Jurgen Klopp's two homework after Liverpool defeated Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid performed smart and pragmatic when they beat Liverpool 1-0 in the first leg of the Champions League last 16 2019/20, Wednesday (02/19/2020) yesterday. Playing at Wanda Metropolitano, Atleti really made the Reds frustrated.
Imagine, after stealing a quick goal through Saul Niguez in the 4th minute, Atleti immediately played passively. Diego Simeone's troops applied a layered defense, which made it difficult for Liverpool to find a gap.
This defeat is the first defeat since Liverpool junior defeated Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup a few months ago. Now the Reds have to wait for the second leg schedule, March 12, 2020, to take revenge on Atletico.
Nevertheless, Jurgen Klopp must first focus on the match in the Premier League before returning to entertain Atletico. The defeat of Atletico also left two problems that Liverpool had to solve.
Past dozens of matches, the quality of Virgil van Dijk is almost never in doubt. He has applied extraordinary standards since wearing the Reds costume.
However, Van Dijk did not look like usual in the defeat of Atletico yesterday. He made a mistake that led to Saul's goal, not as usual.
Indeed he is still the same tough defender, who could have even won the Ballon d'Or last season. Van Dijk may be exhausted from continuing to play, fortunately Liverpool have a long time before returning to play on 25 February.
No one can underestimate the important role of Jordan Henderson for Liverpool. Although not always scoring goals or making assists, Henderson is a midfielder and leader who keeps the team's focus.
Unfortunately, Henderson was forced to pull out when Liverpool tried to catch up from Atletico. He is thought to have suffered a hamstring injury, although there is no certainty how severe the injury will be.
If Henderson's injury turns out to be worse than initially thought, Jurgen Klopp clearly has a new problem. Henderson is one of the most consistent players in midfield.
