Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp put Saturday’s 2-0 win over AC Milan down to the team’s impressive performance rather than individual ability.
The Reds ran out convincing winners at Levi’s Stadium in the International Champions Cup fixture with second-half goals from Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino.
Origi broke the deadlock against the Serie A outfit following a wonderful strike in the 58th minute, with the Belgian striker impressing in his first appearance of the preseason.
However, Klopp insisted in a news conference after the meeting with the Italian side that the victory came from efforts by all those that featured.
“Everybody knows about the potential of Divock Origi. I understand that after a game like this you name single players,” Klopp said.
The 19-year-old joined Klopp’s team on the preseason tour immediately after taking part in this summer’s under-19 European Championships with England.
“I don’t know, we have to see,” The German said. “He’s a wonderful player that’s for sure. His future is 100 percent at Liverpool. [But] the near future, we didn’t make decisions. I don’t think we have to make decisions so early.
“We have time and we have to use the time. We have already a few injuries, nor the biggest but in the wrong positions, I would say. We have to be cool enough to train and to make the boys as big as possible and Ojo is with us since five days, he came to us direct from the tournament. We will see but his future is at Liverpool.”
