Jurgen Klopp got a little excited about Liverpool's win
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hailed
the potential of goal scorer Jordon Ibe
as his side recorded a 1-0 away win
against Rubin Kazan in the Europa
League.
Ibe's first goal for the club in his 30th
appearance was enough to give Liverpool a
first away win in Europe for nearly three
years, in a match the visitors dominated
with a calm and controlling performance for
which the 1-0 scoreline did not do justice.
After three successive 1-1 draws in the
Europa League, their first win in nine
European pool games gives them a much
healthier outlook for Group B, where they
now trail leaders Sion by only a point after
their 1-1 stalemate with Bordeaux.
Klopp has now recorded three wins on the
bounce in different competitions - the
Capital One Cup against Bournemouth and
Premier League at Chelsea previously - and
will hope they can carry that form into
Sunday's visit of Crystal Palace.
“Jordon is a really good lad,” Klopp
said. “He's a skilful player and a big
talent....fast, strong, good at dribbling
“He has to learn so much but has a real
good base. He feels good in this moment.
You could see it in this match.
“Like everyone he has a long way to
go. If he's prepared to listen then
he will be very good.”
Klopp is clearly finding his feet at Liverpool,
but he was keen to suggest this is still early
days for his team.
“As in life, we have to learn everything. We
have to learn to win. After 1-0 we lost a bit
of rhythm. That opened the door a bit for
them but we struck back. I am really
satisfied with how we played.
“It's okay. The lads fought for their lives
and that was great to see. You could see
how much they wanted to win.
“We had our chances in the 1-1 draw at
Anfield but tonight we played much better
“It's normal, we are four weeks
together, more experience together.”
