Ah, preseason football…
A time when the Premier League’s top clubs travel far and wide to make a shit load of money from foreign fanbases ready themselves for the coming season.
Take Liverpool, for example. They’re currently over in Hong Kong where they’re contesting the Premier League’s Asia Trophy.
Having comfortably beaten Crystal Palace earlier in the week, they’ll now play Leicester for a chance of meaningless silverware…
Liverpool’s supporters in Hong Kong have been eager to catch a glimpse of their heroes at any opportunity, which probably explains why the club have allowed them to attend training sessions.
As you might expect, there was plenty of cheering from those fans in attendance… too much judging by the reaction of Jürgen Klopp. Footage that’s doing the rounds on social media shows the Liverpool boss approaching the gathering of supporters in attendance for the session and asking them to be quiet.

Although we’re not entirely sure he utters the words ‘shut up’ as the footage above suggests, it’s clear he feels his players are being distracted from the session.
After the game with Leicester, Klopp’s men will return to Europe, facing a friendly in Germany against Hertha Berlin before taking part in the Audi Cup along with Atletico Madrid, Napoli and hosts Bayern Munich.
