DBasia.news – Liverpool coach, Jurgen Klopp commented on his team being defeated by Arsenal in the top 16 of the Premier League Cup. Even though he lost, he thought that the Reds’ game was good, but still lacked goals.
Despite playing several reserved players, Liverpool still controlled the match. The Reds made 16 chances throughout the match.
Unfortunately, Bernd Leno’s brilliant performance between Arsenal’s crossbar was a hindrance. Liverpool finally had to admit Arsenal’s superiority in penalty kicks.
“If there is a winner in 90 minutes, it should be Liverpool. However, we are not in a dream world. You have to score goals,” Klopp said as reported by Sky Sports.
Previously, Liverpool defeated Arsenal 3-1 in the match in the premier League. However, according to Klopp, these results cannot be used as a reference.
“I like a lot of parts of the game. I saw a lot of fast play. However, penalty kicks are difficult, everyone knows.”
“The only drawback is goals. I like how the players carry out orders. There are lots of good individuals. Meanwhile, not many opportunities are created because the two teams work to close each other,” explained the manager.
Next, Liverpool will face Aston Villa on Sunday (5/10). Then, after the international break, Mohamed Salah and his colleagues will have a derby against Everton.
