Jurgen Klopp has continued his tirade against the Premier League's incessant schedule and hit back at claims from Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville that he was seeking to gain an advantage for his Liverpool side.
Klopp has made his views clear on the urgent need for the Premier League to change the rules and allow five substitutes mid-season, but the club chose not to raise the matter when the top-tier clubs met on Thursday.
Former United right-back Neville responded to Klopp's astonishing BT Sport interview at Brighton by insisting that the German's only aim of his outbursts is to give his players as much rest as possible and the best playing times to suit his players.
But the Liverpool boss has now continued his war of words ahead of the visit of Wolves by declaring that he 'is not like' Neville and that the welfare of the league's players does concern him.
'Gary Neville said something but this is not about Liverpool,' Klopp said.
'He should not think that I am like him. I am not like him. I speak about all players, not only Liverpool players.'
'He said three subs helps them. It is only because we haven't voted yesterday it doesn't make the problem go away.
'It's about all the players and load management. Nothing else. Not for an advantage, for dealing with the Covid problem in the best way. We cannot ignore it.'
