James Milner thinks Joel Matip is hilarious
Speaking about the famous player’s jury in regards to paying the fine on the High Performance Podcast, Milner spoke about the Cameroonian.
“Joel Matip was one of the funniest guys I know and he was in there.
I don’t think he had said too much at that point, but he was on the jury and he was like ‘yeah, pay double!’ It really got everyone’s personality out.”
Milner stated.

This claim is not at all illegitimate as several videos from the official Liverpool YouTube channel has captured him goofing around with other players.
But these are the type of players that every dressing room should have. Both Milner and Matip are not the world-class stars everyone hopes for, but their participation and dedication are a thing of appreciation.
James Milner had always been a shadow contributor to the team week in and week out. His absence was immediately felt when he was not on the pitch.

On the other hand, Joel Matip has been a constant support in the backline alongside Virgil Van Dijk. Although he has been overshadowed by the majestic presence of the Dutch captain.
The Champions League title win in 2019 and the PL title wins after 30 years in 2020 would never have been possible if the English midfielder and the Cameroonian defender did not put in the necessary work.
An ardent football fan and a proud Red. I take immense pleasure in analyzing the intricacies of the game.
