On Sunday, Liverpool beat Everton 2-0 in the Merseyside derby. Both goals came from the second half. Liverpool coach klopp said humorously after the game that it was lucky that God divided the game into the first and second half.
Everton defended tenaciously in the first half, and Liverpool failed to reach their due level. They didn’t have the first shot until the 21st minute. Liverpool broke the deadlock in the second half.
Klopper admitted after the game that he had a poor performance in the first half: “thank God for dividing the game into two parts. We didn’t play well in the first half, their defense made us feel uncomfortable, our team didn’t run enough to enter their last defense, and we weren’t fast enough.”
“In the second half, we played more directly and created more threats to them. I must say that both goals were very good.”
Klopp said he knew Everton would defend. “I’m not surprised, it’s just that we don’t play well and we can’t control the rhythm, but we have to keep calm. These situations help the players and let them learn more. If someone thinks we can score goals soon, I’m sorry, it didn’t happen.”
