Jurgen Klopp reacted in amazement when Liverpool were seen pressing for the ball in the 92nd minute against Leeds United.
Speaking in a post-match interview with the BBC, the Reds manager spoke of his favourite moment from the game.
“The counter-pressing was the best in ages,” said Klopp.
“My favourite bit was in the 92nd minute, four players chasing a poor boy for Leeds on the ball. Fantastic.
“We played good stuff and scored incredible goals.”
As shown in a video shared by Football Daily on Twitter, the German is seen reacting with joy to numerous Liverpool players swarming a single Leeds man in injury time.
Slumping in his seat, Klopp is seen shouting, “Oh my god!” – before getting up to clap his team.
Klopp’s fantastic reaction to 92nd minute press
Despite six goals being scored, this was the most telling part of Liverpool’s performance.
The Reds became known for their incredible press under Klopp, and it was probably the biggest reason why the side became so successful in both the Premier League and Champions League.
However, the urgency that was so vital to Liverpool’s suffocating attack has been absent this season.
The team have not pushed together as a unit, and counter-attacks have become scarce.
This moment in the 92nd minute against Leeds was exactly what the Merseyside outfit had been missing – and it was a sure sign of the Liverpool of old.
If the Reds are to get back to their best, this is how they need to play.
Klopp certainly missed seeing this style in action!
