After the match ended in a draw in Manchester, the "Liverpool" manager Jurgen Klopp was impressed by the opponents' game.
In the match that took place on Sunday evening, "Liverpool" only equalized in the 85th minute against "Manchester United". The 11 of the "Red Devils", who had an advantage for a long time until the equalizing goal was scored, worked hard in defense, which disappointed J. Klopp.
Even before the match, after announcing the starting line-ups, it was possible to predict that defense would be a priority for "Man Utd" in these matches.
"Over the last two years, when we come to 'Old Trafford,' everything 'Man Utd' does is defend. It's not criticism of them, it's just a simple fact," said J. Klopp after the match, still never having achieved victory at the Manchester stronghold.
"Of course, our performance was not the best either, but we will be better in the future, and now we will accept what we got. Everyone is trying to build something, but one team has to defend and the other has to organize the game. I don't feel like we won anything today. It's just one point, but it's still better than zero," continued the German.
Asked about Marcus Rashford's goal, which was counted after a VAR review, J. Klopp replied: "I think most people saw that it was offside. I don't even doubt that it was.
If we didn't have the VAR system, I have no doubt that Atkinson would have immediately blown the offside, but when such an opportunity exists, he decided to continue the game. I understand that he may not have seen the offside, so he allowed the attack to continue. But I have no doubt that he would have blown the offside if he knew that the episode could not be reviewed by the VAR system."
