Tottenham Was A Tough Opponent For Liverpool – Wijnaldum

Holland midfielder, Georginio Wijnaldum has said Liverpool should have done even better against Spurs after their 1-0 win away from home.

According to Wijnaldum, the Reds know that a lot of work has to be done if they want to keep getting the required results to win the league.

He added that Spurs was a tough opponent and they had it in them to equalize.

His words, “[It was] really tough [physically] but also because I think we made it really tough for ourselves in the second half,”

“I think first half we played a good game but we gave sniffs away and gave them a little bit of confidence.

“Because it was only 1-0, they had the confidence they could equalise and in the second half you know they will come out and try to equalise. That’s what makes it harder – and also because we didn’t do what we did in the first half.

“I think that was the reason why it was really tough. Normally, it’s always tough when you play against Tottenham but I think we made it tougher than what it was.

“It was only 1-0 so they had the confidence to try to score a goal. We had to do better with the situation. At the end we defended well but in a few bits in the game we gave chances away and we were lucky they didn’t score.”

On Liverpool’s form, “It is [incredible],”

“But we also work really hard to keep this run going, we have a manager who keeps both our feet on the ground and to work even harder.

“Every day when we are training or playing a game, we try to do it better than we did before. We always strive to do it better.”
