[London (UK) = Egan Sports Chosun.COM reporter] Why did referee David Coote criticize coach Jurgen Klopp.

British media, including the BBC, reported on the 11th that the England Professional Match Trial Organization (PGMOL) has suspended the duties of referee Coot. A person believed to be Coote posted a video on social media criticizing director Jurgen Klopp by using derogatory expressions along with raw curses. Coote accused Liverpool of being `too bad.' In particular, he used primary expressions about Klopp, saying, `A completely X-like guy.' He also showed his sympathy when an acquaintance of Coote in the video said 'We hate Liverpool'.

The video was believed to have been taken after the match between Liverpool and Burnley in July 2020. Accordingly, PGMOL is known to be conducting an investigation, such as finding out the facts.



Coote presided over a total of eight Liverpool matches while refereeing. Three of them were Premier League matches. Starting with the match between Liverpool and Burnley (1-1 draw) in July 2020, he played the match between Liverpool and Aston Villa (2-0 victory at Liverpool) on the 9th. He also played 11 games for Liverpool as VAR referee.

What happened in the Liverpool and Burnley game (July 2020), which was held at the time this video was posted. Liverpool drew the match, ending a 24-game winning streak. After the game, Klopp argued with referee Coote.



Even during his time as a VAR referee, Coote was in a controversy related to Liverpool. It was a match between Everton and Liverpool at Goodison Park in 2020. Six minutes into the game, Jordan Pickford attempted a dangerous tackle on Virgil van Dijk. Referee Michael Oliver consulted Coote in the VAR room. But Coote didn't even offer the card and just handed it over.

In addition, Coote was embroiled in allegations that he made a dubious decision in a match involving Liverpool.
