Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp made a comment about the match of the EFL Cup quarter-finals against Leicester (3-3, 5-4 on pen.).
“I am very satisfied with the game, the spirit and the mindset that we showed today in many moments. Of course, the first half was hard for us. Everything was fine when we played properly. But when we played on the actions of the opponent, then the problems began. They easily won duels, counterattacked and scored goals with ease.
Substitutions helped us, of course. When Jota is in good shape and takes part in the game, he is very useful. Then Naby Keïta came to the pitch and showed great football! I really liked the way the guys played.
And at the end of the game it was Caoimhín Kelleher’s turn. I should note not only his performance during the penalty shootout, but also his save from Albrighton. He saved our lives. We advanced to the semi-finals and this is great,” Klopp said.
