Such a nightmare the "Liverpool" coach had not experienced in England before. Yesterday, in a "Premier" league match, the defending champions "the Reds" suffered a 2:7 defeat to the Birmingham team "Aston Villa". After the match, the German was asked if he could believe the outcome of the game. "Yes, I see the result. It's easy to believe because I was there. First of all, I have to say that "Aston Villa" played very well. They showed exceptional physicality, intelligence, and direct play, which we lacked. Although we had great opportunities, we didn't take advantage of them. However, when you concede seven goals, you can't say it should have been 7:7. We made mistakes too often, sometimes very rudely. It all started from the first goal - and each subsequent opponent's accurate strikes were accompanied by our mistakes. It seemed like we lost our territory when we fell behind 0:1. Usually, even if you're trailing 0:1, you can continue to demonstrate your play, but every lost ball turned into a threatening "Aston Villa" attack in a quick counter. There's no one else to blame, except ourselves," - assured J. Klopp.
