Jurgen Klopp Post Match Interview | Liverpool vs Crystal place 0-1

Puff your cheeks at the end of that full-time

match

overall, what are your emotions after watching that performance this afternoon? Oh, standing here and talking about this game is really complicated, even though there are two different games. I would say the first and the second half if we wanted the first half to not be good enough, so we showed the reaction, the reaction was that we obviously lost the conviction from the last game, it was like the INF was trying to get rid of this, um , but that didn't work as much. Since we wanted to concede that goal, which is a horrible goal to concede to a player completely free in a six-yard area, I think that can't happen, but it happened that Robo receives the other ball, so it's like scoring a goal if you don't You concede that goal.

That U moment now Chris P didn't have as many, um, we controlled that less, better in the second half. I think we can easily say that if you don't score on these opportunities, what can you say? So the game was much better. um Coming trend um at that time the structure changed and we um yeah, we caused some real problems and we had some great scoring opportunities. I think nobody if we're here and we've been in the game 4-1, it's exactly how we saw all the same game and it's just a completely different result, but we didn't do it, so we have to go back to what you said in that moment in your last answer about maybe things carried over from the last game if an Atlanta hangover was coming.

This could be due to our appearance. Now I'm um, if you looked at my teams over the years, I think you could say, um, our pressing is usually good counterpressing, is there in the first half that we were open like me, I, how can that happen? Curtis was the only one really chasing them, actually going out every once in a while broke his rhythm, plus they could just jam, that was horrible to watch, so was this a hangover? Yeah that's how humans react sometimes, it's not great but it happens and um. um, like I said, the conviction wasn't there, we were too far apart from each other, the back line too deep, the midfield wasn't really there, the front line didn't really start the press, so that's all true where it comes from .

I can't answer that 100%, but it was just a few days ago that we played a bad game, so there might be something that might have something to do with it, but then we forced it through the result and then, um and and playing against the police maybe it's also a trend in things like this we were then actually it was a really good game we played there without scoring if we scored these goals everyone would say we don't have good technology great 4-1 win absolutely fine um, but Unfortunately, it's not that easy, especially if you don't score and that's what we have to do now and yeah, we saw your reaction when you conceded the goal, your reaction when Curtis had that chance and didn't go in.

I think that just summed up the whole day, didn't it? We had a better chance than C. Honestly, it was just one of those days, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, of course, if you don't, I really have a chance at Darin, that's how he's the one who hits the ball. completely, if m taps it lightly, there is no chance for the goalkeeper, similar to Doo. I'd say most of the chances, I don't know, maybe it was Mitchell or whatever, he got hit more or less at the line. like a scream that's just horrible but again we didn't do it we didn't score there and we had more moments where it wasn't that big but we're just talking about massive chances and that's how it is now so here we are we lost the game.

I feel really, really bad and, yeah, now I need a bit of time to process that because it's a really bad moment, it's the second home game in a row we've lost, we're not used to that, we have to say we've done it. "To see how we are, we have to work on it, I definitely will of course, but I can't sit here and say yes, that's it, it's a starting point for us for the rest of the season." I'm not feeling it right now, maybe tomorrow it will feel like that, well, we'll see, then I'll tell the guys, at least not half of it to you.
