Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp explained his exchange with Virgil van Dijk after their 2-2 draw with Brighton.
The pair exchanged words with Klopp later stating he felt his defender was playing out of position.
He said, "Don't know 100 per cent, we have conversations quite a lot of times. So, there is never one explanation, you cannot now make a massive story of that because I said before we didn't defend the half-spaces right.
"That's the problem. When the guy on the ball is not under pressure, you cannot have a high last line, so then the last line drops in that moment and all of a sudden we put pressure on it and then they have to push up again. So, these kind of things, we have clear rules, clear moments for when we do what. It's not an easy one.
"Now I know it [what the exchange was about], it was the one where March was pretty much the only player up-front for Brighton and Virgil was too far away. In that moment it was about that but yes, a normal coach-player talk."
