Chamberlain dikatakan 'lega' apabila dapat menyertai Liverpool menurut pengurus pasukan itu Jurgen Klopp.
Berikut adalah sebahagian daripada media yang melaporkan berita mengenai 'kelegaan' Chamberlain menyertai Liverpool
Jürgen Klopp says Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ‘relieved’ to join Liverpool - The Guardian
OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN RELIEVED TO JOIN LIVERPOOL FROM ARSENAL, SAYS KLOPP - Goal
Oxlade-Chamberlain relieved to join Liverpool from Arsenal, says Klopp - FourFourTwo
Pemain kebangsaan England itu menyertai Liverpool pada saat akhir jendela perpindahan baru-baru ini dengan nilai perpindahan sekitar £35juta.
Dan menurut laporan tersebut, Klopp telah menjelaskan mengapa Chamberlain merasa lega apabila menyertai Liverpool dan meninggalkan Arsenal.
A new start is, very often, kind of a relief.
You are in a situation in your old club – I don't say it now for Alex especially but in general it's like this – you are in a specific position and you accept it at some point and then it's difficult to make the next step.
I thought it made complete sense for Alex to change club, especially to come here. So far, I can see that he has settled in perfectly. He knew at least all of the England players and a few others and he's a really nice lad so it is easy for him to settle in the team.
He knows he played all the games for Arsenal from the beginning and now he's coming here and sitting on the bench - it looks like it was not the best decision. But it's about the long-term and we already can use him, that's good, but we want to prepare him also, that's all. It's all good from this side at the moment.
Klopp juga menegaskan dimana terlalu berat tekanan yang dipikul Chamberlain semenjak beliau menyertai Arsenal pada tahun 2011, namun kini pemain tersebut yakin bahawa beliau mampu menjadi watak penting dalam skuad Liverpool.
Bukan sahaja Chamberlain dan Klopp lega mengenai penyertaan Chamberlain ke Liverpool, malahan boleh dikatakan sebahagian peminat dan penyokong Arsenal juga lega mengenai perpindahan pemain tersebut.
Walaupun pada awalnya merasakan ianya satu kerugian buat pasukan (Arsenal) namun kini peminat dan penyokong Arsenal boleh menerima ketiadaan Chamberlain dan sedikit pun tidak merasakan sesal dan rugi.
