Liverpool Manager Jurgen Klopp laughed at the idea when Chelsea’s American owner Todd Boehly argued for a north versus south “All-Star” game for the Premier League.
Boehly’s consortium successfully bought Chelsea earlier this summer. While According to ESPN, he discussed his proposal for an “All-Star” game on Tuesday at the SALT Conference in New York.
He hopes Premier League learns a few things from American sports. He wants EPL to actually begin to understand why there isn’t an all-star game or a tournament with the worst four teams.
People are speculating about adding to the pyramid’s wealth. This year, the MLB held its All-Star Game in Los Angeles. And they made $200 million from a Monday and a Tuesday.
To get the money the pyramid needs, it would be relatively simple to organize a north versus south all-star game for the Premier League.
Although his plan has merit—if, of course, it was built with the entire English football pyramid in mind. And here, the logistics are much more difficult.
Klopp is against the idea of an All-star EPL game
Although there are several other issues. For Klopp, the main one is just how the game would fit into the schedule.
Klopp laughed at the idea and said Boehly doesn’t think twice, huh? He waits a short while.
Klopp believes English football doesn’t have time for that
Boehly overlooks the fact that American professional athletes enjoy the four-month off-season. And therefore, they are eager to get in some exercise during these downtimes.
Football is quite different. Will he bring Harlem Globetrotters so they can compete with them, Klopp said laughingly
Klopp was surprised by the inquiry. And he asks not to don’t hold his judgment on the responses too harshly. But perhaps, it will eventually be able to explain it and arrange a suitable day.
People may not want to see it. Imagine a team that had players from United, Liverpool, and Everton.
It’s just North vs. South; it’s not the national squad.
Engaging game!
Arsenal, Tottenham, all the Londoners together, wonderful.
Interesting!”
Jurgen, that’s putting it mildly.
