"Sometimes things happen to me, it’s not that I plan it or whatever," said Jurgen Klopp, quoted by the Echo, responding to criticism over Liverpool's over-the-top celebrations after beating Luton Town 4-1.
"I enjoyed that game so much. It was such a wonderful performance, in a great atmosphere, and that’s why it happened.
"You can make of my celebrations what you want.
"I heard the discussions — that Mikel [Arteta] over-celebrated the win against us. That definitely did not come from me. Everybody can do whatever."
Klopp continued: "I didn’t invent fist-pumps and I don’t have the copyright on it and I don’t want it.
"You do what you do for yourself and your people and what the outside world thinks about it. I couldn't give a shit to be honest!
"And you can write that exactly like that.
"This is for us and nobody else. Who likes it, likes it, and who doesn’t like it, doesn’t like it."
There ideally shouldn't be a scale to measure how teams celebrate success on the field. There's nothing wrong with being happy about winning games.
Arsenal too came under fire for celebrating after beating Liverpool recently, which is uncalled for.
For the amount of hard work teams put in, they should be allowed to celebrate how they wish.
