Defense continues to be the worry of coach J.Klopp after Liverpool struggled to draw Greuther Furth club in the German Second Division with a score of 4-4 in a friendly match on the evening of July 24 in Germany

Leading by 2 goals but conceding 3 goals in the second half, Liverpool had to rely on M. Salah to score at the end of the game to bring a 4-4 draw against Greuther Furth (German Second Division) in a closed friendly match with the audience.

Coach J.Klopp launched a strong team, in which rookie Alexis Mc Allister played in central midfield with Trent Alexander Arnold, while rookie D. Szoboszlai was injured during the training session, so he was absent.

Nunez opened the scoring

With a high-pressure playing style, Liverpool led 1-0 thanks to L.Diaz’s goals. Jota missed two chances to increase the lead in the first half.

 

In the second half, Mr. Klopp changed almost the entire squad and let D.Nunez – Salah lead the attack. The mistake of goalkeeper Adrian created an opportunity for the German club to equalize, but Nunez then scored 2 goals to bring the “Red Brigade” to increase the gap, including an assist from Salah.

However, the distraction of the defense cost the English club 3 goals in just 10 minutes. It was not until the 89th minute that Salah equalized for Liverpool after Nunez’s cross.

It is not clear whether coach Klopp should strengthen the defense after what has just happened.

Liverpool after this match will fly to Singapore, starting the second phase of summer training.

On July 24, another remarkable friendly result was Real Madrid’s comeback against AC Milan 3-2 in the summer tour of European clubs in the US. The Italian team took a 2-0 lead at the Pasadena Stadium in Los Angeles thanks to Tomori and Romero, but the Spanish club won back with a double from F. Valverde and a finish from V.Junior.

Bellingham

Although the first half of Real did not play well, coach C. Ancelotti was very satisfied with the debut of rookie of over 100 million euros J. Bellingham. The young English star makes the difference in the midfield for Real with his mobility and creative tactical vision.
