– It’s a problem – VG

– It was very satisfying. The guys deserved it 100 percent, and the guys played an amazing match against a superior, superior, superior opponent. I don’t take for granted playing like we did tonight, says Jürgen Klopp in an interview shown on TV 2 after the game.

But even if he was happy with the performance itself, it wasn’t all he could enjoy.

Because in the 2-0 position, with steely control of the game and sometimes brilliant attacking football, what did not happen happened.

Another Liverpool player was injured.

And Klopp was furious after the game. It thundered against rights holders in England, Sky Sports and BT Sports, during the calendar.

– With the problems you give us, and the discussions with the schedule, we have to control the games. It is a great challenge against an opponent like this.

– We have a completely different challenge this year. It is very hard. How important it is with the substitutes, I can’t believe it … The reason we make substitutions late is because we constantly have to think that someone is going to go down with a muscle injury. We can’t make changes early, because if you change early and someone else injures a muscle, then you have to finish playing the game with nine players. That’s the truth, and nothing more, says Klopp.

Nearby Keïta suffered a muscle injury against Leicester. After 54 minutes, he stomped the firefighter off the field while holding onto the billboard.

This is bad news for a Liverpool that has already been hit hard by injuries.

Key players such as Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho, Joel Matip, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Thiago Alcântara and the recently crown-infected Mohamed Salah have been injured or ill during the 2020/21 season, the season in which Liverpool will attempt defend the league gold. they took so magnificently last season.

However, the German Liverpool manager arrived with a happy post-match message: He confirmed that Mohamed Salah tested negative for the coronavirus early Sunday. Therefore, it will probably be relevant for the next Champions League game against Atalanta.

But Klopp by no means ended his tirade against licensees.

– Nothing happens

– It was never about us, it’s about all the players. The players from England, all of whom will play the European Championship next summer. If you don’t start talking to BT, we’re done. Sky and BT need to talk to each other. We do continue to play Wednesday night and Saturday at 1.30pm, so I’m not sure we can finish the season with 11 players, for the top six or seven teams. But I know you don’t care, and that’s the problem.

Then the Sky Sports reporter tried to enter. He started the sentence by saying “it’s wrong”, but Klopp didn’t want any of that.

– No, not bad, because we have discussed it for a long time and nothing happens. Everybody says “here it is difficult, there it is difficult”, but it is very difficult for the players. These are the ones that are difficult for. The rest is just a decision on a desk in an office, and I don’t find it difficult.

– We continue like this, and if you want to see games like this … I’m happy with tonight’s game, but we lost a new midfielder. On our bench it was clear that we did not have much, and that is the situation. But it’s not about us and I have to say it again.

Already on Wednesday, Liverpool will be back in action. Then a new match against Brighton awaits on Saturday.

– It’s an early Christmas present. We show up there and we’re shaking. You can go there and you can always miss a soccer game. It is always possible, even for us, but it is a problem. We cannot change from 10 to 11 players. We cannot present ourselves, we have to win football matches. Start talking together and make decisions! Says Klopp.

30 moves before scoring

The first goal of the game came after 21 minutes of play. Liverpool then ran into Leicester’s goal for 20 minutes, and it was former Manchester United player Jonny Evans who was behind the first goal of the match.

Nordiren was superior in the duel with Sadio Mané, but with a clumsy header he put the ball behind a Kasper Schmeichel without a chance. Evans ‘tenth own goal in the Premier League this season and Evans’ sixth own goal as a Premier League player.

Only Richard Dunne (10), Jamie Carragher (7) and Martin Skrtel (7) have more own goals at the highest level in England.

And if the first goal was a bit of luck for Liverpool, the second was simply beautiful. Exactly 20 minutes after the first goal, James Milner handed a pass to Andy Robertson. He calmed the ball, passed a man and targeted summer signing Diogo Jota, who took a smart run. The Portuguese elegantly stabbed the ball behind Schmeichel.

And not only that: the goal came after Liverpool made 30 plays within the team. It is the longest attack he has led to score since choose received corresponding figures in the 2006/07 season.

That goal made Jota the first Liverpool player in history to score in his first four home games in the English first division.

After abusing opportunity after opportunity, Liverpool finally landed a well-deserved 3-0 goal when Roberto Firmino stepped up and put the finishing touches on the corner.

Despite the missed opportunities, Liverpool scored three points, which also set a new club record. This was their 64th straight home game without a loss in the league. The old 63-game series without a home loss in the league was stopped in January 1981 by none other than Leicester.

But history did not repeat itself in November 2020.

Instead, history was written.
