In the first round of the Premier League, Liverpool played a match without a winner away to Chelsea. The duel ended with a score of 1:1. A day after the derby, everyone in England and Europe was talking about the performances of the teams, as well as some of the decisions of the referee.

When asked if he was satisfied with the result, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: “For the moment. The start was very good, on both sides, both in attack and defense. We scored the first goal, we also scored a great second goal, but unfortunately from offside,” Klopp began his statement to the BBC. “If you ask me if I am completely satisfied with the match, then the answer is no, but I have seen enough, I have seen a step forward in the right direction. We had our moments, it was very intense, sometimes wild. We should have controlled things better, but we didn’t, now we continue to work,” continued the German. “McAllister is clearly a very good football player, we saw that with the first goal as well. The new players gave us great chances offensively. Szoboszlai is a beast, in this match he played in three positions. Great guys, great players,” concluded Klopp.

New Liverpool’s captain Virgil van Dijk says everyone in the squad wants to put things right. “We had a good 20-25 minutes, with and without the ball, we scored a good goal. After our disallowed goal, they also entered the match. I think we defended well. It’s not easy. All in all, a good match that could have ended in other ways. We took the point.”

In the 76th minute, there was a bit of a surprising move; Jurgen Klopp took Muhammad Salah out of the game, who didn’t like it. Leaving the field, Salah angrily unwrapped the bandages from his hand and threw them around the field, and after saying goodbye to Harvey Elliott, who replaced him, he did not do the same with the manager Klopp.

Roy Keane, the former captain of Manchester United, and today an analyst commented on that situation. “It’s okay to be upset, but don’t let it last too long. He was shaking his head and sitting on the bench with his hands up. Sit there and shut up. You have to accept the decision,” said Keane in his brutal style.

After the first round and first big derby in the Premier League, we know that our expectations for tense matches and high tempo will be met, and this season in the Premier League has everything that it needs to be the best in history.
