Diogo Jota was very pleased with the reaction of his Liverpool teammates after scoring on his Premier League debut in Monday night’s 3–1 win over Arsenal. He ended Monday’s match at Anfield, which sealed a strong comeback from Jurgen Klopp’s team, which defended himself strongly after falling into Alexandre Lacazette’s first match, with Sadio Mané and Andy Robertson also in the bow.
Jota may not have wanted a better way to open her Liverpool account, as she controlled the ball with her knee on the edge of the penalty dominance and then sent a soft shot that went off the post. Arsenal would spoil the season start to 100 percent of the champions and saw him harassed by his new teammates.
“It means a lot,” Jota said on the club’s official website. “When you arrive at a team that is world champion, you try to adapt as temporarily as possible. The way they beat me is exceptional. I just appreciate the way they beat me. I think we can build from here and do wonderful things in the future. Obviously, I may have done better, I’d had a few chances before. But I’m pleased with that: to achieve my first purpose in my first match [at Anfield]. And I helped the team seal the result, that’s the most vital thing, to give us the 3 points. “
Liverpool were impressive again, but they didn’t do everything his way against the Gunners, who saw Lacazette miss a fair chance to take the score to 2-2. and revealed the wise words he got from Klopp just before his arrival.
“Arsenal are betting really well on smart dynamics,” said the 23-year-old. “So he just told me to keep the urgency that we were doing very well in the game. And with the ball, just be happy, play,”. my most productive, and that’s what I tried to do. I think I was happy in the end. When we’re at the bank, we watch the game closely, carefully. We know we can arrive at any time and we could “I have a chance to make a decision about the game in the few moments we are. I’m looking out to do it, to be focused. And when I’m in the field, I’m in a position to do the most productive thing. “
Liverpool will again receive Arsenal, with a team replacement on Thursday, as they finished for a spot in the EFL Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
