“We were expecting a good offer for him in the summer …”

Jürgen Klopp does not explain it to him. He does not quite understand it. Liverpool had hoped to release Divock Origi this summer, but no one came for him. “Clearly, people do not see enough football,” said the German coach yesterday. His bet yesterday for the coming-out against Milan at Anfield, the first game with an audience in Europe since the beginning of the pandemic, surprised everyone, but ended up working out well. Origi, always in the shadow of one of the best tridents of recent years, always appears in the important moments, like in that corner that portrayed Barcelona before the whole world.

“The truth is that we were waiting for a good offer for him this summer, but clearly people do not see enough football. He is a sensational forward, today he played a great game“Klopp praised at a press conference. “He is a very good boy, he will be considered a legend when he leaves. I could have done it in the summer, but football is very crazy and it seems that they have forgotten how good it is ”.

For people to have forgotten, as Klopp says, Origi's benefits, it has also helped that the player only started six times last season. “Well, it is sometimes difficult to get into this team, but I am very happy for the game he played tonight …”, defended the net coach.
