It had been a while since I had scored and I was thinking, “Where’s the free kick?” I thought about this.“I didn’t like it, but I heard there might be a penalty for us if we don’t do it, but I don’t know. Honestly, I’m more concerned about what we want to do better. That is my main concern tonight. “From a footballing point of view, it’s much more aggressive.
Jurgen Klopp was convinced that Liverpool were not at their best against tolouse, but there was no dissatisfaction after the European League appeared. The Reds went down 3-2 as their unblemished Group A record came to an end in the south of France.
