JAKARTA - Liverpool managed to pick up three points at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield Stadium, Thursday, March 2, early morning WIB. This moment was warmly welcomed by Jurgen Klopp who felt his team could win again.
The Reds as the host successfully closed the match with a score of 2-0. The host's deadlock only broke in the 73rd minute through Virgil Van Dijk's header. Four minutes later Mohamed Salah took part in the second goal.
This result is an important moment for Liverpool who had fallen after being beaten by Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League. After that, they drew when they visited Crystal Palace headquarters.
For Klopp, this victory means Liverpool have again found a rhythm of play. However, Klopp is still not satisfied considering that the Reds are considered less than in creating opportunities in this match.
"We controlled the game without creating many chances, but we found our rhythm back," Klopp was quoted as saying by Livescore.com on Thursday, March 2.
Liverpool did manage to dominate the match. It was proven through a record of 15 attempted shots that were only compared to four attempts made by Wolves.
With that note, Klopp thinks his team still has to be more patient on attack considering they only recorded six shots at the goal. However, overall Klopp remains happy considering his current team is able to play better on the defensive side.
"We just have to be solid in defense and keep creating chances. In general, we are holding on well tonight, Diogo (Jota) plays as number-10 really important, the midfield is united, defensively we have high lines and win decisive challenges," Klopp said again.
The manager assessed that Liverpool's game this time was more stable than the match against Real Madrid in the Champions League. This is because Liverpool maintain their back line instead of being busy attacking like against Real Madrid.
"We had a hard time against Real Madrid, we played a really good first half then we started the second half really badly. We looked much more stable today, we had to move on," Klopp said.
