After committing another error in the match Liverpool against Borussia Dortmund where Liverpool thrived 3-1 in the International Champions Cup, Loris Karius has taken the issue to social media to hit back at his critics. Continuing to come under fire the German stopper has support with Iker Casillas leaping to his defense about this case.
Fumbling Christian Pulisic’s shot as Jacob Bruun Larsen scored the third goal for Dortmund in stoppage time, Liverpool goalkeeper Karius didn’t have luck even after an earlier unpunished lapse when he sliced a clearance straight to Maximillian Philipp on Sunday.
After those two glaring errors against Real Madrid in Liverpool’s 3-1 Champions League final defeat, Karius has been the target of ridicule from many fans of the club.
He has been backed by the Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp so he can learn from his mistakes, while the Reds have since then signed Alisson in a world-record deal for a keeper. Meanwhile, Karius took to his Instagram to respond to his detractors amid the ongoing scrutiny by saying: “To those who take joy in seeing other people fail or suffer, I feel for you. Whatever it is that is happening in your life to hold this much anger and hate, I pray that it passes and good things come to you.”
The Captain of Spain and former Madrid goalkeeper, Iker Casillas also came to the defense on his fellow stopper, showing that Klopp isn’t the only one who’s tired of Karius critics.
“This attack on Loris Karius, will it ever end? I’m talking about him like so many other goalkeepers. There are many more serious problems in the world… f***! Leave the kid alone. He is also a person. As we all are!” – wrote Casillas on his Twitter account.
