Klopp: “I would have preferred City to win 5-0 in the tenth minute, for a moment we thought Villa had equalized 3-3”

Jurgen Klopp said immediately after the game with Wolves that he would prefer Manchester City to win 5-0 in the tenth minute and Liverpool just play their game, while explaining that fans at the stadium eventually came to believe Aston Villa would have made it 3-3, but that moment only lasted a second.

Details of what Jurgen Klopp said: On the development of the game: “I can imagine it was much worse for the people who were and were at home [παρακολουθούσαν] on TV, all over the world, all Liverpool fans when Aston Villa were 2-0 up and thought, ‘OK, that could be it.

I didn’t really know what was going on at Etihad, my mind was on 1-0 and they could have equalised. I did not know. I didn’t hear the full story until after the game.

There was a time when it was 3-2, I heard 3-2 and then for a second it was, I don’t know who started, I thought they equalized again. It was a good moment, but it was only a second and then everyone said, “No, nothing happened.” Out of everything that could happen, I would have preferred City to win 5-0 after 10 minutes and then just play our game. Of course that makes it more difficult“.

For this season: “This season is incredible and it doesn’t end now, it ends next week. And there we will try everything.

We now have five days to prepare for the final. We have an incredibly experienced team, but it’s okay, really okay. And of course the fact that we lost the championship today increased our desire to win it“.
