Klopp Praises Matip’s Performance Last Season

DBasia.news –  Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, praised Joel Matip’s last season performance which he considered to be perfect.

Virgil Van Dijk is indeed Klopp’s number one defender on the Liverpool back line. The German manager only has to choose one of three players to be his assistant.

The three players are Matip, Joe Gomez and Dejan Lovren. Initially Klopp had paired Gomez with Van Dijk.

However, the young defender was later seriously injured. Lovren had become Van Dijk’s partner. But the Croatian defender is also often injured.

Matip is finally often trusted by Klopp. The Cameroon defender’s performance turned out to be very solid, especially in the second half of last season’s competition.

“I don’t think many people talk about the impact Joel Matip has in the last third of the season,” he said.

“I don’t see a lot of center-backs in the world better in that period, 100 percent, pretty much without any mistakes,” Klopp continued.
