Klopp does not give up the key after Liverpool’s 2-0: “It’s a dangerous marker”

Liverpool took a big step in its goal of qualifying for the Champions League final. This Wednesday night at Anfield, the ‘Reds’ beat Villarreal 2-0 in the first leg of the semifinals. Despite the difference, coach Jürgen Klopp avoided being confident and opted for caution.

“When we attack Villarreal, we have to score. I really liked the first half, but we lacked the goal. They could threaten us with their pressure, but we did very well to control them. But 2-0. It is a dangerous marker. It’s just the rest of the tie.”analyzed the German at a press conference.

Klopp insisted that “nothing has happened yet” and urged his players to be “one hundred percent psyched”ahead of the second leg against the ‘Yellow Submarine’, scheduled for Tuesday, May 3 at the Estadio de la Cerámica.

“You have to play the second half like the first. We are winning 2-0. It will be a difficult environment. It’s going to be different. We have seen this team fight for their coach and they will surely fight to be in the final”warned the 54-year-old strategist.

On the other hand, Klopp referred to Sadio Mané, scorer of Liverpool’s second goal, and did not want to describe it as unfair or not if the Senegalese is not considered for the Ballon d’Or nomination.

“An outstanding season, yes. But I have nothing to do with the Ballon d’Or nominations. Mané is world class, but you have to win trophies to win the Ballon d’Or, unless you are Messi and Cristiano. He is in his best season.” sentenced.
