Moreno got left behind

- by DAVE LYONS

ALBERTO MORENO has revealed how Jurgen Klopp left him out in the cold at Liverpool.

Moreno, 25, spent most of last season out of the side with James Milner getting the nod at left-back instead.

The full-back said: “It has been strange.

“Klopp arrived and I played every game. Then at the start of the next season I disappeare­d.

“In the summer I saw that the season was going to be f ***** up and that’s how it was. I cannot find a reason for what happened.

“When I saw James Milner, a right-footed midfielder, at left-back, I knew something was happening.

“There came a point where no matter what I did, they were not going to play me.

“He told me to continue working. I did, but the opportunit­y didn’t come.

“I went to talk to him five or six times but nothing changed.”

Liverpool signed Andrew Robertson from Hull in the summer but Moreno did not see the arrival of the Scotland internatio­nal as a cue to leave Anfield.

“My idea was to stay, work hard and earn my place,” said Moreno ahead of Spain’s friendly with Costa Rica tonight.

“Klopp told me he was going to sign a left-back and that he couldn’t promise me game time.

“I thought this was wrong, I spoke to my agent but he told me just to keep working.”
