Klopp complimented the ‘exceptional’ player.
Jurgen Klopp offered plenty of praise for one of his players after the Carabao Cup triumph against Fulham on Wednesday night.
Liverpool overcame a goal deficit to win 2-1 at Anfield and move one step closer to earning a spot in the Carabao Cup final.
Willian’s goal in the first half gave Fulham an unexpected lead, but goals from Curtis Jones and Curtis Jones in the second half put Liverpool within striking distance of winning the Wembley final.
Due to an injury that would keep Trent Alexander-Arnold out for a prolonged amount of time, Klopp was obliged to play Conor Bradley at right back.
Bradley, who turned 20 on Wednesday, received a lot of plaudits after making his debut in the team’s 2-0 FA Cup victory over Arsenal a few days earlier.
Klopp was among those who gave him special attention and expressed confidence in his future professional success.
“I doubt he’ll make it home; he’ll probably pass out in the dressing room,” he remarked.
“Outstanding. What a young man. Excellent character, genuine talent, and enormous potential; he’s on the right team because everyone adores, appreciates, and wants the best for him. It’s quite lovely.
It was really difficult and demanding.
“As a team, it was evident that we caused ourselves some problems against a really compact Fulham defence; we played a lot around and got stuck on the wing, no fluidity there, and we had to change that and play more in the half-spaces,” the player said. “He was involved in the goal we conceded, falling over the ball or whatever.”
He continued, evaluating the group’s overall performance, saying, “We had a lot of possession in the first half, but not many results.
We experimented with the formation too much, and now is the moment for us to make some minor adjustments because there were a few things we were accustomed to that weren’t present today. All you need to do is adjust to it; it’s not an issue.
“We witnessed the issues during the first half; the challenge lies in addressing them, communicating with the players, and disseminating information.” Again, halftime was really important to instruct them on where to play and other things because, although we didn’t play poorly, we didn’t play well either.
