Back in January 2020, the Liverpool said only Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo could be allowed not to track back.

  • Leo Messi received a lot of criticism after not even attempting to press a Dynamo player in the dying minutes of the Champions League clash on Wednesday night.
  • However, even Jurgen Klopp would probably side with the Barcelona captain, judging by his own words.
  • While highlighting the importance of his counter-press philosophy, the Liverpool boss made an exception, telling BeIN Sports: “As long as you are not Cristiano or Messi, you have to defend. That’s how it is. Are you Cristiano? Messi? No? Then defend!”
