Liverpool defeated Southampton 4-0 at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, with Diogo Jota scoring twice.
The Reds romped to a 4-0 win over Southampton at Anfield on Saturday, with Jota scoring twice and Thiago Alcantara and Virgil van Dijk also scoring.
The Portuguese currently has seven Premier League goals this season, trailing only teammate Mohamed Salah, with Liverpool scoring 39 goals in their first 13 top-flight games, a club record.
"Diogo is a terrific player, an exceptional boy," Klopp remarked. A ideal signing since he possesses all of the qualities that a Liverpool player in this group requires.
"He has technical capabilities, physical talents, plus he is quite smart and can absorb all of the tactical stuff fairly quickly." Furthermore, he can play all three places up front and as a number 10 in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
"He has a lot of speed and a strong determination to finish things off." His goal-scoring stats are quite outstanding. Unfortunately, he suffered a major injury last year, which is never ideal. But, thank God, he's back and fits in well with this team, and I couldn't be happier with him.
"I thought he could have made a better judgment before scoring, but maybe he was smart enough to finish it off easier later." But everything is well, and Diogo is a good player."
The win relegated Liverpool to second place in the table, one point behind leaders Chelsea, who face Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.
Jota has started 10 of the 13 Premier League games this season, with Roberto Firmino still out with a hamstring injury.
And Klopp has explained how the forward was "clever enough" to see first-team opportunities when he joined from Wolverhampton Wanderers last September.
"It's not a rule that we always start with the same lineup, "He stated. "It should come as no surprise that our other players are excellent. " But it's about playing 35 really terrific games rather than getting through a season and playing 50 games." It's perfectly normal for you to need to rest. For these moments, you need more than 11 players in your squad, and you need more than three strikers, even if you only play three.
“Diogo was smart enough to see that and that’s why he made the move and can contribute so well.”
