We Worked hard For Our Win- Júrgen Klopp

After an exhilarating performance, coach of Liverpool FC and German tactician Júrgen Klopp has praised his team spirit in their 3-1 thrashing of Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge.

Klopp who no doubt recorded his first Barclays  Premiere League Victory today has hailed his team performance against a hard fighting and struggling Chelsea team. The manager hinted that the brace from philippe  Coutinho and that of substitute Christian Benteke turned the game around following a fourth minutes opener from Ramires.

Though enjoyed most of the ball possession, what really gave Klopp much satisfaction was coutinho's superb finish from the edge of the area and Benteke's  glorious impact from the bench as the visitors stylishly secured their 3points in peace.


He said: “We didn’t have the best start in the game. We needed a few minutes to come into it and Chelsea made their goal – one of those strange situations where there were four against two in the corner and they made the cross.
“They made their goal but we stood in the game. We had our moments, we played football and our build-up with short passes – what we want to do – was very good.
“They tried to make high pressure but we could play in the spaces between. So we could change the situation a little bit and I think in the first half we deserved it.
“Of course, it’s dangerous because of the quality of Chelsea with the counter. But we controlled these situations; not perfectly, we showed the guys a few situations at half-time where we had to protect our situations better. We made a goal and deserved the draw at half-time.
“In the second half it was an open game, we got a little bit more of the game and made our goals in two perfect moments for us. Shoot at the right moment, don’t shoot at the wrong moment, take the ball to a better situation and then shoot. A little bit of luck, of course, but I feel it was deserved.
“At the end, we had to work hard but that’s normal if you want to win at Chelsea. We had to work hard and that’s what we did.”
Klopp who saw his first game at anfield with a one all draw against Southampton has clearly made the difference with this win over Chelsea as the reds were unrelenting in proving their master class at Stamford bridge.
The German tactician added: “Their reaction was much better.
“In life like in football, you have to make mistakes and then you can talk about it, you can work on it and change it. Or you don’t know it’s a mistake or that you will react like this when it happens.
“I haven’t known the team long enough that I can imagine all of the reactions of my team in specific situations. We made this fault [against Southampton] and spoke about it.
“It’s not possible to train that part of football. But you can change things and that’s what they did today.
“That reaction is very important for us because in the Premier League it’s not possible that in each game you’ll go into a 3-0 lead and play easygoing. You have to fight, that’s what we did today. And you have to solve your problems in the game and that’s what we did today too.”
