Not Knowing How to Defeat Ancelotti, Jurgen Klopp Instead Gives Praise

DBasia.news –  Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, expressed his praise for Carlo Ancelotti. Klopp said that the Napoli coach was smart and he himself was confused about how to defeat him.

Liverpool were only able to draw 1-1 with their guests Napoli in the continuing Champions League Group E match at Anfield, Thursday (11/28/2019) AM. The visitors won first Dries Mertens, before Dejan Lovren replied.

Napoli are the only team to beat Liverpool this season. In addition, Klopp has also lost three times against Ancelotti in the Champions League.

“Obviously I had a hard time against Napoli, I’m sorry about that. It’s more about how good they are. That’s how it is, “Klopp said at Soccerway.

“Napoli usually played different types of football. Tonight they survived and counterattacked. This is not easy. When a Napoli quality team chooses such an approach, it makes life more challenging. They might change if we take the lead first. “

“Do I expect Napoli to be like this? Maybe yes. Carlo is a smart person. Napoli might not be at their best, so you set your team up a bit defensively and try to deny your opponent’s strength and use your skills in counter-attack, that’s what they did in their goal, “Klopp added.

With this result, Liverpool are on top of the standings with 10 points. While Napoli followed below with nine points.
