sport news What Jurgen Klopp did when the cameras turned off: TV reporter in tunnel spat ... trends now
The Norwegian journalist at the centre of Jurgen Klopp's post-match interview strop has revealed the Liverpool manager 'scared' bystanders by 'shouting and screaming' once the cameras stopped.
Klopp stormed out of his interview on ViaPlay after Liverpool bowed out of the FA Cup following a dramatic 4-3 defeat to Manchester United.
The Liverpool boss fronted up for his post-match media responsibilities but took exception to a question from Niels Christian Fredericksen about whether they had played too many matches and it had caught up to his players.
'You are obviously not in a great shape and I have no nerves for you,' Klopp fumed as he walked past the reporter and left the interview.
Now, Fredericksen has detailed what exactly happened after the interview was cut short.

Klopp hit out at the Norwegian reporter for asking a 'dumb' and 'really disappointing' question - and the reporter, Niels Christian Fredericksen, has now detailed what happened off camera
'I was very surprised by it,' he told Danish outlet Tipsbladet, 'and the people standing around were scared, and they were almost pressed up against the wall like: "wow, what the hell just happened here?"
'It continued after what you saw on the TV. He continued down the corridor, shouting and screaming at me. I went after him too, because I thought it was a strange thing.'
He added: 'I was very surprised, while some people looked very shocked, and they asked: "Are you OK?"
