Jurgen Klopp can finally take a deep breath after winning his first game mentoring Liverpool. It has been more than one week and almost five games he has been on English duty and striving for a win and Capital One Cup quarter-final tie against Bournemouth was the one that scored a triumph for Anfield side and its newly appointed manager. Though, Klopp has had grossly been successful on English duty after securing as many as three draws but a win can surely take your moral to a new high while media is just looking for an opportunity to find a loophole in you. Apart from Capital One, Reds position is not good in league table where they are struggling at ninth position with just three wins out of ten played games and for this reason bosses had to remove the former manager for the German who did few impressive things after joining the league giant and result is in front of all of us, team is behaving like a rejuvenated side full of confidence and after this win, they can surely come back in the premier league as well in upcoming weeks.
Defender Nathaniel Clyne gave the reason to pride when he netted only goal of the day in 17th minute of play. Talking about his feeling after securing first win and how it is different than earlier draws, 48-year-old German said after the game, “I feel much better than after a draw — but I don’t think the other games were so much worse than today, the result is the biggest difference. We did well tonight as we did not have too much time for training between the games — we had only one hour training with this new team and system.
“Minute-by-minute we got better and for the whole 90 minutes we played football. I am satisfied, the boys did really well.”
Adding about injured players especially Daniel Sturridge who is still struggling with a knee injury, Klopp said, “We have to talk about Daniel when he can train. I don’t know how much but four, five, six, seven, eight days is normal. It is not important how good you are, it is only important you have enough strength to play in this really intensive league.
“There is no pressure from me. I have to wait. If he is back then he has to train. Christian, I think, will be fit on Saturday. With our striker situation we can take absolutely no risk. Divock came on and worked really hard.”
