Liverpool's visit to the Premier League in the early hours of Monday morning (28th) was a dramatic battle, with Liverpool trailing by one goal and playing with less than a goal disadvantage, but with the back-up of Darwin Nunes as the savior, finally in extra time "kill" to win 2-1 over Newcastle, the leader of the team, Kopp, after the game, said that the battle is the masterpiece of his coaching career, and the difficulty of it is even more difficult than the 2019 UEFA European League against the classic win over Barcelona.
The two teams in the early part of the game were on the offensive and defensive, but Liverpool made a mistake in the 25th minute, Alexander Arnott received Mohammed Sana's pass back "oil leakage", was Anthony Gordon one-two goal; 3 minutes later, the "Reds" were in a desperate situation, Wah Kiil Wendy Jaeker kicked down the one-two punch of Alexander Ishaq, and the referee was shown a direct red card.
Newcastle, who played more than one game, had a few attacks on goal, but the lintel and the goalpost each saved Liverpool's life. The Reds' substitution of Darwin Nunes in the 77th minute, the Uruguayan shooter scored a beautiful goal in 4 minutes to equalize the match, and then in 3 minutes of the extra time, he received a straight line from Mohammed Sara and shot at a narrow spot to lead Liverpool to a miraculous comeback win.
In my 1,000 matches in charge, I've never experienced anything like this, facing this opponent in this kind of atmosphere with 10 men, and I'm so sure it won't happen again (a comeback), so this is a super special moment," Gopp said excitedly after the match. This game is even more difficult than the victory over Barcelona (0-3 in the first leg). At half-time I told the players (if we win), this is the kind of game you will tell your children and grandchildren about in the future, and I'll see my grandson in 10 days' time, and I'll tell him about it!
