National media made an action to Liverpool win as Jurgen Klopp’s secret is revealed
How the national media reacted to Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Leicester City at Anfield in the third round of the Carabao Cup. The Reds were late to the goal of Kasey McAteer on the counterattack in the first half, although they reacted in style to successes of Cody Gakpo, Dominik Szoboszlai and Diogo Jota. This match was only the fourth time this campaign that Liverpool responded to a goal with a 3-1 win. Jurgen Klopp’s side next face Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup in the week starting October 30.
The national media shared their assessment of the events at Anfield, as did the ECHO’s own Paul Gorst, whose thoughts on the action can be found below. “On the training grounds at AXA’s Liverpool headquarters, Dominik Szoboszlai’s shooting has surprised his teammates since he arrived in the summer. The secret is now out. “The central defender scored a stunning strike just when his new team needed it. it. continue his seamless adjustment to life at Anfield and topple Championship resistance leaders Leicester City in the process.
“It was telling that Jurgen Klopp turned to the £60m signing from RB Leipzig as this Carabao Cup tie remained at 1-1 and almost immediately he scored a stardust goal. Taking a pass from Wataru Endo and positioning himself on the right, Szoboszlai unleashed a wicked strike that arrowed from 20 yards out of focus into the top corner and left Anfield a little more intrigued by a player who quickly won the hearts and minds of supporters.”
“Liverpool came from behind to win for the fifth time in eight games. It was their fourth straight 3-1 win and the sixth time this season that Jürgen Klopp’s side have scored three goals in a game. Even at half-time, Liverpool’s progress to the fourth round was rarely in doubt.
“The visitors’ determination to play from the back under Enzo Maresca is admirable, but very risky against a ruthless and intelligent opponent like Liverpool. That’s exactly what happened when Gakpo equalized. Wataru Endo broke an ambitious Albrighton ban, allowing Ryan Gravenberch to find his compatriot Gakpo away The Dutch national team player beat Stolarczyk with a precise goal.”
“Rather, Szoboszlai spent 65 minutes on the sidelines watching him carelessly take control of proceedings. “The Hungarian captain is an exciting familiar sight because he imposed his class when his team needed it most. The Gerrard comparison swallows his unerring ability to strike from distance with venom – “like setting off a hand grenade”, as Klopp put it – alongside his athleticism and ability to pick the right pass.
“Only Liverpool scouts can confirm how good a man they thought the 22-year-old was when he met RB Leipzig’s £60million buyout clause last summer. If they really knew that was his level, it’s no wonder that they were ready to leave.Jude from Bellingham. Szoboszlai is a mirror image.”
“Dominik Szoboszlai brought out the Hungarian hammer with another great Liverpool No.8, a Steven Gerrard-worthy winner. “Jurgen Klopp turned the tables against Szoboszlai and Darwin Nunez at 1-1 midway through the second half and it took just five minutes for the 60 million £ midfielder to unleash his magical right boot. Wataru Endo fed Szoboszlai on the edge of the box and he connected brilliantly as the ball hit the top corner.
“Liverpool have now won their last five games by three or more goals – the first time since Kenny Dalglish’s side in the 1980s.”
“If there was one key feature of Liverpool’s opening weeks of the season, it was Jurgen Klopp’s ability to thoroughly display his newfound strength week after week. “Command a deserved Carabao Cup win against Leicester City along with Newcastle United and Wolves. . and would CALCULATE. After just eight games played, Klopp is already producing consistent results using everyone in his ranks. It was not always like this, but the manager has an embarrassment of riches in a team that is now 19 games unbeaten since the beginning of April.
“The Reds won 3-1 for the fifth time this season and this time it was achieved without having to trouble Mohamed Salah, Alisson Becker or Andy Robertson, who all had the night off, as well as captain Virgil van Dijk and Luis Diaz, both of whom were on the bench. . The fact that Trent Alexander-Arnold and Thiago Alcantara are still not back and it is clear that the manager has assembled a spectacular squad. “Game-changing substitutions at key stages have been consistent, with Klopp and the Reds boss demanding perfection almost every week now. This time Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai made it Liverpool’s way as Cody Gakpo canceled out Kasey McAteer’s early opener at the Kop end. The Reds’ prize is a trip to the fourth round of the Premier League at Bournemouth.”
