Liverpool have gained a solid defence under Arne Slot’s regime. The team has been playing possession-oriented football, mixed with the strengths of the Jurgen Klopp era, and has been strong since the start of the season.
Following the Carabao Cup, the recent Premier League match against Brighton. They welcomed the away team to Anfield, but ended the first half behind with little to show for their attack at half-time.
After a change of gear, Liverpool turned the tables in the second half with back-to-back goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah.
Japan midfielder Wataru Endo, who came on in the 77th minute, reflected on the atmosphere that enveloped the stadium on the day of the game and said it brought about the comeback, recalling his first Premier League goal last season.
“The atmosphere in Anfield was crazy,”
“I remember my goal against Fulham [in last December’s 4-3 win] and after that we scored again. Today was kind of a similar atmosphere in Anfield.”
“They created an amazing atmosphere and I think we feel like we played plus one. Thank you for always supporting us.”
“It was a tough game. First half, Brighton were playing very well. Second half, we kept the intensity high.”
“I think that’s why we could score two. After we scored, I came in and my job was very clear. I just did my job and we’re glad to win this game.”
“We know that our team needs everyone to contribute because we need to play a lot of games,”
“I think everyone is trying to prepare well for every game, and if they have the chance they just play their best. Now we are keeping winning and everyone is doing their job, so we are good.”
“Joey played very well, also all the players who were subbed in. I think everyone was ready for doing their job, that’s the important thing.”
“For me, even if I start or not I just get ready for the chances and try to do my best.”
