On how pleased he was to see the first three goals scored from corners and his team\u2019s general improvement in set-pieces\u2026<\/p>\n
That\u2019s very pleasing. First of all, because that\u2019s the reason why we won [and] second of all, because when I was just standing around your colleagues people said, \u2018Well played, well played,\u2019 and I said, \u2018In my opinion, we\u2019ve played better this season.\u2019 We played OK to good \u2013 so, we were OK to good but it wasn\u2019t the best game of the season. We\u2019ve played better when we\u2019ve lost [and] we\u2019ve played better when we conceded set-pieces.<\/p>\n
But as I always said, things went back to normal. We created quite a lot of chances from set-pieces in the first part of the season and almost every set-piece we conceded went in, and today you could see exactly the opposite happening. I think one of their first big chances was a set-piece that would have gone in in the first six or seven months [of the season], 100 per cent sure. But now we did it and we start scoring from set-pieces and then things look much brighter and better than when you don\u2019t, and that\u2019s really pleasing for us, for the team and for our fans as well.<\/p>\n
On what has changed with Liverpool and set-pieces\u2026<\/p>\n
Things went back to normal, mainly, because I just said that we\u2019ve created quite a lot of chances in the first half of the season that constantly did not go in, or too many times did not go in with being unlucky. We were a lot of times very close. And even today we conceded the set-piece, they scored one and they could have scored a second one in the first half \u2013 that would have been the first one, but you know what I mean.<\/p>\n
Maybe one or two small details have changed defensively and offensively, I think we are set up slightly, slightly different. But the biggest reason is that things go back to normal. There was a period of time that we were 23 goals behind Arsenal in set-pieces, including penalties, by the way. And we\u2019re still not only three goals away from them but we\u2019ve closed the gap a little bit. Although you never know what can happen this weekend with Arsenal because I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if they scored three from set-pieces this weekend as well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On how pleased he was to see the first three goals scored from corners and his team\u2019s general…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":450872,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[607,608,49,596,603,598,609,611,610,134,602,601,597,606,50,599,604,600,51,47,52,48,605],"class_list":["post-450871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-alisson","tag-firmino","tag-headlines","tag-homepage","tag-klopp","tag-lfc","tag-lfc-news","tag-lfctv","tag-lfctv-go","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-liverpool-fc-match","tag-liverpool-fc-news","tag-liverpool-football-club","tag-mane","tag-news","tag-reds","tag-salah","tag-the-reds","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-van-dijk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=450871"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450871\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/450872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
