Jurgen Klopp After Last Minute Win: ‘We Did It Our Way’
Jurgen Klopp stated that Liverpool are building the right character by winning matches late as opposed to winning 5-0 after Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Tottenham.
“If you win 5-0 – and I don’t think that would have been possible today – it can lead you on the wrong path. We are all human beings. Nine months ago we started this mission, this ride, and wanted to go for the highest stakes in two competitions. We did it our way. We had to find a way to win games much more often than in the past. Until now it worked. It is all good. The boys work so hard and if we could be first in the table after the last match of season then it would be a championship of will. We want it. We get used to situations, bit by bit, a bit better. The whole stadium, at 1-1, was the best performance of a Liverpool crowd after an equaliser since I am in. The atmosphere was completely front-footed. I am really happy about the attitude again today,” said Klopp.
Mauricio Pochettino praised his players for giving it their best throughout the season despite trying circumstances.
“Our players deserve massive credit. You can not only judge Tottenham this season on the way they play or the position in the table but all the circumstances – playing at Wembley, moving from one stadium to another. My players are heroes and deserve a lot of credit and whatever happens in the end of the season, I’m going to be happy my players are heroes. The circumstances are so tough and we are doing everything to fight to be competitive,” said the Spurs manager.
