt to give his team an edge, believes such beards should be left to the supporters.

"I do not know what [people celebrating Liverpool drops points] that says about us, he says more about the other person, I would say, "said Klopp.

Asked specifically about Walker's message, he added, "I never celebrate the moment when another team loses points or loses a game, it is not allowed.

"I have never asked anyone to clear one side of the field and leave the other in the mud.

"That's how I understand the sport.You have to do your own things to try to show your best performance.

"I do not care, I do not understand.For the fans, it's a little different, for the people involved, I do not understand, but this is not to criticize from my point because I do not understand. "

Klopp added that he was not using psychologists to help his team manage the nerves of the title race as it tries to create an atmosphere of conviction since his appointment.

"We use our brain from time to time – it's a situation in the sport, you have to create an atmosphere, a mood and a confidence in the team all season," he added.

"In our case, in the last three and a half years, we've had a lot of tight games over the years.

"We have to qualify for the finals, we did not lose them because of nervousness, we had a lot of difficult situations and we did it."

"We do what we always do, we manage our situation in our own way.

"If you want to win something, there will be a group of people who hope you win and another group who hopes you lose.

"Better ignore both and hope that at the end of the season, celebrate with people who hope you win."
