Jurgen Klopp Had “No Doubt” Jarell Quansah Was Ready to Start in the Europa League
Jurgen Klopp had “no doubt” that Jarell Quansah was ready to start in the Europa League when Liverpool hosted Union SG in Group E. Quansah, 20, produced a mature display alongside Ibrahima Konate and was heavily involved throughout the game. Klopp was pleased with Quansah’s performance and highlighted his “top defending” and “quick thinking” during the post-match press conference.
Quansah’s Development
Klopp was full of praise for Quansah’s development since he joined the team, noting his “outstanding” on-ball skills. He also noted that Quansah will still be considered for Liverpool U21s games, as he is still young. Klopp made nine changes to his side from the 2-1 defeat at Tottenham on Saturday, with only Alisson and Mohamed Salah keeping their places.
Liverpool’s Strength in Depth
When asked about the strength in depth of his team, Klopp was keen to avoid overemphasizing it. He noted that a week later they could be missing five players, and that they have three strikers available for the weekend, with one out for a while and the other (Jota) back afterwards. He noted that they need a specific amount of players for four competitions and that he is “really happy” with the team they have.
