Diogo Jota was disappointed that he couldn’t share his debut goal in front of the Liverpool faithful, but did not reveal anything when asked if he could become a starter with Jurgen Klopp.

The Portuguese striker, a £ 41m arrival from Wolves earlier this month, had been animated during his last appearance.
He saw a shot into the side net, before Mohamed Salah took another shot at him when he was ready to shoot.
Who He was disappointed that no fans were present to witness his debut goal for the club and hopes it will be the first of many.
“I wish it could be with a full stadium. That would be even more special, but I’m very happy to help the team and seal the result, ”he said.
“The first is always the most difficult. Now I have one, I want more. “
Jota spoke confidently when he signed about pushing for a regular first team jersey.
However, when asked to evict one of Sadio Mane, Salah or Roberto Firmino, he had a more conservative answer.
“It’s not up to me to decide that, obviously (it’s) the coach,” he said.
However, he insisted that he would do his best to impress Klopp in training.
“I will do my job every day in training, hard work and obviously on match days I will try to do my best and help the team.”
Klopp objects to Keane’s comments
A happy Klopp described Liverpool’s performance as “exceptional” after the game. He also disagreed that Roy Keane used the word “sloppy” in his analysis.

The German said: “Did I hear right that Mr. Keane said we had a sloppy performance tonight? I could already hear you. Did he say that?
Was it a sloppy performance tonight? Maybe she talked about another game. It can’t be this game, sorry.
