“If things don’t go the way they should, you still need to fight”

Liverpool head coach Jürgen Klopp commented on the draw in the postponed match of the 8th round of the Premier League against Chelsea (0:0):

“So in the last few years I have seen a couple of 0-0 games against Chelsea. The two finals are some of the best games I’ve seen. Everything was different today. Both teams are at a low level of confidence, but they put up a good fight. Super attitude and super mentality, and that’s what I saw. They had a chance, we had a chance. We must fight to the end, they must fight to the end. It was a super tense but not exciting game.

Reaction should always be important. I’ve seen a lot of serious problems, the players rushed into tackles, and that’s what we need. The midfield trio did not often play together. We must rely on this. When things don’t go right, you have to fight and take steps – sometimes small, sometimes big. And it was a small step.

In terms of passion, I really enjoyed the game. Yes, it was not the best football, but the guys are really good footballers, and today they showed a special game. The opponent desperately wanted to win, so did we, and in the end we took a point.

Upcoming match against Arsenal? Our statistics at home are not as bad as before, so tonight we showed that we really want to win. Anfield is waiting for us and we want to show results. Van Dijk should return to play with the gunners. He was sick, but we have a few days before the weekend.”
