Jurgen Klopp after losing the first season match said that he saw a good face of his team.
On Sunday, Liverpool fought Manchester City for the Community Shield trophy. The winner was determined only after an 11-meter penalty shootout. Despite the fact that these trophy matches are considered more friendly in nature, J. Klopp said that based on the performances of both teams, it could be concluded that this battle was not similar to a "friendly sparring".
"Man City" looked hungry enough. It does not always work, but today there was a real fight," the German said. "After what was said about this tournament, we can say that both teams were desperate to win trophies".
Our team is not the one that is satisfied at one point and not willing to work at another. The character shown by the team was incredibly good.
We had a quite challenging preparation for the season, but the guys did what they had to do. We played against really good opponents and that did not allow us to feel good.
Today it was important to show the fans that we can still play well and give our all. Now we just need to continue the work we started," Klopp added.
Liverpool's team will already face Norwich in the first Premier League match on Friday.
