Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was ecstatic about his team's 2-0 win over AC Milan on Saturday in the International Champions Cup match, pointing out their dominance as a cohesive unit.
Reds' Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino each found the back of the net in the second to power Liverpool past a tough AC Milan team. Klopp, who is doing an outstanding job as the main tactician for Liverpool so far, acknowledged the individual brilliance of Origi, though gave more weight on their 'dominant' team play.
"Everybody knows about the potential of Divock Origi. I understand that after a game like this you name single players," Klopp said via ESPN FC. But I think, especially tonight, it is not the night to talk about single players. If you want to talk, then it's [about] the style of play, the dominance we had, the passing.
"The situation we had in the first half -- we played brilliant, we did the right thing, we did the right thing, we passed all time until we were through. We created chances, we didn't score -- that's right. Of course, you need a finish but that will come 100 percent."
With Klopp at helm, Liverpool is projected to fly high this season, competing with Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City and defending champion Leicester City for the Premier League title.
