Patrick Bimford scored Leeds’ second goal against Liverpool
In his usual guise, Argentine manager Marcelo Bielsa, Leeds United manager, spoke after the four-way loss to Liverpool, noting that “we were able to avoid defeat.”
Liverpool beat Leeds 4-3 in a wonderful and exciting opening match for the two teams in the first round of the Premier League.
Leeds gave an exciting and forceful return to the English Premier League champions last season, prompting Juergen Klopp to praise the team, and this matter was relayed to Bielsa, but he did not receive the praise with joy.
“I can never be happy that I lost in the end,” Bielsa said of the Klopp tribute.
How was the match?
“We could have avoided a loss to Liverpool,” said the Leeds manager.
“We played with our style and imposed on them the way we played in many moments of the match, and now our goal in the next matches is to achieve victory with ours and our way,” he said during the post-match press conference.
“Liverpool dominated the game at times, and at other times we dominated the game, and there were many tied moments in the game,” he said.
He went on to say: “At times we were able to beat Liverpool, but overall Liverpool were ahead.”
Bielsa praised his team’s midfielder Matthews Klitch, who scored the third goal for Leeds, He said: “He is a very important player for the team.”
“Matthews defends in a similar way to Calvin Phillips, a Leeds midfielder, and he attacks in a similar way to Pablo Hernandez, a star Leeds midfielder, and very few players can do both.”
He added: “Especially when you defend against players like Keita and Vinaldom, and when you attack against players like Van Dyck, Henderson and Fabinho.”
Salah continued to maintain his brilliance and opened his new season in the best possible way with a hat-trick that shook Leeds. (See details)
Salah became the first Liverpool player to score a hat-trick in the Reds’ league opener since John Aldridge in the 1988-89 season.
The victory secured Liverpool’s first three points, while Leeds’ first win was postponed after returning to the Premier League for the first time since the 2003/04 season.
