Klopp: Some people do not realize that we played a great game ... and our goal was the golden square
Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp stated that the main goal of his team during the current season is to be in the top four, and he refused to criticize the team's goalkeeper, Baker Allison, saying that he had saved the team many times, describing his team's performance as wonderful.
Klopp said in his remarks after losing to Manchester City 4-1: "Our goal at the moment is to be among the first four places. This is our main goal. Clearly, we will try to do our best. There are enough matches to guarantee this, but we must win matches First."
He continued: "When you lose a game with four goals, it is certainly not a perfect day, but this is definitely part of a football game and we must accept it."
He added: "I think we played a game of genius, I may not see this in your eyes, but this is what I think, and I really liked the match, and in the first half we were playing a very good match against City, which did not constitute a danger, but in the second half things did not go well." Good, maybe there is a bit of lack of adaptation to the match. "
He continued: "The performance was very good, and if we were playing in other matches at the same level today, especially what we were in the first half, the difference with Manchester City would not be so great."
As for Alison, he said: "The goalkeeper makes mistakes and this is possible. In front of the regular teams, it is a problem, but in front of City this is a fatal thing."
"Alison saved us on many occasions, but today he erred twice," he said.
