The Premier League starts. “Chelsea will not come close to Liverpool and City”
–
Thiago Alcantara started the game against Chelsea on the bench. Jürgen Klopp decided to let the new addition onto the pitch in the 46th minute, when he changed Jordan Henderson. The moment the Spanish midfielder was on the pitch, it was Chelsea played weakly after Andreas Christensen’s red card, who fouled Sadio Mane who was coming to the clean position in the added time of the first half, and there was a 0-0 draw on the scoreboard. Sadio Mane later scored two goals. One from a nice head-bang and the other from a disastrous move from Chelsea’s goalkeeper Kepa.
In the 75th minute, Thiago fouled Timo Werner in the penalty area and the referee pointed to a penalty kick that Jorginho missed.
Thiago Alcantara set a Premier League record in his debut. Klopp was impressed by his performance
Thiago Alcantara, apart from causing the “eleven”, went down in history Premier League. 29-year-old for 45 minutes games set a new league record for the number of passes during one half. He had 75 of them on his account. That’s more than any Chelsea player in the entire match!
After the match, Thiago Alcantara’s performance was assessed by Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp. – Thiago was the best. He trained, had eight days off, then played for the Spanish national team and trained in Munich. He is fit, so this is not the main problem – praised the 29-year-old Klopp.
Chelsea played a different system so you have to get used to the mates next to you. But before they lost a player, they had a perfect match so we decided to bring Thiago and I enjoyed the game very much then. Defensively, it was a difficult game for him because we set him up differently, but when he had the ball he wanted to pass it, said Klopp, quoted by mirror.co.uk.
