Madness in London. Souček et al. they chased Klopp to the blast, West Ham headed higher

Emotions blazed both on the lawn and after the match behind the scenes. On the other hand, Jürgen Klopp’s play was disheartening. He was furious at the beginning, when Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson knocked the ball into his own goal. According to Klopp, he was attacked illegally.

“It is interesting that you ask that at all. I don’t know if I should answer that if you don’t even know what the situation might have bothered me. Is it your job not to have your own opinion? ”Klopp demanded of the BBC reporter. “There are a lot of countries where it would simply be an offensive foul,” added the German coach.

His charges were able to equalize in the first half, but around the 70th minute they collected twice thanks to Formals and Zouma. The final reduction of Origi no longer solved anything. Tomáš Souček played the whole match for the home team (and received a yellow card), Vladimír Coufal also got on the field for less than ten minutes.

Stadium and fans? No problem at all

While Kloppa had to be moderated by his collaborators, his counterpart David Moyes shone like the sun. No wonder: his coaching career was his first ever victory over Liverpool after four draws and ten defeats. “A brilliant win against a great opponent,” Moyes smiled.

In addition to his players, he also praised the fans who created a breathtaking atmosphere at London Stadium. At the same time, there are many who still claim that the stadium built for the 2012 Olympics cannot be compared to the old Boleyn Ground tabernacle, where West Ham played for over a hundred years, in terms of “football”.

“I know a lot of people said they don’t like so much here, but I think it’s a great stadium and our fans were driving us to victory today,” Moyes said.

When it comes to fans, bad languages ​​claim that the underrated West Ham succeeded last season (6th place and promotion to the European League), partly because most of the season was played without spectators. “You can see that we are proving the opposite,” the Kladivář coach is pleased.

Moyes is no longer afraid to declare an attack on a direct promotion to the Champions League, which would mean a lot to a traditional London club. “It didn’t cost us two points last time, so why can’t we be in the top four of the league now? But I don’t want to talk about the title, we are not that far yet, “added the Scottish coach of West Ham.

The Hammers have never played in the Champions League (or the previous European Champions Cup). Souček et al. Will succeed. this time?
