Sheffield United - Liverpool 0: 2 Video goals and review of the match Head coach of the “red” Jurgen Klopp did not hide his positive emotions from the long-awaited success of his team, discussing the past match with reporters at the post-match interview.
" Today we managed to win thanks to unity. We had a long series of failures, as a result of which someone might think that something was wrong within the team.. It was a difficult time, but it's left behind.
The victory over Sheffield United is extremely important for us in the context of a difficult season. We had an urgent need to score points to catch up with the higher-ranking teams. We have coped with this task.
Our two goals scored came from situations that were not the most obvious for this.. We controlled the ball a lot during the first half, had several super-chances and, perhaps, we would have implemented similar ones last season, but now things are not in the best way in this regard..
During the first goal, there was a lot of controversy about its legitimacy. Trent left the ball in play, then made an assist to Curtis Jones. The Sheffield United players had already stopped at this time, therefore, after the goal was scored, they began to protest about the goal.
Opponents' coaching staff told me that they watched the replay on the iPad and the ball actually went out of bounds.. It came as a surprise to me, but the referees decided to act in their own way, "
In the next round, Liverpool will play a home match against London Chelsea.
