On August 1st, Liverpool beat Arsenal 2-1 in a pre-season friendly in the United States. After the match, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp held a press conference.
About the US fans
Football is growing in the United States, and the stadiums are full of fans. It’s been a great trip so far, the stadiums here are incredible.
About the victory
I think even in friendlies, you want to beat your opponent. In the end we did, but what pleased me more was the way we won. Of course we were on the back foot in the second half, they completely controlled the ball, but we defended well and I don’t think Arsenal created too many chances. So I’m pleased with the team’s attacking performance in the first half and defensive performance in the second half.
About the young players’ performance
Very good. Both teams made many changes at half time. You can see they are all working hard, but I don’t think any of the young players stood out. The rookie who played well last game was focusing on defense this time.
About Salah
Salah is an example for young players to learn from, but not just this season, he always has been. Now everyone is back fit and healthy, and I hope we can maintain that.
About Elliott
He played in a similar role to a number 10 today, providing two assists. I think he could also do well in two or three other positions.
About Jota
Arsenal played a man-to-man marking system throughout the game. Jota is agile and clever, and he knows when to break through and hold the ball. He was the key to breaking down the man-to-man marking system.
