Ahead of the big game of the day in the Premier League, Klopp spoke about the quality of one player in attack

If there is one thing that has characterised Liverpool FC manager Jürgen Klopp over the seasons, it is how he refers to his opponents, always with respect and acknowledging the quality they have. This time at a press conference ahead of the Arsenal clash, Klopp spoke about striker and Premier League star Gabriel Jesus, who has five goals and three assists on his arrival in London.

For Klopp, the former Manchester City striker is having a great start to the season, where in a short time since his arrival at Arsenal, he has the club at the top of the table. "He (Gabriel Jesus) is flying, full of confidence, the confidence that only top players have. His arrival at Arsenal has been good for him, they are now a competitive team," the German manager said ahead of the matchday 10 game in England.

Jürgen continued to express himself in this preview of Gabriel Jesus, who catalogued him as a skilful player who on his arrival in England in 2017, became an important piece that through his goals, made the 'Citizens' reap titles. "If you're not playing against him, it's easy to appreciate what he's doing. He is perfect to compete," said the coach in his contact with journalists.

Gabriel Jesus began his professional career in the year of 2016 at Palmeiras of Brazil, to later be transferred for 31 million euros, winning the tab to FC Barcelona. "Gabigol" can boast at the age of 25, having won an Olympic Games (2016) and a Copa America (2019) in addition to his domestic league and cup titles with the "Italia Palestra".

Klopp plans to stop Gabriel Jesus' attack with a strong defensive line, led by Dutch superstar and leader Virgil van Dijk, who has paired with Cameroon's Joel Matip as the Red's solid men at the back. They will be joined on the wings by England's Trent Alexander-Arnold and Greece's Konstantinos Tsimikas, who have repeated in the last few games.
