All-Star Game: Liverpool manager Klopp mocks Chelsea owner Todd Boehly

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has reacted mockingly to an interesting suggestion by Chelsea owner Todd Boehly.

Boehly proposed that the Premier League should introduce an All-Star Game between the North and South.

According to the American investor and co-controlling owner at Stamford Bridge, the Premier League needs to take a leaf from the MLS.

“Ultimately I hope the Premier League takes a little bit of a lesson from American sports,” Boehly said. “And really starts to figure out, why don’t we do a tournament with the bottom four sports teams, why isn’t there an All-Star game?"

"People are talking about more money for the pyramid, in the MLB All-Star game this year we made 200m dollars from a Monday and a Tuesday. So we’re thinking we could do a North versus South All-Star game for the Premier League, for whatever the pyramid needed quite easily.”

The German coach was left shocked by the suggestion to introduce the US-style All-Star game.

Speaking on the issue after Liverpool’s hard-fought win over Ajax in the UCL on Tuesday, the 55-year-old said;

“He doesn’t wait long. When he finds a date for that he can call me,” he added. “In American sports, these players have four-month breaks. Does he want to bring the Harlem Globetrotters as well?" Boehly said per the Guardian.

“Maybe he can explain that. I’m not sure people want to see that - United players, Liverpool players, City players, Everton players all together. It is not the national team. Did he really say it?”
