Liverpool face easier than Burnley

Southampton midfielder Oriole Romeo said his team was more likely to score against Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday over Burnley, who lost 3-0 at the start of the tournament because Liverpool does not rely on long balls.

The Ralph Hazenhotel team has not managed to cope with Burnley's superiority in air matches this weekend. The host scored three goals in 12 minutes in the second half, squeezing long balls to hit the middle and Southampton defense.

"It's easy for us to face the teams that are attacking and relying on the ball, and we'll have more chances against Liverpool," he told reporters.

"Burnley is not counting on the ball from behind – all his attacks are long balls, which does not give us the chance to go from the front."

"We will have opportunities against Liverpool because it will do more, which will give us more chances to score goals and hope to put them under pressure."

However, Southampton is particularly worried about his record against Liverpool, losing in his last four league games, conceding 11 goals and scoring only one.

Southampton had started badly last season, winning only one game out of 16, retiring to the relegation zone before finishing the season in 16th place, but Romeo said he was confident in the fact that 39, it could improve during the first full season of Hazenhotel coach.

"We will not rush things in. We want to send everyone the message that we have to stay calm because it is not the end of the season.The team will react.I am confident . "

"We are all convinced that this season will be much better, but we have to play at full power for 90 minutes, from the first to the last game of the season, otherwise we will have difficulties."

"I also hope the fans will support us and support us because we want to compensate after Burnley, we want to improve and get a good result."
