FT: AJAX 0-1 LIVERPOOL
A brilliant result for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, with the week they had with the injuries, getting a winning start and a blank sheet precisely what the doctor prescribed!
Ajax arrived in Liverpool in the middle of the moment, but like the first half, there was no final product when it mattered.
Klopp took no with his fabulous first three, taking them around Jota, Minamino and Shaqiri.
Replacing strikers didn’t save Liverpool from betting the way it wanted.
Jota and his teammates did a smart task by going deep and reaching Ajax in a quick counterattack and even created opportunities to extend the Reds’ advantage, especially in the end when Wijnaldum took a magnificent ball through Jota.
Liverpool picked up all three problems and was a winning start to the 2020-21 Champions League campaign.
PEEEEEEP!
IT’S FULL TIME!
