Klopp prefers defeating Leeds to beating Man Utd

Klopp likes the way Liverpool players fight at Leeds, opponents are racing for relegation. He said: "I liked the situation in the 92nd minute. We lost the ball and had four players chasing the opponent. It was really excellent. That's exactly what I wanted."

Liverpool had seven shots on target and scored six goals. Speedy, transformative attacks helped Liverpool score four goals in the second half, after the opponent closed the gap to 1-2. The bad performance of Leeds also contributed to the victory with the same score as the tennis set of coach Klopp's teachers and students.

"To play good football, you need stability," added the German. "Stability comes first from the defense. We always like to counter-attack and tonight everything was perfect. The way we pressed, won the ball and scored were impressive. The whole team ran tirelessly."

Liverpool have scored seven goals against Man Utd this season, beating Rangers 7-1 in the Champions League group stage. But coach Klopp's team did not maintain stability. "The Kop" has been eliminated in the cups, is ranked eighth in the Premier League. Their remaining goal this season is to win tickets to the European Cup. Liverpool are six points behind fifth-placed Tottenham and have played one game less.

According to Klopp, Liverpool need to aim to finish the season in the best way. He said: "We have had a season of ups and downs. There is always a difference between knowing, understanding and feeling. I hope this win is the right signal for the team to play the rest of the matches."
