Prague –
Juergen Klopp not completely satisfied with the performance Liverpool even if it’s a goal party at home Sparta Prague. According to him, the Reds’ performance was not satisfactory.
Liverpool visited Epet ARENA, Friday (8/3/2024) early morning WIB, to play the first leg 2023/2024 Europa League Round of 16. Liverpool took an easy 3-0 lead in the first half through goals from Darwin Nunez (2) and Luis Diaz, which was added to by Luis Diaz and Dominik Szoboszlai in the second half.
Sparta reduced the score at the start of the second half through Conor Bradley’s suicide. Despite the big win, there are important notes from Klopp.
Liverpool were actually troubled throughout the match by Sparta. Even after taking a quick lead, Liverpool almost conceded several times if Caoimhin Kelleher didn’t play brilliantly.
Sparta made a total of 10 attempts, seven of which were on goal and six were thwarted by Kelleher.
“So, the result is better than our performance, that’s the reality,” Klopp was quoted as saying Sportsmole.
“Sparta played well; Sparta were willing to take risks, they suddenly had a winger appear and we didn’t defend well, so they were able to make a few counter-attacks. We lost the ball a few times unnecessarily, which was difficult to defend, But on the one hand we could have done better.”
“They were willing to take risks, we were able to punish them for that in some moments, we scored beautiful goals, we had some good moments in the game, very good moments, and we never thought it would be that easy to play here. “
“We obviously didn’t have an easy match, we had to work hard, but we didn’t expect an easy match and it wasn’t like that. But this is a good result and now we go home, rest and meet again next week.”
