Liverpool emerged triumphant from London, where they beat Arsenal 2-0 and cut three points from Manchester City, the Premier League leaders, who are now just one away. Despite this, the duel leaves wounds in the red team, which was vulnerable on the left wing of Gabriel Martinelli. Trent Alexander-Arnold ended up badly outmatched by the gunner attacker, which gave rise to his detractors who accuse him of not knowing how to defend.
Jürgen Klopp was asked about this after the match, who left this threat: “If someone says that Trent can’t defend, then let him come and I’ll knock him out.” The German coach is tired of the criticism of Alexander-Arnoldand recognized him to the microphones of Sky Sports: “I can’t listen to this anymore, I don’t know what else the boy has to do.”
But Klopp quickly changed his gesture when he spoke about the team’s situation in the Premier: “We’ve had a good run, which was what we needed. We’re one point away but everything remains the same: we have to win football games. Of course, it’s better to be a point behind than 14 points.”
The Liverpool coach is ambitious and does not want to settle for what has already been achieved, despite the fact that he has cut more than 10 points from Guardiola’s team in recent days: “Ten years from now, do you think anyone will say I should be proud (of finishing second by a point)? Probably not. We know we have a special group here and we’re trying to squeeze as much as we can out of it.”
