We were very good on attack on the play day and we would like to see more possession but it was a fun game for the fans. ”
"It's been a long season and we treated it like a final and that's the mentality of taking points when we came here. We think that's how we're improving and for us, the next game is coming soon. ”

Regarding Klopp, the assistant coach said: "I spoke to him very quickly at halftime, he was our leader, our motivator, our manager, which is good – he is the kind of guy who takes on a lot of responsibilities and gives the players a lot of freedom. ”

Asked if Klopp would be on the pitch in the carbeau cup semi-final against Arsenal on Thursday, the assistant coach said: "No, he can't because there are epidemic regulations. He has mild symptoms, but Uncle Scum is a very optimistic, positive leader, he is our leader and I only hope he can alleviate the symptoms and he can return to the team soon. ”
