Klopp reveals what he told his players in half time against Villarreal

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed what he told his players in the half time during their game vs Villarreal on Tuesday night.

The match was an exciting one as the Reds unexpectedly turns things around in the second half.

The game started with the Yellow Submarines having a 2-0 lead, thanks to goals from Boulaye Dia and Francis Coquelin.

However, after the break, Liverpool fired in three goals, thanks to Fabinho, Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane.

Speaking to BT Sport after the game, Klopp said: “Getting the first goal after two or three minutes, that’s the opposite of what you want. Respect to Villarreal. Stadium, team, coach. Unbelievable. They put us under pressure man-to-man all over the pitch and we didn’t play football at all.

“I told the boys, ‘Yes, they have momentum, but they don’t own it. With one situation we can get it back. We have to play in the right spaces and we have to force ourselves to start playing football.’

“All of a sudden, we broke the lines and found Naby and Trent in the half-spaces and we were in the game, we scored goals and we made it happen.”
