Jurgen Klopp is rather pleased with Liverpool’s new signing Takumi Minamino’s performance in his debut match for the club against Everton.Â
Liverpool won 1-0 in the FA cup against Everton on Sunday. The Liverpool boss found Minamino’s play “outstanding” and was highly impressed by the way the 24-year old Japan international played on Sunday.
Minamino was signed on January 1st, 2020 at Anfield, from RB Salzburg where he previously played.Â
“Super. Outstanding. Exactly the player we wanted, exactly the player we wished for,” Klopp told a news conference.
“In your first game in a team that you don’t know, if it’s a settled team it’s already difficult, this team we threw on the pitch with more or less two sessions together and then showing this kind of game understanding, [his] football skills are exceptional, attitude is outstanding, leading the chasing pack so often in different situations.
“It was a nice add on to have Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain back because he looked pretty lively when he came on, trains only two days now and that’s why he didn’t start.
“But yeah it was super.”
Liverpool are leading by 13 points in the Premier League table at the top. They will be facing Tottenham next on Saturday for an away match.
