Liverpool made up for the disappointment of the loss to Lyon in the Dubai Champions Cup with a convincing performance against AC Milan.
Darwin Núñez was the man with two goals to his name in a six-minute brace after his late arrival for matches, but it was the club’s young contingent that particularly impressed Jurgen Klopp on the day the German praised the ‘performance Complete’ by Stefan Bajcetic.
And of course when you bring the kids [in the] second half and you see Bobby Clark’s pass and all of Stefan’s performance, Mel’s performance at right back and then 17-year-old Ben Doak comes in and he’s kind of a natural force, it’s great look,” said the German strategist. to the official website of the club.
“In these 10 or 11 days, especially the children, they all made a real step forward. That’s why these things are so important, that we can involve them.
“And overall, tonight was the result of the last 10 days of what we saw in training and tonight we were able to bring it to the court, which is obviously a good thing.”
Both Ben Doak and Bobby Clark had a direct hand in the Uruguay international’s goals as the Reds stepped up their preparations for a return to competitive action.

Although we won’t be counting on the electric capabilities of Luis Díaz in the League Cup clash with Manchester City on December 22, it was a performance that signaled an intent to pick up where we left off before the World Cup.
Four wins in four (in all competitions) following a 2-1 loss to Leeds United at home was certainly what was expected to lift spirits as Liverpool languished outside the top four.
Assuming no further injuries arise between now and the resumption of domestic football, we look more than up for the challenge of fighting our way back to the announced Champions League places as we continue to fight on all fronts in 2022/23.
