Jurgen Klopp and the team of "Liverpool" finally had success in the 11-meter penalty shootout lottery - the "Community Shield" trophies slipping from the hands of the "Reds" rose in the UEFA Super Cup and won the first title of the season.
"Liverpool" after a fierce and energy-demanding battle proved superiority against London's "Chelsea". After 120 minutes, the result was equal - 2:2, so the winner was decided in the 11-meter penalty series.
During it, the victory was brought to the "Liverpool" team by the only missed shot by Tammy Abraham. This was largely contributed by Adrian - the Spaniard who arrived at the end of the transfer window at "Liverpool" and unexpectedly became the main goalkeeper, repelled the striker's shot and secured victory for his team.
"We talked to Adrian before signing the contract and then it was clear that he would need time to be fully prepared to play. However, it happened that he had to be substituted into the goal immediately," said J. Klopp.
"He gave an incredible performance today. Both goalkeepers were great, but Adrian's performance was more surprising, as he had no serious preparation.
I have to admit and say that I really don't know when he last played for "West Ham". I am so happy for him. I don't think he has won many titles in his life, so this is a very beautiful story. He has already shown that he is also a strong personality in the team. During the break, his voice was heard more than mine," added the strategist.
"Liverpool" captain Jordan Henderson also praised his new colleague: "I am very happy for Adrian. He just joined the club and already became a hero."
