Klopp: I love What Curtis Jones did tonight, he needs to keep it up

Live Bar September 29 News In a previously concluded Champions League group game, Liverpool beat Porto 5-1 away to win two consecutive wins. In a post-match press conference, Reds boss Klopp said Porto had lost two centre-backs before the match and the team took advantage of that.

About the performance of the team

Klopp: "We had a tricky start, but from a certain moment we played very good football and at half-time we led 2-0. They lost a centre-back against Atletico and another centre-back when they warmed up today and we know very well that something like this is not going to help them, especially when they play against us and it gets worse. So we took advantage of that, but we also really played good football, we had better chances and everything went well tonight. ”

About Curtis Jones' performance

Klopp: "Curtis Jones played a great game and before this game he had a little problem with his stomach. People told me I needed to keep an eye on his situation at all times, but after the game I told him to keep going no matter what the situation was because it was really a good game. He played really well, almost everywhere, he was involved in everything, he set the tone for the first goal and the opposing goalkeeper couldn't do anything about it. ”

"In a lot of other cases, he's also been there where he needs to be, maybe not as good as the offensive end, but he's still playing at the top of the line defensively. His defense was great, putting pressure from where the other side couldn't see and I enjoyed his performance tonight, so let's move on, it was a good night for him. ”

About the current state of the team and the next game against Manchester City

Klopp: "We're going to play against Manchester City next and I don't think it makes sense to think too much about how many goals we can score against them now. When facing this opponent, we need to come up with a complex and perfect performance to have a chance, that's it. But I'm really looking forward to it, I'm looking forward to going back home and playing, we have to work hard, in all the games. Last Saturday, which was three days ago, was really tough, but now we have two days left to prepare for the game against Manchester City, which will help, we will find the energy again and then give it our all and that's it. ”

About Arnold

Klopp: "The players need to recover, there is no training on Sunday, we had the only training session on Monday and there was no real intensity. But in any case, Arnold felt some conditions in the adductor muscles during the course of training, and in that area he had a little bit of an injury problem. Obviously, when your muscles have problems, it won't recover so easily, so he's unlikely to play sunday. After that it's International Break and I don't want to make a decision for him, but I don't think he can get into the national team and the others have to make the final decision, hopefully after that he can be ready again, but we can't be sure. ”
