LIverpool –
Diogo Jota judging victory 5-0 Liverpool above Manchester United at Old Trafford is not the benchmark. He assesses the duel of the two teams at Anfield will be difficult.
Liverpool will host Man United at Anfield in the follow-up Premier League, Wednesday (20/4/2022) early morning WIB. This duel is predicted to be hot because of the long rivalry between the two teams in the match titled North-West Derby.
Moreover, both teams both need three points with different missions. The Reds need a win in order to continue to keep their chances of overtaking Manchester City at the top of the standings. Liverpool is currently in second place with 73 points, one point behind The Citizens at the top of the standings.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are still chasing a ticket to the Champions League. The Red Devils are now in fifth position, three points adrift of Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League zone.
Pillar of Liverpoool, Diogo Jota, understands that the duel against MU has a very high prestige. He believes the duel will be difficult for the squad Juergen Klopp.
In the first meeting of the season which took place at Old Trafford, Liverpool were able to slaughter MU 5-0. However, Jota emphasized that these results will not be a benchmark in the duel at Anfield later.
Yes, another big game. We know what it means for the fans in a classic like this. It will be very difficult for us and it is the first of the last seven games we have until the end of the season.
“So winning is the only option for us, although it won’t be easy to do that, so we have to be at our best,” said Jota, quoted from Liverpool’s website.
“It was a great day for us, the fans and everyone will remember for a while. But we mustn’t be swayed by that result, because it would be bullshit on our part if we thought it would be easy, or whatever it was because of Man. United is never going to be easy.”
“I think we did a fantastic job that day at Old Trafford and we have to be at that level if you want to get the three points again.”
