Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp took a cruel but jovial swipe at Joel Matip's second touch during a Sky Sports promotional video filmed before his ACL injury.
The 32-year-old centre back has been a cornerstone of success for the Reds since joining in 2016, but an ACL injury picked up earlier this month means he will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season.
And despite impressing his Liverpool manager with his first touch, Klopp was quick to take a shot at Matip's follow-up.
The pair were taking part in a Sky Sports YouTube video to try and identify a professional footballer from a group of five, using a series of drills to try and eliminate the fakers.
On the 'first touch' challenge, Klopp said: 'Joel in this moment has a really good first touch.'
But the German gaffer followed it up with the body blow. 'The second touch is then the problem,' he said, laughing.
The video was filmed on November 22, while Matip's injury was picked up in the 4-3 win over Fulham on December 3.
